. WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, March 9. Baedeker
In hand, 'as any tourist might have
done three years ago, I have Just
"revisited" Arras, now certainly one
of the most wonderful cities in the
world
At I stood on the platform of the
roofless railway station, by the side
of a large hole recently dug by a
German shell, I took out my little red
book entitled "Baedeker's Northern
France," a handy volume prepared
by a German. At my back, less than
a thousand yards away, ran the Ger
man trenches. The spasmodic plop-
plop-plop of machine guns, the oc
casional hollow sound of trench mor
tars, and the boom of bursting pro
jectiles were distinctly audible, keep
ing up an unending symphony of
high explosives, while around me, in
the ruins of a once attractive station,
a cold rain splashes down drearily
into waiting rooms, ticket booths,
baggage . depots and the cafe. Be
tween the rails high weeds grew. On
the concrete platforms shattered
glass crunched beneath one's heels.
From overhead now and then came
a noiBe as of an Incoming train, but
it was only shells in flight.
. Good luck brought me a local
guide, to supplement the German

With the vigilance of his captors
somewhat relaxed, Rawllngs man
aged to free his arms, drew a knife
from his pocket and cut the rope se
curing his feet. His efforts wore of
no avail, however, for he was Im
mediately pounced on by Mrs. Bailey,
he declared, the knife taken from
him, and his arms and legs onro
more tied. It was then that she tried
to pour whisky and laudanum down
his throat, he said. He believed that
this mixture formed the contents of
the bottle which she urged upon him
because she stated that these two
ingredients were present, he declared.
When the attempt to moke him drink
was unsuccessful, the bottle was re
placed on a table, and squirming close
to it, he knocked the flask to the
floor, spilling its contents.

he said, but he inspected closely all
that was offered for his consump
tion, fearing that a second attempt
to poison him might be made.
At about 8 o'clock on the evening
of Tuesday', February 27, he was tak
en back to his own home. The woman
led his horse, while he rode, unbound.
Arrived at the house, Mrs. Bailey
instructed her son to search his ef

C. S. Hudson, president of the First
National Bank, corroborated the de
tails of the financial transactions
between Rawllngs and Mrs. Bailey,
but in regard to the 14500 check,
said he knew nothing of it. Accord
ing to Rawllngs' testimony, Mrs.
Bailey had stated that she sent the
check to H. C. Ellis, of Bend, for
collection, but Mr. Hudson said that
on aBking Mr. Ellis in regard to the
matter, the latter had declared that
he had never received the .paper. As
far as was brought out by the testi
mony, no one but Rawllngs and Mrs.
Bailey had ever seen the check.
An extract from a letter written
to the bank by Rawllngs asking the
return of the $500 note, read, "That
mvsterious Mrs. Rawllngs wants to
settle, . Trying to get money. Lots
of trouble."
Dr. R. L. Edwards testified to hav
ing examined Rawllngs, finding ab
rasions and bruises on the hands,
torearms, and shins, which patient
claimed were caused by the ropes
with which ha was bound. The wit
ness was unable to tell the cause of
the injuries, nor the time at which
they were inflicted, although he de
clared they were recent.
