"Girl in Blue" Gives Her Testimony. CHIEF HUNT AS WITNESS Men Who Saw the Dance Are Called - in Evidence, Both for the Pros ecution and for the Defense. Millie De Leon, otherwise Mrs. Rose, 'the girl In blue," explained the feat ures of her Oriental danoe In Judge Frazer's court yesterday before a Jury, and a crowded audience. She stated that she would be perfectly willing to do the dance for the enlightenment or the court and jury, but could not do so unless attired In her stage costume. "I cannot dance with corsets on," she said, "and the skirt I wear in my performance, which is specially adapt ed for the work, weighs only CO pounds." The court did not Insist upon an ex hibition of the dance, and Mrs. Rose ,-was permitted to finish her evidence. Bhe did not consider the dance im moral. It was a display of wonderful training of the muscles. "I do 61 dances," said the witness; "but if I do a skirt dance or something of that sort no one comes to see it." Mrs. Rose 1b fair and about 40. She testified In an intelligent manner, using good language. Her stage career was given as 18 years, and she expressed tho opinion that everything should be open fair time. She also asserted that ehe danced the Oriental dance in Buf falo at a theater attended by men, women and children, and' commented on the fact that the Cairo girls were giv ing a like exhibition on the Trail in the Exposition grounds, and were not molested. Mrs. Rose was on trial on a charge of violating the law passed by the last Legislature regarding delinquent chil dren. The complaint recites that she encouraged the delinquency of a fe male child about 14 years of age, whom Bhe says is her daughter by a former husband. The .child is now In a con vent in Vancouver. Mrs. Rose said she placed her there before she was arrested, and not to get her beyond the jurisdiction of the court. She said the child had been voll reared and educat ed, and never attended the dance per formance. A colored girl acted as her maid. To show that the woman is an unfit person to have the control and custody of the child, and was delinquent under the law, Mr. Adams. Deputy District Attorney, called numerous witnesses to tell what they knew concerning the character of the show. These included several well-known young men H. H. Wright, who is em ployed by the Title Guarantee & Trust Company; Curtis F. Wessons, an adver Using man. and D. M. Long. Mr.'Wes sels saw both the public dance and a private dance, which is sometimes given by Madame De Leon. Mr. Long did not attend the latter. Mr. "WcsfcIs testified that he had seon the little girl frequently with the colorod maid, and once he saw her dancing in a tent adjoining one of the gardons near tho Fair grounds. Wright said he saw the girl onoe in the vicin ity of her mother's show, and so did Long. Chief Hunt also saw the dance, and testified concerning it. He did not think it bad. but advised Mrs. Rose 3iot to throw garters to the crowd con lainlng her "photo" as souvenirs, and to cut out the outside exhibition given to draw the crowd. The Chief said he saw the'same kind of a dance at the Elks Carnival, open for everybody. men. women and children, and had wit nessed such a dance on other occasions. They knew he was the Chief of Police. and extonded him an invitation to private performance to be given In the evening, but he did not accept. He did not see tho little girl at the show. Captain of Police Slover atao told what he thought of the dance, and sev eral othor witnesses were called for the prosecution. Matt Murphy. E. J. Wilson and sev eral other witnesses were called for the defense. They all testified that the girl did not attend the show, and was cared for by the colored maid. Several of the citizens residing In the vicinity of the show building testified that the little girl was well behaved. W. Rose, the husband of the "girl in blue and spieler for the show, testi fied. He said they were married nine years ago, and that the girl was 16 years old yesterday, and was properly reared. She was the daughter of his wife by a former husband. Judge Frazer took occasion to cen sure Rose soverely for permitting his wife to make a living for him in such a manner. The case will be submitted to the Jury this morning. Law Does Xot Apply Here. The act which makes railroad compa nies liable for damages where an employe is .lnjurod because of some wrongful act on the part of an associate employe, known as the fellow-servant act. does not apply where the railroad company is also engaged in tho steamship business, and the accident complained of occurred on a steamship. Judge Cteland so held yester day Jr granting a nonsuit in the action of .Edward WhUtaker against the O. R. & V"- Co.. for $19,099 for personal injuries. Whlttakcr on June 21. ISM, was engaged 'tween decks receiving flour which was being loaded by the O. R & X. Co. into' the stoamship Arabia, when a rope sling broke and SO sacks of flour fell upon him. His back, .spine and other parts of his body were injured. The work was in charge of Eric Johanson. and the conten tion of the company was that Johanson had thrown aside tho sling, which parted, and ordered it not to be used, and his order was disobeyed. This was an addi tional ground for granting the nonsuit, be cause the evidence of the plaintiff did" not disprove this fact. A C. Spencer appeared as oewnsd for the defense.
