his business matters and they talked
about a marriage settlement. He said
he told her that she was to take the
place of his former wife, be a mother to
his children and was to take her place
as to the interest in his property. He
agreed to give her $50 month for pin
money. He was prosperous then and
could afford it. Three or four days be-

to deed her part of his property.
He said at once that he would
do nothing of the kind, but would give
ner the same rights that his first wife
would have had in case she had lived,
which was One-third of his property in

about the testimony of his wife as to acts

were mentioned he hesitated more,
and after having the questions repeated
generally denied them. He said he
never struck her and called her some
of the names she charged him with
The incident mentioned about being
Knocked out of the rocking chair he
said was false, but said he had struck
the chair i'll passing, but not with
malice. Mrs. Warner sprang up and
the baby rolled to the floor. He picked
it up and held it under one arm while
