THE CASE Is NOT NEARLY CONCLUDED
uhole building,


case was continued yesterday, before Judges
Kennedy and Porter. All the parties in
terested were present, and the courtroom
was crowded.
Mr. Sullivan, attorney for Mr.. Love,
stated that his testimony was finished. At
torney Richardson, for Mrs. Love, then
called "Del' Stevens, the correspondent in
the divorce proceedings, to- the stand.
Stevens is about 25 years of age, smooth
faced, and rather heavy set. In response to
questions from Mr.. Richardson he
said he had been in the employ
of Love. He first met Mrs. Love in
company with her husband, at his
own home, where Mr.. and Mrs. Love Wis
tied. He has known them both about seven
years. His relations with them were merely
friend1y-never cordial MIR. Love knew
of all the intimacy there was. He denied
that he had been with Mrs. Love as late as
10 o'clock at night within three months.
He was frequently sent to the house by Mr..
Love himself. As to the nickname,
''Sweety," Mr.. Love called him by it as
much as anyone else. The nickname was
not confined to him alone. He called Mr..
Love "Sweety" as often as he was called
"Sweety." As to visiting Mrs. Love in
her bedroom, the family often sat there and
Mr. Love always knew Of his presence.
pENIALs OF THE KISSES.
He never kissed Mrs. Love as she sat in a
rocking chair, nor did she kiss him. He
had gotten beer and whisky for Mrs. Love at
Mr.. Loves order. He had often seen Love
drinking. He never saw anything to lead
him to believe that Mrs. Love was not
good woman.
On ncross-examination Mr.. Sullivan wanted
to know the occasions when he was called
s'Sweety." Stevens could not remember.
Mr.. Sullivan-Well, when it happened
did you wear that pompadour on your head
that you wear now?
care you trying to guy me2" queried
Stevens, with an angry look.
Mr.. Sullivan laughed and said: 'I'm ask
ing you questions, and you had better an
swer. I don't know" he added, whether
it's pompadour or pompoon, or what you
call il"
The cross-examination continued, and
Stevens denied having very great fond
ness for Mrs. Love. He was in bath room
with her once, but the door was open. Mrs.
Love always treated him with courtesy, and
in an honorable manner. Mr.. Love had dis
charged him about three months ago with
out giving him reason, telling him that it
was about time they dissolved partnership.
PROTEST oB A LAWYER.
When Stevens left the stand he walked
past Mr.. Sullivan. The latter turned when
be had passed and said to Stevens: "What
do YOU mean by that remark that you'll not
be kidded by me? Come back here"
"Oh, never mind" said Judge Kennedy,
as Stevens turned about.
"T'm an attorney at this BAR" exclaimed
Mr.. Sullivan.
"Never mind, never mind" said the |
Court, and Stevens retired.
Miss Sadie and Miss Mary Mcintyre |
we're called in turn, and said they had never |
seen Mrs. Love drunk. She had drank |
beer on occasions, but was never intoxi-
,ated.
Mrs. Westwood testified to Mrs. Love
having left two of her children with her
when she had to 60 to the city to engage
servants. She never saw Mrs. Love other
han kind to the children.
Mrs. Nellie Joyce, who lived with the
Loves two years ago testified to Mrs. Love
,eing kind mother and Mr. Love good
ather.
H M. Long, the father of Mrs. Love, was
allied. He testified to Mrs. Love coming
o him on her visit to the city to engage
ervants. It was he who telegraphed in her
lame to Mrs Westwood that she would not
eturn that night. He had done all he
ould, BY good advice, ETC., to keep things
q order between the couple. He had per-
ect confidence in the truth, integrity and
-irtue of Mrs. Love.

Mr. Long-I'm talking to the Court, not

Mr.. Sullivan-You have no business to

Mr.. Long-Im answering question of

Mr.. Longs quiet manner but sarcastic
zpression nettfed Mr. Sullivan, who ex-
