Plaintiff, and It. l.. Shea, esq, was at

number of witnesses were called. The
answer of the little one seemed con-
vincing proof of the way she has been
treated by Williams.
He was called on to testify. He did
not say much aginst his wife, except
that she was fond of going out nights
to dances and parties. On examina-
tion he said he beat her once and at
another time Wrestled with her
