Continuing her story she told of
Hoing to Santa Anita. Where she lived
,ii the Hotel Oakwood, where Bald

attention that a husband would to a

ners—the one he gave her partaking
of the nature of a bridal banquet. She
kept as mementoes the roses she wore
that night as well as his buttonhole
bouquet. Both were Introduced as

"Of course," said Cavin MeNab,
one of the attorneys for the defense,
when the withered posies were placed
before his eyes, "wo understand these
are 'flowers which bloom In the spring
liit-la,' and believe 'they have nothing
to do with the case.' "
i ither dinner favors, relics of the
name festivity, were shown. They were
red paper bonnets for the women and
paper caps for the men. Other pic
tures of the days of 1893 were shown,

"That Mas thr old form of 'Joyrid

"Finally I heard a woman talking
about Mr. Baldwin's wife. I asked her
If ho were not divorced. She gave me
.i cutting laugh and said not that any
body had ever heard of, I sought Mr.
Baldwin and told him 1 wanted to see
his divorce papers. He admitted that
ha hud no divorce.
"Oh, the horror of that moment. To
think that 1 should have been living
with him in shame.
"He admitted that he had no right
to have tricked me Into what I thought
was marriage. Ho said he wanted a
divorce, but declared that his wife,
Lilly, would not divorce him and he
could not divorce her, because she had
not done anything.
BALDWIN ADMITS D*X>BH
"I asked him why he hud not tom
me the truth the night of March 3 and
.saved me from my shame. He said
that I was too much of -a Puritan,
while hi was a Mohammedan and be
lieved in a man's having more than
one wife. He said we could bo happy
together anyway and he would be kind
to ma and care for me and the child.
At that point in her story a recess
was taken until afternoon, when there
was a noticeable increase In the num
ber of women In the crowd. Many of
them stood patiently all through th*
remainder of the day's session.
When the court was called to or
der Mr. Grant reverted for a few
moments to the pictures of Mrs. Turn
bull that had been finished In red and
blue. In response to his questions Mrs.
Turnbull said that Baldwin had or
dered a third one to be finished in pink
tor the child. She declared that he
kept it.
She also recalled an Instance, when
In San Francisco, she had asked him
tor money with which to buy shoes.
He told her, she said, to go to a stor*
in Market strict, say she was his wife,
and have them charged to him. She
did bo, purchasing a pair of gray suede
shoes for evening wear.
Mrs. Turnbull resumed her story at
the point where she had learned that
she was not Baldwin"^ legal wife.
"He said it was my duty," she as
serted, "to live with him, because of
the child. Ho brought as much pres
sure as he could, but I still refused.
Ho told me It was right for me to live
with him and that he would care well
for me and make mo happy if only I
would forget my foolish scruples.
WOMAN'S WAX OVER
"I became ill. I wanted to die. Mr.
Baldwin assisted me to retire. I don't
remember much more of that time. I
was sick a day or two and Mr. Bald
win nursed me. When I recovered he
was about to go east. He gave me
$120 and left, telling me to join him
when I had come to my senses. He
said for me to stay as long as I liked
at the Baldwin hotel and be kissed me
goodby and left.
"I continued to occupy the apart
ments at the hotel until one day H.
A.i Unruh, Mr. Baldwin's confidential
business adviser and manager, sent me
a note in which he asked me to leave,
as my rooms were wanted. I tele
graphed to Mr. Baldwin, who answered
to the effect that any person annoying
me in that manner again would be dis
charged.
"Nevertheless, bellboys continually
brought me more, notes with the same.
request, and finally I left the hotel
May "6 1893. I decided to go east to

where I was told he whs in Cincinnati.
I went there and was told he had gone

probably would return in a few days
and I could wait for him if I liked. I
finally found him in St. Louis. I met
him at the race track and had a talk,

received at the Baldwin hotel. He said
I should have stayed there Instead of
following him east. He said he was
glad to set- me, however, and asked me
to live with him there. Ho said ha

would be shameful and disgraceful.
He gave me $40 and left me.

