He saw Dickerson two or three times a day, in the saloon or on the streets. He said that when Garrett threatened to steal Mra.

On cross examination Breyer became much confused ami twlsiml .hnnt in hla chair as Deputy District Attorney ntsaerald demanded to know what kind of mark he had made. He might pected to testify that she told Dicker- son or tnmgs said by Garrett, but In this she disappointed the defense. She said she never talked with Garrett about Dickerson or his wife and never saw Garrett and Mrs. Dickerson toe-ether. She did not go to the camp until after Mrs. Dickerson bad parted with her husband. Mra.- Benjamin in her testimony de scribed the parting of Dickerson and his wife In May. She said Dickerson kissed his wife and the little girl good bye, . and agreed to meet them down town at S o'clock, as they had planned to go to the theatre. Dickerson gave her some money to do some shopping. About half an hour after Mrs. Dicker son and the little girl. left. and., they never returned. That night ahe saw Dickerson, who appeared to be much broken up over his wife's leaving him. After that Mra. Dickerson once called her up over the telephone, she said, and tne witness asKea ner lr she were meet ing Garrett anywhere. She said she was not. A day or two later Garrett asked , her why she had aaked Mrs. Dickerson that kind of a' question, which proved to her that Garrett and Mrs. Dickerson were communicating with each other.

The letters from Mrs. Dickerson in troduced In evidence bear date of May 29 and June 1. and were identified bv Mra Benjamin, aa the ones shown to ner by Dickerson about three weeks be fore the shooting. The first reads as follows: "Friend I wrote vou last Sunrl&v ami did you get It? I have been looking for an answer. I am staying out with my folks near Sylvan.
