Mr. LEWIS then proceeded to deliver the opening of the defense which occupied more than an hour. He traced the career of the defendant from his birth. He was born in Freeport, Ill., in 1852. He moved early in life to Danville, Mo., where he married his wife. Their only child, a daughter, dwarfed in stature and of feeble mind was born there. He has a brother in an insane asylum. He came to Whatcom about four years ago and bought the property upon which he made his home, of Hugh ELDRIDGE. ... On the night of January 1, 1891, he went with his family to the Salvation Army meeting. A young man of serpent-like eyes, reddish hair and a dare-devil demeanor sat behind them. It was Norman HUMES. He became intimate with the family and seduced the weak-minded daughter. LONG came to distrust him and learned that his wife had become infatuated with him. ... The mother was anxious that HUMES should become the husband of her daughter. The father objected ... One night he was taken deathly sick. An examination of the loaf of bread of which he had eaten showed that it had been poisoned with strychnine. Last November his wife left him and went to HUMES house in Sehome. ...
