began as follows:

Sunday Col. Marley and myself were at
Westlake Park in Col. Marley's buggy,
listening to the music. Our attention was
called to three women, and they spoke
to u.s."
| At this point Davis arose and made a
| lengthy objection to the introduction Of the
| testimony as to where he had met Miss
Setter, and of the events which followed
at the park. The objection caused con-
siderable legal sparring between District
Attorney Chambers and Davis, and finally
the objection was overruled.
johnson went on with his story. I'VE

buggy and Col. Marley and drove off,"
| The next time johnson met Miss Seller
was In his office. Col. Marley. in COM

and during the course of remarks asked
him to call. The following Friday johnson

Horace Bell. Johnson knew them both and,
perfectly satisfied, they took the car and
went home.
He next saw her in his office, dressed in
gorgeous manner and with jewels abund-
ant. He did not wish to see her, and as
Col. Marley was present and just about
