son. and thRt ] 4. Hisuom, the defep-
dant in tho suit. was not his father.
Al his home he had run hot poker
through mis- fathers photograph and
threw into a IRE the portrait Of his
sisters child. while after his return
from the asylum he had pointed q re-
volver at his father in the Howell
House. and since had bounded his
father for share Of the estate.
The Immorality charges.
Mr.. Howard read from an andavlt
made BY Or. Howard Hisspm. and he
belIttled the allegations therein. The
anldavit charged the father with Inn
noralItIes and cruelty to Mrs, Hissom.
The immorallties complained Of were al
legged attempts to seduce domestics EN-
ployed at the Hissom home, and the
charges Of cruelty included beating the
mother once With a poker at time
when the cider Hlssom was a Methodist
preacher on an Ohio circuit and an
other time when he threatened to chop
her head of with u hoe.
Mr.. Howard had reason to believe
that Dr. Hissom once tried to poison
his father With drugged wine. but the
attempt provoked only a serious sick
sspen. The doctor came home from Ger
many believing that his father was
worth 100000. and his ruling passion
had since been to get big slice of 1t.
Mr. Howard alleged that there was "a
speculative combination back of the
present suit. and he concluded his argu-
ments by challenging the plaintiff to
show u motive that lmpelled the father
to lncarcerate his son in an insane asy-
lum and what was the gain to be reaped
by the father. The father could dIsln-
herlt the son now IL he choose by cut
ting him on In his WIN. and Mr.. Howard
said the father would have to sustain
the expenses Of the sons suit II a YER
dict was rendered against the son.
Mr.. w. P. Hubbard spoke for the
plaintiff from 1880 to 8 o'clock, and in
this period covered the ground effec-
lively. In alluding TO the cholIenBe
made by Mr.. Howard to put the doc
tor on the stand, MIR, Hubbard dramat-
ically produced an order of the court
to show that on December Mr.. How
ard had considered DR.. Hlssom IL COM
petent witness and had SO summoned
him, and referring to Mr.. Howard's as
sertion that the doctor was suffering
from deluslong, Mr.. Hubbard remarked
with force tina. Mr.. Howard's argument
was inconsistent, to say the least. Mr..
Hubbard said It would be shown that
the elder Hlssom was worth 100000
according 10 Hissom's declaration, de-
spite limitations to the contrary. Mr..
Hubbard said also that 1t would be
shown that Hissom shielded himself
behind his wife in prosecuting the son.

ing heard ia as follows: Charles j.
