She further says that after drinking the medicine or drug, as above
stated, she became sick, and that Agnes Barrett then asked the man if
he had any knockout drops.
The man replied that he had not.
Agnes Barrett then said she had some, and went out of the room and
shortly afterward came back with what appeared to be candy. They then
made affiant drink more of the aforesaid wine and then told affiant
to eat some of the supposed candy in order to get the taste out of
affiant's mouth, and that she did so.
Affiant says the supposed candy was sweet and was hard on the outside
and soft on the inside, and was of a greenish color.
She says that after this she could not keep her eyes open and could not
remember anything more, but that they were still in the bathroom, and
when affiant awakened she was on the bathroom floor.
(Here the affidavit recites the revolting details, unprintable in
nature, which occurred in the bathroom on the fifth floor of the
Wellington hotel.)
The affiant says that when she awakened she was not yet tied, and that
the man had his coat off and his face uncovered. Agnes Barrett was
standing in the room. The affiant says that Madame Barette cut her on
the arms and wrists several times. She says she struggled and that the
other woman then asked the said Agnes Barrett why she did not tie the
affiant's hands, to which she replied that she did not have anything
there to tie them with, but that she then got the key to her room from
the other woman and went out, and returned with cords, etc., and that
the other woman then held the affiant's hands while Agnes Barrett
tied them behind the affiant's head, and tied them to the legs of
the bathtub, and that the man then tied the affiant's leg, which the
aforesaid Agnes Barrett held until he tied. She says that Agnes Barrett
then said that she had not got enough cords with her, but she had a
piece of black cloth or stocking, or something black, with which she
tied affiant's leg, and also tied her ankle with some sort of a cord.
She says that her left leg was left untied and that her mouth was also
tied. The affiant then says that the man and Agnes Barrett then both
attacked her.
She says that the strange woman held her shoulders to the floor and
Agnes Barrett held the leg that was loose while the man took the knife
and cut her several times. She says she did not bleed freely and Agnes
Barrett then ordered the man to cut her on the other side. The man then
assaulted her. He said he cut her to arouse his passions.
She says they were in the room for some time after that and that the
man then told Agnes Barrett to go for his overcoat, and she said for
him to come back at five o'clock.
Affiant further says that the said Agnes Barrett, alias Madame Barette,
then asked the man to come to her room and stay the remainder of the
night, but he said no, that he had somebody to see before he left the
city.
