BUFFALO, Dec. s.-When George H. Van Week
was called as a witness in his own defence to-
day in the suit for divorce brought by his wife
the court room was crowded with people eager
to hear his version of their domestic unhappi-
ness. During the direct examination he was
asked about his dead daughter, Mrs. Caleb
Coatsworth. At the mention of her name Mr..
Van Week broke down and cried for several
minutes. He has not conversed with his wife
Bince the death of this daughter. He admitted
that on one occasion he slapped his wifo's face,
and that at another time he took her by the
arms and pushed her aside so that he could go
through tho door she was guarding. He de-
claIed that she struck him before he laid q hand
on her. She also threw food at him ut the table.
MI. Van Week was asked by his wife's attor-
ney II he began to have bad habits in 1882. He
admitted that about that time he Joined a club.
where mon met Mt night and played poker. His
wife became t%eal1uso OF = woman whom he met at
achurch social. He could not say whether he was
constantly. associated with this woman for sew
eral years after their meeting. and did not know
that she was not received in decent society. He de-
clared that he never knew Diamond Kate Cowan.
He knew u mar. OF the name of Leonard, whom
he met In the oil country and introduced to his
club friends in Buffalo. When asked II Mrs.
Van Week ever said to him that Leonard. was q
cheat and gambler introduced at the club with
the idea of cheating at cards, he said he did not
remember such conversation.

Henry Jessup, q professional house mover, had
occasion to perch himself on the the limb Of Q
tree near by. In order to make sure that the roof
was not being wrenched. As the house was
dragged past, it pressed with 1t a large limb
pext to the one which Mr.. Jessup occupied. 1t
was q very supple limb with a great amount Of
spring in 1t, and to a man on a fence, or on the
ground. or anywhere. but up that particular
tree, 1t would have been quite evident that
when the house had moved a little further and
the limb was released, 1t would return with con-
siderable speed. Mr.. Jessup neglected to take
account Of this.

release the catapult. When the mon looked up
to ask their boss II all was right they beheld
him making q bee line through the air, and Q
moment later heard him arrive with a loud
thump against the side of n building several
yards away. When they picked him up he was
in no condition to know what had struck him.
Drs. Kritchbaum and Rogers. who are attend
ing him, say that unless his internal injuries
turn out to be more serious than they expect, he
will recover.
