siOnal smile. He told OF the visit made

Judge Tate:n asked the witness to re-
peat what WestcOtt had said on that

around and said he would not talk so
before au the ladies. The court told
him 10 was all right and to 90 ahead
with his answer. Well, he said she
was not n a marrageablc condition,
and want fit for any man 80 20 to. p"
tie SAID there was nothing said about
any compensation tor Julas wounded
feelings. Dut that :hcy went to stop the
tories about Julia that WestcOtt had
been circulating. That 50 far as the
