BOTH PARTIES TESTIFY SIR. AND MRS. THOMPSON OS WITNESS STAXD. THE Defendant Denies Every Charge Slade by Her Husband Involv ing Krupke Other Witnesses. At the trial of the Thompson divorce cult yesterday, both husband and wife vook. me witness sraaa ana xoia tneir stories. Mrs. Thompson was very dra maitlc, and at times tearfully recited the details of some of the Indignities which 6he eald were heaped upon her by the 'plaintiff, but for the most part was very forcible in her denunciation. She spurned tho Idea that she would have anything' like improper relations with George .Krupke, who waa only a hostler In their employ, and sold she looked upon him only as a working man and treated him civilly. She tried to love her husband. She referred to articles published in a 5un6ay paper, and of her husband ac cusing her of being the person referred to, and that she talked it over with him In his office and eald to him: "Do you allow people to hang around your office, land lean over your desk, and talk about your wife? Even if it was truo you ought to Do ashamed of yourself. She Indignantly denied every oharge made against her by her husband in re lation to Krupke. She said she mot him at the beach, and they walked together Sometimes ai people do at the coast ro Borts. Siie went to the beach for the reason that she was feeling very bad. Mrs. Thompson further testified that Thompson told her he wanted to get rid of her because ho had a black-eyed widow. He never personally abused her, she stated. Referring to some letters which were introduced, presumed to have been intended for Krupke, but which were never sent to him, the witness explained that they were written merely for literary exercise. One long love-scented epistle of H pages, containing: an account of the eeparatlon of two loving hearts, Mrs. Thompson asserted, was written by her for Miss Helen Hopkins, to All In a chap ter In a book the latter was writing. The letter contains many choice, well-selected passages, and altogether is a very credit able composition. The witness said she quoted passages from Browning's poems to some extent. Tho evidence of Mrs. Thompsoa was listened to with rapt at tention by the crowd of spectators that reached out into the hallway. "W. O. Collins and Ed "Werthetmer, who saw Mrs. Thompson at the beach last Summer, testified that they saw nothing wrong in her conduct. Charles H. Thompson, the plaintiff, af ter answering the preliminary question, asked by Attorney R. C. Wright, told the following story- "In September. 1899. I went home one afternoon and heard voices in the base ment. I went down and found George oiling a set of harness and my wife sit ting on & block of wood talking to him. I said nothing at that time, but went up stairs. My wife camo up in about 30 minutes, and I asked her If she could not find better society than the hostler. She told me she did not mean anything by it, and I never thought of tho Incident again for somo time. "We sent our horse to pasture late in the Fall and let Krupke go. Some time later, when we were talking of getting a nan to do tho work, Mrs. Thompson In sisted that I engage Krupke, and I came to the conclusion that it would be the best thing to do, and sent him a note. He came to roe. and I finally engaged him. telling him I would let him know when I wanted him. A short time after, Mrs. Thompson came into my office one day and then Krupke dropped la. We talked for a time, and I was called to the front office for a minute. As I was returning I saw that Mrs. Thompson and Krupko had their heads close together, too close, and wore whispering. I went In. and Mrs. Thompson sold she would toko the 4 o'clock car for Mount Tabor. She left and Krupke stayed, as I had somo things to say to him. He was very nervous, twisted around in his chair and wriggled back and forth. I could not make out what it was about, but I became sus picious and determlsod to follow him. "He went to the corner of Third and Yamhill streets, where he met Mrs. Thompson. They talked for 15 minutes and separated. When I went home I was mad, and I said, 'Minnie, when did you oee George last?" She replied that sho saw him at my office before she left. I asked her if she was sure and she said she was. Then I said, TTou lie. I fol lowed you and saw you meet. She laughed and said she would do as she pleased. I told her that she must have nothing more to do with Krupke. I did not think that my -wife would stoop so low as to associate with him." Mr. Thompson told somo other things, and said ho did everything in the world for his wife. On cross-examination he admitted that his former wife obtained a divorce from him. John Newman, the present hostler at the Thompson residence, testified that Krupke visited tho house. Charles Bartel testified that he saw Mrs. Thompson and Krupke behind a log at the beach, and they seemed like lov ers. W. C. Morgan and A. Caswell also testified to seeing them behind the log. Mrs. M. Davison, who was a waiter at Driftwood Cottage, testified that Mrs. Thompson and Krupke were together, and" she never saw her keep women's com pany at the beach. Mrs. Thompson talked about her husband, and said she had a fine home and everything, her heart de sired. A deposition from Cyrus Thompson, the orotner or the plaintiff, was read. Ho no ticed her actions towards Krupko when on visits here. Tho evidence for the defense will bo concluded toay. FAY SEVEItH GOES FREE. District Attorney Believes a Verdict Impossible. Fay Severe, who stabbed Emma Golden to death, with a dirk knife, as the result of a quarrel, waa set at liberty yesterday. Her case was set for a fourth trial to be gin today, and yesterday her attorneys filed a motion for a dismissal, based on the disagreement of the juries at the three previous trials. District Attorney Cham borlain did not oppose the motion, and made the following statement to the court: "In view of the fact that there have been three mistrials of this case, I feel convinced that there probably would never be a verdict for acquittal or con viction, and repeated trials will lead to nothing but expense. I view this and the youth of the girl, and the desire of her people to take her East to her home, therefore I do not desire to resist the motion, but will submit it to the court." Judge George reviewed the testtmonv and the attitude of the Jury in the dif ferent trials, and concurred in the opin ion that it would be difficult ever to reach a verdict, and the motion was conse quently allowed. The motion filed by the attorneys was submitted without argu ment, and was as follows: "Now comes the defendant, by her at torneys, and moves the court to dismiss the information pending herein, for the reason that this case has been tried three times and each trial resulted in a dis agreement of the Jury, and that the Jury upon the first trial stood eight for ac quittal and four for conviction, and that the Jury upon the second trial stood nine for acquittal and three for conviction, and that the Jury upon the third trial stood nine for acquittal and three for con viction, and that there is little probability that a conviction can be secured If this case was tried again." Fay Severe la a colored woman of the lighter cast, and Is said to be but 19 years of age. Emma Golden was also a col ored woman. They were disreputable characters. The prosecution failed to establish the motive alleged, jealousy, and the evidence of the state's witnesses also showed that Emma Golden sought the auaixel. The defenso was self-defense. o o o o o ' 9 9 9 09 IRISH LINENS GERMAN LINENS AUSTRIAN LINENS SCOTCH LINENS Jit all times our linen stock Js complete with a thorough representation of the world's best linens, gathered from all countries.
