home for them of his own. His own
parents being old and needing care he
did not care TO impose an additional
burden on them. Witness said he had
sent $3.50 to clothe the children in four
years to Miss Schaffer and had given
the children presents. His present resi-
dence was 537 West One Hundred and
Sixty-thirtf street and in a good locality
and he had fine home with a room
for each Of his children. His present
wife was Miss julia Esher. a millinery
designer who lived with her mother.
Mrs. Germann made a good impress
sion during the few moments she was
on the witness stand. She said she knew
of the CHILDREN before her marriage and
had a good home for them. She admitted
she had no experience in bringing up
children. Miss Schaffer was recalled and
said she always considered the children
were TO remain with her.
Col. Arnold ari>Ied that the case be-
fore the court was peculiar one and
while he did not question the principle
that the father was entitled to the GUS

At the beginning of the act a beautiful

back apparently about four miles until it
is lost in the distance, such as is usual in
the great war panoramas of Gettysburg,

locomotive is the most intricate and cost

Carter, who has always hoasted that be
