DoCTOR's BACv.
The trial Of the snIt in which Miss Minnie Terry
seeks 10000 damages from Mrs Mary Ann Perine for
lbel proceeded in the Supreme Court before Justice
Lawrence and Jury yesterday, 10 the presence of
tbrong of spectator. among whom were many NOM
bcrs of the society of Srrituats to which the parties
belong. Tbs examination Of Mrs. Perinc was con-
tnued. She gravely related that a clarvoyant named
Martin while in trance Miss Terry trying to win
the affections of her husband. Acting upon the be-
lief that this true she had written the letter
claimed to be beous, to Mr.. Carroll the president Of
the church society, personally. She did not intend
that shoud be published She prayed to the spirits
TO remove Miss Terry from her path and she believed
that It was in TO this prayer that Miss Tory
at once left her house without speaking to her Tho
people at tho Home called Miss Terry the doctors

O-what did Mrs stryher the medium tell you in
her communication from your daughter Eval Al
Eva told me about a letter from Miss Terry to the
DocOr l.-
The witness said that Mollie, from whom she had
received warnings concerning her husband and Miss
Terry, was one of Mrs strykers regular controls
and that John Morriss spirit was another shc
stated that her husband bad given Miss Terry magnetic
treatment
Odd he magnetic herr A.-Hc did, under tho
direction of so-callcd spirits She requested 1t and
was willing TO have It DONE
Mrs. Perine said that when the Doctor was going
away, Miss Terry would have the last kiss before he
and would have the first kiss when he returned.
The witness could not help 1t. She was simple
nonentity in her own house. Mrs. H. T. wilson
testified that she a physician and that she had
attended Dr. and Mrs Pernc in pr fes iona capacity.
She told by Miss TORY that she loved the Doctor
The witness thought that she insane.
Eliza A. Wells. who had been boarder at I" the
Home" said she had the Doctor carry Miss Terry
down stairs on his back She had her arms around
his neck she lay at full longth his back At that
time the witness heard Miss Terry tell the Doctor that
she loved him. She did not hear tho reply. The
case was adjourned until this morning
