In which Garrett waa addressed aa

munlcated to him. caused Dickerson to
V lose control of his will on the morning
of the: tragedy, his tnlnd being over

he remarked to Garrett that he aaw in
the papers that Dickerson and his wife
had parted. After a few other remarks
Garrett told him that he "would put

e ever inieneres witn me.
Herman Breyer, a third witness for
vine aerense, employed as an extra bar
tender at the Palm Leaf saloon on Flrnt
street, told of conversations with Gar
rett In which the latter said he would
steal Mrs. Dickerson from her husband.
; He aald Dickerson kept money in the-
saie at me saloon and paid off his men
there. 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. Dickerson he thought h
ought to tell Dickerson. but -he w.
- afraid he might forget to do so. He
' made a mark so he would remember it.
He was certain this was on May 23.
Witness Becomes Confused.
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.
Turned Child Affalast rather.
Mrs. Benjamin said it aDneared to her
tnat Mrs. jjicicerson sougnt to have the
uttle girl admire Garrett and at tha
same time toia tne cnua tnings aeroga
lory 10 ner lauier. uarrett never told
her anything of his liklna: for the con
tractor's wife, but once tolrl her of
Mrs. Dickerson having borrowed money
from him. She often saw them talking
together when Dickerson was not there.
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

"Grain Is a very Jmportant factor tn
the prosperity of both the state and the
transportation companies operating
therein. In 1908 it amounted to 16.97
per cent of the total state tonnage car
ried by the Northern Pacific over its
lines in this state, and to 46.07 per cent
of the total ton miles, and furnished
33.99 per cent of the total state reve
nue received by such company. The
product carried by the Northern Paclflo
main line and branches approximated
16.000.000 bushels, which contributed
v-ry largely to the wealth produced by
the state, The cost of movement, not
counting taxes. Interest or dividends,
was approximately 96.68 cents ner ton.
