Another large audience heard the con-
tinuation OF the Warner divorce case
yesterday Mr.. Warner was on the
stand nearly all day. He spoke very
delDerately,and frequently volunteered
minute details that showed he had been
fortifying himself for such an event for
years. When asked as tG acts Of VIC
lence he was very careful to have time
and place carefully specified be-
fore answering. When he was turned
over to Mr.. Wellington at D. m fer
croSS-eXaminatiCn he was exceedingly
captCuS about the questions and asked
more questions than did Mr.. Wellington
and was then very reserved about his
answers. Mr. Wellington was very pa
tent in explaining his questions and re.
peatrdly gave Mir. Warner to under
stand that he wanted him to give the
substance Of the differences between
himself and wife. At one time when it
appeared that Mr.. Warner had non
plussed the attorney he looked toward
the part of the court room where his
pastor and Fart OF the flock of Ply
mouth church sat, with a smile that
almost appeared like n wink, and which
seemed 70 indicate his ability to take
care of himself.

getting her $50 a month; and. besides

and she said any amount he thought
best. He asked if $4,000 was enough
and she said no that would not do

but wanted TO live peacefully and
quietly, and have this amount so that
she could conduct the house as she
chose. This was to be in addition to
the $50a month. On Oct. p | drew up
an agreement or statement for Mrs

such demands; she ought to trust her
husband more. That paper was signed
