NEW YORK, January 5.-The fair
plaintiff in the 800, 900 breach of promise
suit, of Miss Clara Campbell against
Charles Arbuckle, the wealthy coffee mer-
chant, took the stand this morning. When
eX-Judge Fullerton began TO read more of
the correspondence between her and Mr.
Arbuckle she moved about in a restless
manner. Tears COursed down her cheeks
as her counsel read appeal after appeal,
that she had written t. her lover beseech
ing him to keep his promise, and tie
answers grew colder as the winter OF 1883
and 1884 approached. The defendant was
not present when court opened, but twenty
minutes later he came hustling in, and
took his seat beside his counsel.
There was no sign of recognition between
the principals. Tho court room was
crowded, many ladies, mostly young, be-
ing present. The reading OF the pile OF
letters caused much amusement at first,
but the constant repetition Of hugs and
kisses" and my dear Bunnie" and then
more of "loSe and kisses grew tirssome
at last.
On the redirect examination of Miss
Campbell, she said Mr.. Arbuckle never
told her that anything improper in her life
was the cause of the breaking of the en-
g,gcment. Miss Campbell said further
that she did not remember that Mr.. Ar
buckle had sent her letter, stating that
owing to the condition of his health he
could not marry her or any other woman.
She believed he said be had malaria and
bronchial troubles, but she did not believe
he knew what was the matter with him.
After recess Miss Campbell resumed the
stand She said: Mr.. Arbuckle proposed

She said she consented by saying: 81 will
accept that home" She gave him to un-
derstand that her father was in prosperous
