One time Mrs. Page started to fight with Margaret Young, who was employed in the house at the time, and the latter called for the witness to come to her assistance which she did. Mr. Chamberlain had to be called be- fore anything could be done with the woman. ~After ‘this the doctor was called in and he, gave her some pills, which made her sleepy, but then she tried to jump from the windowsay- ing that she did not want to stay in the house. The witness thought that this strength which Mrs. Pace had shown was due to the fact that she hah dad a great deal of liquor the night bfore. Sometimes the woman would call the witness and say that there was someone in_ her room and then Mrs. Page would throw things about. Seemed Interested in Reading.
