WI ILLNESSES UP, YESTERDAY-MRa. PALMER EVI-
DENCE CONCERNING THEODORE AND VICTORIA.
The principal witness of the day was Mrs.
Elizabeth Lapierre Palmer lady who formerly
had some business relations with the firm of
woodruff & Claiiin, and who was tolerably inti-
mate in the Woodruff household She seems to
have been a remarkably intelligent witness. She
heard Theodore and Victoria address each other
in the language of love, and certain familiari
ties between them that indicated something more
than common place friendship. She saw the
scandalous publication OF 1872 in the proofs at
the Woodruff office, and knew that Tilton read
it before it appeared in Woodruff X Claiiin's
weekly.
The cross examination did not affect Mrs.
Palmer testimony in the least, but 1t brought
out some singular facts in her personal history
She had given her profession as q landscape
painter in her examination-in-chief Under Mr..
Beach's questioning she admitted that she was
She is gifted with the marvellous faculty of

ton of patients. making use OF her peculiar gifts
in finding out the sources of disease. By aud by
she obtained divorce from her husband and
married Dr. Palmer OH the next day.
Mr. Tracy Zone of Mr.. Beechers counsel
took the stand, but Court adjourned before he
had got beyond the commonplace questions
With which it ia customary to begin the exam-
