 way.
 The appellants presentation of the case in the Armstrong will contest was continued in the superior court before Judge Shumway yesterday morning, Miss Elizabeth Armstrong, daughter or Lorenzo Armstrong by his second wife, and the appellant in the case, was on the witness stand for the first time, Her story was to the effect that she had never met her father, and didn't know him by sight until 1885, when she wrote a letter to him. This letter. or copy of it, was produced in court and it was addressed, Dear Father" It stated in substance that it seemed very sad to her that although living less than & mile away, she had never seen her own father, and it requested the pleasure of meeting him.
 The result was that MT. Armstrong did meet his daughter on many occa- sions, and the evidence which Miss Armstrong presented yesterday fore noon indicated that these meetings were affectionate. She said that the first time he met her he offered her $10o, but she did not accept it at that time, as she told him she did not need the mon- ey. On other times when she requested him he gave her money and often pre- sented a check to her when she had not asked for it. On one visit in 1887 h +o1 fhn1 e ac hn ha q penny he would divide with her.
 She also testified that on one occasion when she called on him at his home he said: "They make it unpleasant for me here when you call,
 On another occasion, when her father was very i'll, she wrote to Charles B. Armstrong, son by the first wife, and asked him about her father. She never received a reply.
 Her testimony was aimed to show that there had been strong feeling be- tween father and daughter, and that he would have left her more money by his will than he did ($5,0o0) had it not been for the influence exerted upon him by his other children.
