Mitchell aa her abductor. She also Identified a dress which, wu found In. the well u the one that her abductor wore when disguised sa a negro. She said that she had seen Mrs. Mitchell wear the same dress. Her statement dealt very largely with the plans of the abductor, of the tele gram which she received from Moul trie alleged to be from her brother- in-law and the note which, was later brought by the disguised person tell ing of the runaway scrape ud of her brother-in-law's Injury and .summon ing her to him.

The case la attracting attention throughout this section. A citizen expressed the feeling of many people today when he aald: “If you know Mltchdlyou do not believe he la guilty. If you hear the evidence you believe be Is, and there you are.” The state, It Is said, will introduce forty or fifty witnesses, while the de fense has many others to hear- from.
