The boy then broke down. and cried
bitterly. His mother, who sat next to
him. kissed him, and rawing his head
upon her breast tried to soothe him.
Lawyer Thomas, for the complainant.
objected to this class OF questioning.
The counsel for the defense said they
proposed to show that an one occasion
the mother was so intoxicated that she
fell on the child's bed and that Lulu
had to take the little one to another
part OF the house for protection.
The Judge sustained the objection, and
held that he would not allow the
woman's character to be attacked.
Mrs. Fellows herself then took the
stand.
She said that she is n daughter of the
late Homer Morgan and niece OF the
late Henry T Morgan. Both of them
and her husband left her an estate, and
she was appointed guardian Of the chill
dren.
She was asked II she had ever re.

that she had only done so when the
Goodwins came Ia to annoy her. on
which occasions she had gone to a hotel
and remained until breakfast Of the fol
lowing morning.
