In the Love case yesterday, Mrs. Roe

introduced by plaintiff, wherein 1t was
shown that Love intended to Will his
property at his death, one-fourth each
to his children and nephew, and one
fourth 10 Mrs. Roe. Witness also stat
ed that Love had offered to give her a
piece of land, which she had refused
10 take. She had lent money to Love
and went to see him about 1t. His wife,
or rather the native woman to whom
he now claims he was never married,
became uncomfortable during such Wis
its, which witness said she then ceased
to make.

rather stout and we'll built woman,
there was a large turkey in the yard
that 1 didn't like the looks Of"

10 give the Harris all he could spare
from the other relatives, as they were
his children, even if he hadn't been
married to their mother. Witness tes-
tilted that she. received 81 week from
Mr. Magoon for taking care OF plain
