In many particulars the divorce suit OF

ord.

correctly. Mrs. Walker declares that on the
morning Of January Is OF the present year

Douglas street home and emptied a large
gasoline can into the bath tub. His mex
movement was to apply match The fire
that resulted not only severely frightened

DRAMATIC SCENES IN COURT
Second Day Of the Merscheim- Arriens Dam
age Suit Before Judge slabaugh.
MRS. MERSCHeIM ON THE WITNESS STAND
Woman in Case Enters Into Details as
to Her Alleged Relations with
Defendant Arriens-SOme In
tcresting Testimony.

Carl Merscheim's $4,000 damage suit
against August Arriens, on trial for the sec
ond time in Judge Slabaughs division of the
district court, was replete with dramatic
features yesterday.
The principal witness was Mrs Mer-
scheim, whose affections, 1t is alleged, were
alienated from Merschelm by Arriens. Mrs.
Merscheim was nervous. At times she
seemed to border upon hysteria. She spoke
In broken English, strongly accented with
German, and 1t was with great difficulty that
the court reporter recorded the testimony.
Judge Slabaugh, in order TO more distinctly
understand the testimony, left his seat be-
hind the bench and sat closer to the wit
ness stand. Mrs. MerscheIm frequently
sobbed so conyulsively that she was called
upon to repeat her statements.
She began with the time she first became
acquainted with Arriens in lodge to which
she belonged and told a story of intrigue
covering several months. She told of going
with Arriens into his mill OF nights, she
told Of his clandestine visits to ner home
and how on such occasions he would send
the children out to buy candy, and she re-
lated in minute detail the various escapades
which are alleged to have occurred.
Mrs. Merscheim is not an attractive
woman. She is nicely dressed however and
appears to be OF retiring disposition She
explained that Arriens made great protesta-
tions OF love for her and once when he asked
her II she loved him, she says she replied
that she thought she did.
While this sensational story was falling
from the lips of the witness Arriens sat
within the railing as calmly as though he
were not involved, By his side was Mrs.
Arriens She listened eagerly for every
word OF the testimony and the frowns that
settled over her face showed that she did
not believe the allegations against her hus-
band.
Mrs Merscheim was subjected to rigorous
cross examination and IL was at the close OF
tho day when she was excused from the wit
ness stand. The attorneys questioned her
closely as TO all the incidents she had men
toned in direct examination, and although
extremely nervous she maintained herself
with more composure than she did earlier
in the day Her testimony throughout was
favorable to the case of her husband
Outside Of the court room Selma, the l6-
yearold daughter of Plaintiff Merscheim
nervously paced the corridor Her eyes were
red from weeping.
Arriens was placed on the stand, but he
did not testify. He was there at the in
stance Of Merscheim's attorneys, and the
attorneys for the other side entered vigorous
objections to every question asked. Judge
Slabaugh sustained the objections.
Arriens' attorneys are not inclined TO at
tach much significance TO the attitude of
Mrs. Merscheim. They are proceeding on
the theory that conspiracy exists between
Merscheim and his wife to obtain whatever
money they can from the defendant. This
specific charge is made in Arriens' answer
on file In the district court.
