"Here is a piece of lace taken from Miss Gingles' room. Did you ever see that before?" asked Mr. Short. "Yes--I made it. That's my own make." "What did you do with the original piece of lace?" "I sent it to Miss Barrett at French Lick, Indiana, last summer." "Do you know how Ella Gingles came to have this lace?" "No." "You didn't give it to her?" "No. I gave it to Miss Barrett." Witness then told of having seen Ella Gingles go to Miss Barrett's room in the Wellington hotel early last January. "Miss Barrett sent me up to her room and I saw Miss Gingles waiting for somebody. Then a bellboy gave Ella Gingles Miss Barrett's pass-key and we both went into the room." Witness did not know how Miss Gingles came to demand the pass-key of Miss Barrett's room, but was sure she went into the room when Miss Barrett was absent. Miss Margaret Donahue was then called. She is secretary of the Wellington Hotel Company. "Was any of your property found in Miss Gingles' room?" asked Mr. Short. "Yes." "Is this the property you refer to?" and Mr. Short waved before the jury a pair of long, black, silk stockings. "Yes--those are mine." Mr. O'Donnell looked at Miss Gingles--the latter turned pink and the jury gingerly examined the expansive hosiery that was passed over the railing. The strongest part of Mrs. Linderman's testimony came when she told of having gone to the Wellington hotel February 17, the morning after the bathroom episode. She found Miss Gingles delirious, in bed under the care of a physician. Attorney Patrick H. O'Donnell and several policemen were there, the witness declared. "Tell the condition of Ella Gingles," commanded Attorney O'Donnell. "She was crazy, crazy, crazy," declared Mrs. Linderman. "What did she do?" "She lay on the bed and screamed at the top of her voice." "What did she scream?" "She kept repeating, 'Oh, Miss Barrett! Don't let that devil-man in here again! Don't let him kill me, Miss Barrett! Save me, Miss Barrett.'" Mrs. Linderman also told of how Ella Gingles, on the night of January 4, following the first alleged attack in the room of Miss Barrett at the Wellington hotel, had come home in a disheveled, hysterical condition. "She told me that a terrible thing had happened to her and accused Miss Barrett. But she was afraid to tell me because she said that Miss Barrett had threatened to kill her if she told," said Mrs. Linderman. Just before Mrs. Linderman, the mother, took the stand Tecla, her thirteen-year-old daughter, preceded her. She swore positively that the necklace which Miss Agnes Barrett accuses Ella Gingles of stealing was a substitute. She wore a school girl's dress of white muslin, with an over-yoke of lace. Her hair was combed back from her forehead and tied at the back with a white silk ribbon. The little girl was somewhat confused and held up her wrong hand when taking the oath. Her testimony follows: "Do you know Ella Gingles?" "Yes, sir." "Did she ever live at your house?"
