, Clldwelioccupied his room in his absence

plaintiff, re9ues ed Mr.. J. to occupy tn
small room, and he consented.
That she occupied the new house, unde
/ agreement that gave Ter the title TO it; tina
: she had several times seen Mr.. j. go into tn
house OF the corner Of Sixth and Oak streets
: and knew il 70 be house of bad rePute, al
though she does not remember who told he
SO; that the defendant treated her with in
! difference after the commencement o
the suit, until taking up their residence OF
: POttawatomie street; that she took care o
defendant when sick, and endeavOred to Il
economical, defendant generally praising he

frequently Acknowledged his gnil:, and or
mention of it would reply, "There is nothing
like getting used TO Affairs" that he WI:
"lawyer enough 10 know lust what he could
do" had talked to him about staying on, at
nights, sending girls Of ili-fame TO her to
hire, ana Of letters found in his pockets,
from women, demanding money. She spoke
TO him OF such as Mary Dunning, Miss Brad
lev and o,hers-six or eisht-who were
enough to talk about. OF the girls who
called TO hire, was one who said Mr.. J. called
her Jule for shout. She knew their charac-
ter sufficiently well, from their bearing.
though not remembering their names.
Then followed testimony regarding her
own and defendants health, &C., with light
bearing on the case, and concerning title TO
the drug tore, and payment Of small sums
of money ior board by DIR. Campbell.
Letters were presented witness; did not
know il they were in her handwriting;
whether she could tell if they were in her
hind wiring depended upon who presented
them The inference was that ifpresented
| by deien,;an. she would doub, her own CHR
oyraphy. Such declarations develops an
anime si'y, tina: at the leas: is not calculated
to win sympathy There was imma;erial
testimony concerning defendants getting up

Testimony followed concerning the re-
moval OF furniture, ETC., the gist I'll which
was, Ina. i, was handled roughly; that she
refused on defendants request TO supeIin-
tend it, and secured some silverware and
castor with neighhor; and that said castor
was given 20 her by defendants brOther-in-
law, ard not 10 defendant by his sister. Prior
10 the commencement. of the suit l do not
