She said she was sleeping with her window open on Saturday night and about eleven o'clock heard two men going in the gang- Wfkv. One man was getting along alright with “a firm stcadv stop" and in her opinion not drinking while she thought the other was. She only heard the footsteps and did not see the men. They were laughing and joking as they pass- ed. She testified that she recog- nized thc voice of Jeremiah Dou- cette and after he went in I wait- ed to see whether he was drink- ing."‘I heard his voice and his wifes voice and they were talking loud but I did not hear what they were saying." she continued. It was llcl" opinion that Jeremiah Doucette wanted to get olit and hc rushed to the front door which was locked and he scrambled like an intoxicated man and got out. the witness said

Witness claimed he did not stay in the house long. probably any- where from five to fifteen nlin- utes. It seemed to me the other man did not go out with him but probably later, she continued. At 3:30 thcy come back ln the other man's car and I heard them come in the gangwily but did not see them. I supposed they wclit into the kitchen and I hoard l-nld tnlk between him and his wife and came to the conclusion they were trying to persuade him to stay in. Tho next I heard was Jerr- mluli coming out the ganglway and than a woman's voice, his wife's. saving. “Come back here you." Then I heard a screech but stay- cd in bed and did not own raise the curtain. The screams were those of a woman. she added. They were off the premises and appeared to be across the street. Some time later I heard footsteps coming in the ganglvay. A little after that a child of seven. Jere- miah Doucette-Ks little boy. knock- ed on my door and said “mama wants to see you.” He told me his mother was alone when I asked him if there was anyone there. He scllrl his father had gone out. 1 told the little girl to go for her aunt and the children did. she snicl.

Witness said the uoliceme came nlong and added "I did not know there was anyone dead in the tzangway.

Questioned by a juror she said she did not know if Mrs. Jeremiah Doucette was home all that night but "thought she heard her come in about 10:30. before he did."

Hcnrv Gauthier. 19-year-old of Charlottetown. testified that he was on his lyay home about foltr a. m. and cnminc up Fitzroy Street he heard fnotstclas of a girl rull- ning but did not pav much atten- tion to it. He kept on and saw the

n man after her He heard her scream and started to run. When he first heard the footsteps he was coming on the north side of Fitzroy Street between Edward and Cumberland Street. witness said. He was about half way up the block when he heard her scream and he started to run to- wards them. They were running across the street towards Warren's corner on Fitzroy and Weymouth Streets. The man was about four or five yards behind the woman when he first saw tllem. witness said. She was running fairly fast but the man caught ulp to her. I got to the Forum and saw the man coming‘ towards rne. I did not know t e men but saw him before. He ran towards me and said. “You'll get the same thing." but kept running past me with his head turned opposite me. Witness stated that he did not note if the man had his hat or shoe on when he passed. Gauthier then told of going across the street to the place where the woman was lying and of the arrival of Mr. James Harper about the same time. The woman told them that hcr side was sore and the men had hit her. witness continued. She also told them that she lived across the street. When we got to where she lived she wanted to so in by tho gangway. When she went in the gnngway she pointed to Doucette and said. "There he ls, is he dead?" We ma: her into the house.