her troubles, "all of my hair had been

■Who was the father of that child?
asked Mr. Grant.
■■Ellas Jackson Ualdwin," was tho
quick ami firm answer.
She told of the. child's being baptized
in panadena, v. here Mrs. Turnbull lived
several years, supporting herself by
conducting a manicure establishment.
She wrote to Baldwin of th« birth of
the child and In 1897 went to San Fran
cisco to see him. She .ailed with the
child and her sister, but. saw only a
Col. Kowalsky, Baldwin's attorney.
A «I"K.STION OF JOKES

Mr. McNab asked if It could he proved
by Col. Kowalsky.
'•'1 can prove II by him," asserted Mr.
Grant. , , , i
••Oh you can prove anything by < nl.
Kowalsky." declared Mr. Mi Nab.
Mr. liraut responded that he wan.
glad his opponent* wen- llling to
make such an admission.
Mr. m. Nab let Mi. Mclnerny step
into the bri-.u h.
"(if course," said the latter, "It Is i
understood that Mr. McNah's remark
was only airy perslflago."
••A sort of Joke?" suggested Mr. Grant
sarcastically.
That was it," ■ aid Mr. Mclncrny, "ii f
sort, of juke."
■I hope tie- jury understand jokes,"
said Mr. Grant.
Mr. Hutton, Mr. Grunt's associate, tit
(.■lured sijeli remarks were highly im
proper and might Influence the Jury if
Col. Kowalsky were (ailed as a wit
ness.
Mrs. TurnbuH told of going east and
teaching manicuring. she started to
tell of the education of the child, but
the court sustained an objection of the
defense. The plaintiff's attorneys then
surrendered the witness for cross-ex
amination.
WOMAN CBOSB-K.XAMINED
"The first time you met Baldwin
whs October 4, 1891, you testified,"
said Mr. McNab.
•It was," said Mrs. Turnbull.
"You met him ut the Thompsons'
home, showed him about the grounds
and lunched with him, I belleva?"
"I did."
'•He wanted to adopt you'"'
"Yes."

"I knew he must be married to have

"Is there any difference between br

a special way?" Inquired Mr. MeNab
with sarcasm.
The witness was silent.
■•Mill you fall In love with Baldwin
in the short time that elapsed between
the period when you thought htm a
married man and that when lie told
you ho had been divorced?"
"I had loved him as a father before."
■aid Mrs. Turnbull. "He was very!
kind to me."
"But you began to love him differ
ently when he said he was divorced."
"Well, that made a groat deal of
difference."
"And it was in May. TW. that you

not h'-en divorced?"
"Yes."
"And then you Immediately ceas .1 to

Mr. Dockweller, for the plaintiff, In
stantly objected.
The court overruled his objection.
Mr. Dockweiler officially made an
exception.
Much of the remainder of the ses
sion was punctuated with the three i
words. "Objection," "overruled." and
"exception."
Mr. MeNab continued to ply ques
tions relating to J]rs. Turiibull's inti
mate associations with Baldwin, ask
ing her of ber "coming to Los An
ffeles from San Francisco, taking; her
honeymoon alone," and registering un- ,
der the name of Lillian A. Ashley at |
the Hotel Westminster, although she |
had said she thought she was married j
to Baldwin and therefore entitled to
be known 8P his wife.
"Mr. Baldwin told mo to register]
under that name," declared Mrs. Turn
bull.
TRIP TO CORON'ADO
Then Mr. MeNab asked about their }
trip to Coronado.
"How did you register there " he
asked.
"Mr BaJdwin attended to that,"
said Mrs. Turnbull, "while I waited In
the ladies' room."
"Did you not look at the register?"
"I did not."
"How did he introduce you?"
"As his wife."'
"Did he not Introduce as his daught
er?"
"Well, when the words 'Mrs." and
•Miss' are spoken repldly it sometimes
is hard to tell the difference between
them. I may have misunderstood."
Mrs. Turnbull then testified that it
was not until August, 1895, that she
learned she had not been registered
at- the hotel in Coronado as Mr«. Bald
win but as Miss Asnley.
In an attempt, it was understood, to
prove that she had known that fact
before Utters alleged to be In her hand

