THE BOTH WELL CASE-
One of the most dastardly criminal
cases the writer has heard for some
time was called Thursday morning at
the present term of-the district court
now in session in Valentine. The
state vsJohn A. Both well charged *
with.criminal assault upon his daught
er Mabel the 25th of last May ; a girl ot-
17 ; The mother had died and left'six
small children , seven 3ears ago. ' Ther
Bothwell * family liave lived for 'some
years about six miles south west , of
Pullman , Cherrv 'County and where he
Bothwell the defendant in this action-
had six quarter sections of land and ?
some 250 head of cattle and was com- :
rjaratively a well to do farmer engaged
in raising cornhogs , -and cattle.
The Bothwell home , judging from'
the evidence in the Case wa , fiir ! from *
being a happy one' John being a very
illnatured fellow of high teniperment ,
and a strong desire 'for th'e gtass which
inebriates and as a ' consequence the
Bothwell home was the scene ofmore *
than one disgraceful inhuman row.
The children as well as the mother hav
ing been subject to many brutal beat
ings evidently with little cause or rea
son. Some s'even years-ago the moth
er died and was laid at rest , howoc
with what ceremony we know not , but
that she bad-performed more than her'
duties in this life we feel assured.
From that time n Mabel i be eldest
daughter was the established head of
the household and , the children three
b9ys and two girls , all younger than
herself had done nearly all of the work
on and about the farm. Things about
the place went on as usual with a reg
ular weekly thrashing of all the child
ren and occaSionaly one in between up
nntil th.e middlo of July 1900 which4s
th'e date of our story that we will en
deavor to sbow was the beginning of a
series of attempts made by said Both-
Well upon his daugnter Mabel to com-
pi.1 her to submit to his desires and
passions. The crime which was act
ually committed on May 25th , 1001
and from which date the said Bothwell
has been held a prisoner , is one "which
oiost.strongly appeals to the moral se"n-
ses'of American manhood , that such
crimes are committed in this free inde
pendent and proud America seein al
most beyond belief , that a man clothed
in his right mind could stoop so./low
and Joose his sense of reason and mor
ality'as to 'use persuasion , bribes of
money , jewelry and finally physical
force to gratify his savage desires 'upon
f
tlie1' person of his own daughter his
blood and kin and using all efforts "at
his command tomake her beleive that
in 'gratifying his wishes she ( an unedu
cated child ) would only be doing what
.yvas right and that w.hich other people
Hjd.Ve will follow"closely the progress
of the trial and the result that the read
er may better understand the datails
of the case.
Thursday forenoonyas occupied jn
empanelling a jury. Hamar & liaruai
associated with Ed Clark as cohnsel foi
defense and A. M. Morrissey as prose
cuting attorney. Mabel Bothwell ,
small for , her age , and rather a preity
girl with dark hair and a fair childish
complexion , the victim of the crime ,
.was th'e first witness swora. She testi
fied that she was the eldest daughter
of the defendant and had for the last
seven years acted as the head of the
Bothwell household. That she had ,
.assisted by her two brothers and tnree
sisters , done all of the work around the
house and on the farm of the defend-
: -JoQuestionedby the state , the witness
,8'tated , that on or about. July 25 , 1900 ,
the father" had attempted a criminal
Dassault on her and"that she had defend-
1d nerself with , the stove poker * and
that she had hit him and cut his fnce ;
.similar pccurences-followed from time
to. time and her brothers and sisters
had leagued together for her protection
and seldom permitted her to be le ft
alone : that her sister Josie and herself
had occupied the same room and that
they ha'd kept * a club with themat
night toguard : .against . , any intrusion
fruui ttu-ir father. " Mabel staged that
she had told her father thai she would
run away if he , persisted in his perse
cutions and that lie had said that he
would 'kill her if sh'e difl and he could
catch her. . Witness stated that it was
not an unusual occurence that they
( the children ) should be horse whipped
repeatedly upon the slightest provocat *
ion and that at one time. they had been
beaten for not husking more than two
wagon loads of corn in one day : that
on May 25 , 1901 , whichwas , Sunday ,
her father had sent twq of the children
to assist in the erection of.a . windmill
and that the other three had been sent
to salt cattle , much against their will
That while they were away her father
had criminally assaulted her and that
upon the return of the children Mabel
had told them and they had all planned
to run away that night but the fatner
had overheaid the plan and had pre
vented it by threats of murder ; that
the following day Mabel had , with the
of-liPi. ' sister Josie
assistance - , planned
her escape which was successful and
that she walked six
miles across country to a neighbor
named Hoj t , that later she was taken
Ib ' the home of J B. Sweene\
where , thatnight , her father had come
in quest of her and she had refused to
2:0 : home and that Mr. Sweeney and T.
VV. Murphy , a brother-in-law'had per
suaded him , the defendant , to stay
there and the sheriff , was summoned
from Valentine. After cross exainin-
ition of the witness by counsel for de -
"ense her sister Josie , sixteen years of
ige , was called and verified the state-
nents made by Mabel and adding that
at-rjather was and had alwaysbeen a
jabitual drunkard , that he had at diff
erent intervals been on a protracted
jpiee lasting from ten days to three
ivef'ks. '
George , rather a bright boy of fifteen
yas the next witness and testified as
lad his sisters adding in substance that
Sunday had never been observed as a
lay of rest ; that the children had labor-
id on that day the same as on other
lays. 'That on one occasion his father
md stuck a pitch fork in his breast for
i trivial cause , also that on another oc
: asjon he had worn out a buggy whip
> n him which had left scars on hisbody
or two years. Asked by counsel for
lefense what good act he had known
lis father to perform he stated that he
iould remember of only one at which
ime his father had bought him a new
mife and a nickle's worth of candy
ui cher that his father was very good
vhen s angers were nround but that
ds life had been threatened a number
if times.
T.W. _ Murphy was the next witness
ailed and stated that Hattie Bothwell
lad made her home in his family since
une 1000 and they believed her to be
hirteen years of age ; that Mabel and
fosie. accompanied by their father had
i.een at his librae on tha afternoon of
he alleged crime and that after their
leuarture he had learned from his wife
f the assault and on the following day
ccompanied by his brother-in-law and
lattie they had driven to the Bothwell
ome on the pretense of looking at his
horoughbred cattle an th t they had
learranged that Hattie should inter
iew her sister regarding the assault.
