In answer to the testimony of Lawrey to the effect that she had offered him T5000 to draw up a will that would stand the test of the courts, she told her story of her rela tions with that attorney, a story re plete with sensations. Not only did she deny having made the offer, but she declared Lawrey had persistently sought her out in an endeavor to be hired to draw up a document, and re peatedly told her of other fraudulent Instruments he had executed, hud shown her a collection of signatures of well known business men of the city and in short had resorted to every expedient he knew to thrust his ser vices upon her. Denounces John iJiwrey. She declared she and her detective, Lou Hartman, had f.rst called upon Lawrey to ascertain if he had drawn up a wi'l which had come into her possession, the will in question being "No. 5." At that time, she said, he asked them to come back the follow ing night, and upon their return as bidden had suggested that he could draw up a will "that all hell couldn't shake." She refused his offers, she declared, and on another visit by his request was shown a collection of signatures of prominent business men he had. Then, she testified, he un folded his plan, declaring he would draw up a will, sign his own name as one witness and that of a man by the name of Naylor, now deceased, or of C. C. Hendricks, as the second. "If we use Naylor's name," she swore he told her, "they can't prove he didn't write it for he is dead and I can make a perfect signature. If we put Hendrick's name down, I'll go to him and tell him so often that he did sign it that he will believe it himself. I believe in the power of suggestion and I can make it work on him."

Upon her refusal, she said, here cited to her fraudulent papers he had drawn up and which had gone through the courts, naming the Watts will" as one of them and a certain deed to a piece of property on the north side of the river as an other. Also, she said, he revaled a scheme by which he almost succeeded In irnttinir the estate of Samuel George or St. Oeorge for an English , relative and had only failed when the Englishman had "played the fool" and gone home. At this time, Mrs. Warner declared her detective. Lou Hartman, denounced him as the big gest crook in the state and refused emphatically to be a party to his pro posed scheme. A visit was paid to her by Lawrey at the Bowman Hotel, she testified, when his offer was renewed with the stipulation that only a small payment be made down and the remainder of the $5000 when she secured the prop erty. At this time, she declared, she repeated her refusal and forbade him ever to speak to her again, whereupon, she said, the lawyer call ed her a fool. Goes to Him With Revolver. One more visit was paid by her to the attorney, she declared, and that not more than two weeks ago.

While being driven to the city last night by the city marshall and a man in the employ of Ernest Knight, Lee suddenly grasped the whip, leaped from the rig, struck the horse and disappeared through a field.

At this statement she leaned forward in her chair and fix ed her piercing black eyes on the dis trict attorney and there was no doubt she meant to accuse that official of having been hidden in the adjoining room on that occasion, as she has done out of court sweral times.
