New York, Jan 24-When the tria
 of the action brought by Joseph w

 others, was resumed before Justice

 Mrs. Mary T. Pullar, wife of the plain tiff, was placed on the stand. Mrs
 Pullar testified that she was married

 "Yes, I heard that she had been mar ried to MT. Pullar after our separation I thought that may be she did not know that he was already married and called at her house."
 Mrs. Pullar said she had heard of Mrs Goodwin's death in 1896. She tes- tified that James Farrell had called on her in April, 1897, and asked her if she knew that her husband had been mar ried to another woman.
