to get possession of rents of my place here,
to attend to that business, at Mr.. Nalensin's
and his fathers instigation. A few months
before we came here, Mr.. Valensin was
continually asking what became of my
rents and questioning me about my prop

it, which was very little. believe he told
his father about it, and his father tried to
talk to me upon the subject, and l abso-
| lutely refused to have any conversation
with his father about it. At that time he
told me that | ought to come to America
and see about the money, and it was not
right that it should be left here. Well,
knew nothing, except | knew that had a
deed, and knew that | had property here
because my father had told me that had

HAD EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD
/ That could possibly want or that money
could buy, and it was of very little conse-
quence to me. But Mr.. Valersin insisted
upon coming here. He said the way he
wished to live his income, or the allow

mine. AT the same time he told me that
must give it up to him; that he would
have it, and if did not do it that in my
name be would bring suit against my
father for ii; so we came TO America, arriv-
ing here in August or September There
were good many scenes in San Francisco
with my father and Mr.. Valensin about
this money. My father did not wish to
give it to me, because he said that Mr. Va
lensin was squandering money; that he
knew that since he was married he was in

And that he was afraid that his daughter 5

and Mr.. Valensin took it, One
day after a stormy interview before
Judge MesiIk, Nalensin said that Catlin

out of the house and Mr. Valensin followed
Us and said ;" 1t is not that [ want Pho, but
that is the way l will have of compelling
you to DO as | want you to, for have not
felt much affection for either you or Pho.
Money is what | want, and
MONEY 1 WILL HAVE.

Youare not capable ofbringing him up"
said, ''Who has brought him up so far? He
replied, Unfortunately, you have" have
brought up my child to be an honor to any
family, to any father or mother, and there
is not a child in this community more
loved, more respected that is thought more
of than my child and said, g You wretch
you dare tell me l cannot take care of my
child
At this point Mrs Valensin fell over in
fainting fit, exclaiming, "Oh my, my child,
my Pio!' Several ladies who were in at

Court took a recess for half an hour.
On the cross-examination, which occu-
| pied the balance of the day, no new points
were elected
Court adjourned to 10 A. NJ. to-day.
