The crowd in Kaiser Wil-helm Strasse especially was determined to hold their ground. The first charge of the police had effect whatever and the police were compelled to withdraw, some having been quite severely hurt by the sticks and stones of the mob. The police then drew swords and charged, slashing right and left. I he mob still held its in-ound and re turned blow for blow, but finally began slowly to give way, contesting every inch ot ground.

23. The Baker trial at Abingdon excites more and more interest every day. The evident reluctance of the principal witness to talk, on account of her infatuation for the prisoner, became absolutely indisputable when the letters exchanged by them since his incarceration read in court.

"I made falsestatemcnts to Baker when I told him in mv letters that 1 was co operating with him to kill my husband. Gilmer once accused me of infidelity but 1 swore on bended knees that I had been true to him. 'I regarded mv course as a sin and once Baker said that God would so regard it. I felt greatly relieved at the lormer trial when confession had been made and a great burden was lifted Irom my mind. "I wns arrested in May.

I remained at mv father's house at Pulaski. My re conciliation with mv husband was effec ted about three weeks alter my trial. 1 im living with him now. The divorce proceedings have been dismissed."
