rage. This was left with my father,
WIN DR. Buffaloe's consent, to be sold
privately that it might cause no com
ment and the money be used i'm pay
ing my expenses. After this was used

check each week for my expenses. When
Dr.. Buffaloe came to take me home he
borrowed some of this money-all / had
from me-"
You say DR.. Buffaloe would not give

scribed it at the hospital"

Gle was not with me part of the time
OIL the boat and less attentive on the
train. There was another friend along,
though, who was very attentive"
Haven't You forgotten the circum-
stances of that trip?"
II think ! should have been very apt
to have remembered amy little kindness
whatever that he might have shown me.
1T seems to me that having been away
as long as | had and having suffered as
much as | had, he ought to have given
me all the comfort he could, but instead
of that he was with me as little rs posi-
bic and only showed me such attentions
as were absolutely necessary in bringing
me home"
Asked to state specifically the particu
lars in which her husband neglected her,
the witness said:
They Were sins of omission rather
than commission"

who died-practice his profession during
the day and nurse his sick child at

You say your husband complained
when you asked for money that you were
too expensive to him, isn't that a COM
mon thing for a husband to say to a
wife under those circumstances
'For the wifes sake / hope not"
what did he say to your
''He said was expensive, that didn't
help him as other women helped their
husbands, that il was a drawback to
him and that what he wanted with me
was to draw practice, and i wasn't do
ing it,"
Didn't you know that your husband
was having a hard scuffle to get alongY
Il simply know that when he wanted
anything for himself he was always
able to get it, hut whenever / wanted

planned that he had other uses for his
