On cross examination by District At- torney Hedges, the witness said that , he and Bowlsby were married in 1891, and that her husband was 11 years old i, ev than her. Her acquaintance with Jennings commenced about a year ago last June". She came to Astoria on May 20th arriving here about 1 o'clock p. in. Bowlsby had been in Astoria about two 4 weeks before she saw him on Monday before the shooting which occurred on ; Friday. She also saw him on Thurs ' day, the day before the affray, at her Thursday Bowlsby left I for Portland on the afternoon boat, she I m, Natives' coins to the wharf i with him.

An objection by counsel for the defenoe, .against further answer was sustained. She recognized a letter written by her to Jennings and alter Attorney Smith had read it he ob jected to its introduction and handed the letter to Judge Mi-Bride who after perusing it decided mat it was mau missable. - Win. Harrold testified that he was Mrs. BowlsliyV brother. Tlit he had known the defendant for IT years, and Miat he had also known Jennings. He knew the man with Jennings but did not know his name as he had seen him but twice, once being at the coroner's inquest. He thought that Jennings roomed over the Palace Restaurant. Ohas. Jennings was the namo given by Mrs. Bowlsby, at Harrold's residence. He said that he remembered Jennings hav ing taken Mrs. Bowlsby to the theatre a few davs before Bowlsby came to town. When Harrold saw Bowlsby the latter nsked him if Jennings was in town and his reply was Hint his man had gone He knew nothing except hearsay about threats made bv Jennings but had ' told Bowlsby that his brother had said, that Jennings said he would kill Bowls by, and that he and his partner would walk, one on each sido of him, and kill him. When Harrold first saw Bowlsby, he discovered him on Commercial street, acting queerly and, at fli'st, did not rec oirnize him. lis he was dressed queerly and acting like a crazy man. He told his wife that Bowlsby did not act like the same man he had been. He testified that the defendant showed a much im proved appearance, at the present time, oyer that of the time he reached here, before the murder. He told Bowlsby not to come to his house, as he feared that he would kill his sister. ' Carl Schilzer, of North Bend, was the next witness, and, in his testimony, he stated that he know Bowlsby for about three years. He also knew Jennings. In ' a oenversation, one dayL Jennings told the witness that he had beenvintimate with Mrs. Bowlsby. Witness told this ' story to two others. After hearing this he took notice of Bowlsby, and saw that he was a changed man, after Bowlsby had learned of it. v B. Clint, also of North Bend, saw Jen ninirs and Mhs. Bowlaby acting endear- lm?lv to each other, while Beatcd on a wharf, in North Bend. Walter Spade testified to the same effect. iMYs. Win. Harrold. sister-in-law of Mr. Bowlsby, testified that she knew Jennings slightly. She had met him a font times. She heard him threaten Bowlsby. When Mrs. BoVlsby tried to induce Jenninns to leave town, as Bowls by was eomiii, he replied that he would not leave, as he had a pistol and would kill Bowlsby. She did not communicate this to the defendant. Jennings was at Harrold's house the day before the shoot ing, conversing with Mrs. Bowlsby. Chief animal testified that he first met Bowlsby in the early part of June, before the shooting, ne was much thin- now. He saw him at the police station. There had been a complaint made that he was not acting right and carried a 'Min. He had talken a room at Sirs ran- non's and the chief was informed that lie did not use it the first night, and that Mrs Fttiinon feared that he hail jumped overboard. When Oammel saw him, he told Otlicei' Obcrg that he thought that the man was crazy, and not responsible for his actions. Mrs. Fannon .was sworn, and stated that Bowlsby came to her house some time before the shooting, and engaged a room. She noticed that his appear ance was strange and that he acted queerly. She thought he was a very sick man, or one who was m great trouble. She told her daughter to notify the police, as she thought he ought to be looked after. 'Miss Nora Bowlsby, daughter of Bow lsby gave testimony as to her father's action, after he had accused her mother of misbehaving. She was going to school, at the time, in North Bend. For a few months before coining to Astoria, tlur linil not. acted naturally. Be fore that time he had been cheerful and pleasant. She' noticed a change in him, and he began to become forgetful, and would forget to procure things that he would be told to bring home. He did not sleep more than probably three, or four hours in a week, and would pace the tloor, and the family became uneasy about him. He would walk the floor and talk to himself, and continue swear ing. On one occasion, when she brought his hat, at his request, he claimed that it was not his hat, as his hat was not a red one. The hat offered him was a gray one with a black band. Heard her father ask her mother not. to have any thing to do with Jennings, and her mother said she would only talk to him. She told he father that he was mistaken about her mother, that her mother was only acquainted with Jennings. Her father received a letter and started away for Astoria about fle days afterward. She helped in cooking the meals at home, nn.1 knows that he ate but little, seldom sitting at the table. His condition now is much better than it was at that time. He is about in the same condition, now Napoleon Bonaparte showed, at the battle of Austerlitz, he was the greatest Lsader in the world.
