Mrs. Haskins told about Attorney
" heeler's enthusiasm over the discovery
of the pencil and ink wills. He told her
that he was going to call her to the
witness stand in the probate proceedings,
and cautioned her not to volunteer any
statements, but to simply answer his
questions He was particularly anxious
that the ink will should not be mentioned,
as he said that the pencil document was
good enough.
The witness said she explained to MT.
Wheeler that she reinem bered the date of
the writing Of the wills because she paid
her dressmaker on that day and received
a receipt. She gave the receipt TO the
lawyer.
NV hat became ofit?" asked Mr.. Delmas.
well, | thought he would be gentle
man enough TO return it to me, but he
never did"
Counsel for the plaintiffs objected strenu-
ousy to the bringing out of evidence re-
garding the relations between Senator
Fair and Mrs. Craven, but were not sue
cessful in blocking the way. Mrs. Has
kins said the Senator always spoke en-
d"aringly TO the defendant, called her
IN ettie," and they invariably Rugged and
kissed when he called.
Mrs. Haskins took occasion here to cor
rect her testimony in regard to what had
taken place when Senator Fair handed
Mrs. Craven the deeds. She had previ-
ously said that she did not remem Der
whether or not Mrs. Craven said anything
at that time, but she now recollected that
the lady called the Senator'S attention to

that he would attend to that"
This ended the direct examination and
the witness was surrendered to Mr..
Wheeler for cross-questlonlng.
Mrs. Haskins was first directed to tes-
thy in de tail regarding her acquain lance
with Senator Fair. She said she thought
she first met him in 1862. After that she
came in contact with MIN many times
most at Mrs. Craven's house. The las.
time she saw him was on Montgomery
street, shortly before his death. The wit
ness was with Mrs. Craven at the time.
The Senator saw them and beckoned Tor
Mrs. Craven to come across the street.
The lady did not do so, because she mad
some business to attend to.
Mr.. Wheeler wanted to know II when
the Senator beckoned the witness did not
say to Mrs. Craven, ''Oh. he's footing you"
An objection was raised to this, and Mr..
McEnerney came to Mr. Wheelers assist
ance with an argument in favor of the
question. He maintained that the re.
Spouse might show that the Senator, by
:.foolIng," did not enjoy endearing rela-
tions with Mrs. Craven.
Mr.. Delmas didn't see it that way. He
thought be rene m bered song, essentially
love song, which had these lines in it:
Trust her not
She's only foOling.
The court ruled that the question might
be asked, and Mrs. HaskIns said she be-
lieyed she did say something like that,
but did not recollect it distinctly.
Here an adjournment was taken until
to-day.