' to Identify the writing. She could not
say for sure that it was hers. She
was shown the marks a clerk of the
court in San Francisco had placed up
on it during the trial of a seduction
case, she brought thore against Bald
win years ago when it was alleged
she had admitted she wrote the letter.
I>EI'LAJ<KS I.KTTKR FUR4JKRV
She examined the letter more closely
and declared it a forgery.
The clerk who had the letter in his
ear.: at the time the case was tried
in the. morth, who was subpoenaed as
a witnesses, a Mr. McElroy, whs asked
to rise, to "refresh Mrs. Turnbull's
memory," it was stated. She did not
recognise him, she said. Neither did
she remember a Mr. Smith, the court |
stenographer, nor a Mr. Martin, the
bailiff, who also were exhibited.
Then followed queries as to her
knowing a James H. Wood, to whom
the utter was addressed. Bhe knew
him. said he was a detective and that
she had met him in Boston,
"He came to mo thore," she said.
"For what puspo.se?"
•I can't rememoer."
"Did he not call upon you as the
ajront of Colonel Albert Pope?"
•N.i."
"Did he ever give you any money?"
"Not himself.
"What do you mean by 'himself"."
"He handed me money when J start

TELLS CONGRESS
TO TAKE A REST
Lafe Young of lowa Doffs Toga,
Calls Colleagues Boys and
Gives Them a Lecture
I Astsclstod PrtM]
WASHINGTON, Dee. 15- Senator
Lafayette Young of lowa today gave
tho legislative body of which he has
been a member exactly ten days, tho
surprise of its existence.
lie had prepared to make an attack
on his coll.'ague. Senator Cummins,
who seeks the adoption of a concur
rent resolution to change the rules of
the senate and house, so as to permit
piecemeal revision of the tariff law.
This he did, and mine.
Doffing his toga when he arose, ho
lectured the grave and dignified sena
tors from the standpoint Of an editor,
which he is in private life.
The senate gaaped and then laughed
when Mr. Young told it the country
would feel relieved were congress to
adjourn altogether for two "solid"
years.
It gasped again when lie alluded to
its members ill breezy fashion as
' boys," and when ho declared tho
editors of the country and not con
gress, rule" the country, the galleries
.joined with the senators In general
hilarity.
Senator Young's speech, which oc
cupied less than aji hour, commanded
the Strictest attention. The senator
had prepared an address which was
before him on his desk, but he sel
dom consulted the manuscript. He
warmed as he proceeded, and. ap
parently realising that it might be at
once his salutatory and his swan song,
he spoke his real thoughts on legisla
tion and on the national legislature.
OI'I'OSKS TARIFF <'HAXUKS
His reference to editors and printers'
Ink as the real directors of tho des
tinies of the nation was followed by
disavowal of any intent to offend.
When he called his colleagues "boys,"
ho accompanied it with a wave of his
[ hand. This incident followed a story
| of how, JtiMt us he was about to take
■ the train for Washington, and a con
stituent buttonholed him.
"Go down there, senator," said the
I constituent, "and for heaven's sake put
up a fight for the consumer."
"1 will not." Mr. Young said he re
plied. "Those boys there are doing
I that. I am going to fight for the pro-
I ducer."
Mr. Young opposed all efforts at re
vision of the existing tariff because,
as he contended, the law protects the
farmer. He had great fear, he said,
that ultimately the adoption of the
Cummins resolution would prove in
jurious to the great agricultural inter
ests.
»lr. Young spoke of the recent elec
tions and plainly referring to the pro
gressive Republicans, said that argu
ments made by men within tho Re
publican party had produced Demo
cratic votes.
In discussing attacks by Insurgents on I
the principle of protection, Mr. Young
told Of meeting Col. W. ■<■ Bryan re
cently, and of saying to him that just
as the latter had progressed in fitness
for the presidency, his chances had
diminished and that as he had now be
come a conservative, his party would
not prefer him for that high office.
