bad my husband there to buill-
doze me, claiming that I had told
him that; had never told him any-
thing of the kind; told them right
there in Mr. Dorsey’s office that
it was a lie; they carried me
down to the station house in the
patrol wagon, They came to me
for another statement about half-
past 11 or 12 o'clock that night
and made me sign something be-
fore they turned me loose, but it
wasn’t true. I signed it to get
out of jail, because they eaid they
would not let me ont. It was
all written ont for me before
they made me sign it,

was there and told me that I had

it; wept and eried and atuek to
it. That man there (Mr. Camp-
