in the sensational Tobey-Palmer dam
age suit, in which T. w. Tobey claims
$4,000 from DIR. Palmer for alienation
of his wife's affection, is ON the in
crease.
The courtroom is daily packed with
curious spectators. DR.. Palmer's un-
usual friendship with Mrs. Tobey has
been testified to by number of wit.
nesses, but direct evidence of anything
serious has not been offered.
Several very damaging letters have
been introduced by the prosecution,
and expert witnesses attributed their
authorship to DR.. Palmer. They wera
addressed to Mrs. Tobey and insinuate
that Palmer's wife, although now look
ing healthy might not be in that con-
dition in one year from now. Although
appearing strong, she might gradually
grow weaker and weaker.
The object of the prosecution in in.
Producing the Letters was to show up
Palmer in the light Of desperate GRIM
inal, and it has been successful at
least in making profound sensation.
The inference they gave was that his
knowledge Of drugs gave him the pow
er Of making himself free, and that
his inclination was to do so.
The case was carried over from
Saturday night until Wednesday, when
the arguments will be made.
