was private detective following YOU"
Tell the Judge what did TO the strange

Ii appeared that strange woman opened
the door and Mrs. Terry grabbed her by the
skirts. soaring the woman badly. Il was
such good joke that Mrs. Terry sat on the

she hrsI began to act strangely. Later on
she came to the Office with bundle of wire.
which she said was made of gold, because
1t was more magnetic.
Nv hat else did say or do?'
The witness made no reply.

Mr. Ashe and didn't you persist in telling
me funny stOrieS?"
The witness Gid not deny the allegation.
and then left the stand IN favor of DR.. Win
dele, member OF the commission. He was
convinced that Mrs. Terry should be sent
to an asylum.
When the doctor had left the stand Mrs.
Terry sent for him. She said She would
like TO ask few questions. The doctor was

Don't you think. doctor, that il you were

| asked Mira. Stewart.

| into a euspidor and lost | told you the
cuspldor had since been emptied ana | was
| sorry.
Yes, remember now you did,
MIS-. Jerry seemed TO think, however
that she should have the letter anyhow, and
| ordered Mrs. Stewart to produce it at once.
! Judge Levy came to the rescue and averted
a scene, as Mrs. Terry was becoming ex-
cited. by calling her to the stand, where
she went assisted by the faithful Nanny.
She told the Judge a rambling story about

seemed to feel that Nanny Pleasant had

| Mrs. DIR. w. f. Smith next took the stand
and said she was sure Mrs. Terry was
insane.
''What was your maiden name?" de-
! manded Mrs. Terry.
