Goodbye"

consulted him in regard to two life in

remembered that he threw off his
overcoat as the room was quite warm.
He did not notice that he was perspir-
ing any.

Cross-examined by Mr.. Nye: did

your house that night?''
''I did not understand as to that, but
I am satisfied from the conversation
that there was no intention of my
daughter going to the theater until he

preparing for the theater after he
cameo"
Yes

examination, and the objection was
sustained.
