stated that he at the marriage Of plaintiff and his
wife, and that he stood up with the plaintiff meanng sup
pose that he was his groomsmsn. and that took p.ce
In 1871; but when he asked what he had for
knowing in 1921 the only reason he could give was
that had that y years Of age and he

that may I've fairly inferred from this girls testimony
that Mrs. Kremer was in habits of intimacy and on very
