SELLS-ALLEN CASE.
Testimony in an Atchison Trial Grows
Interesting.

Atchison, Feb. 12.-The testimony in
the Sells-Allen case Wednesday was
interesting. Miss Sells was on the wit
ness stand nearly all of Tuesday. She
testified Of repeated promises of mar
riage by Peter Allen during 1901 and
1902; of their maintaining relations Of
man and wife at different times; that
he once became VeXed at her at Bean
lake, and struck and abused her She
said he had told her he was interested
in a department of his fathers store
This was all that was shown along this
line
The young men and women who
came from Kansas City testified that
they knew Miss Sells there, and that
her reputation was good. She has
lived in Kansas City part of the time
during the past two years, and worked
IN a store for a while. Miss Katherine
Lane, employed there at the time, tes-
titled that she knew Miss Sells init
mately, mad gone out with her, and
never heard thing against her.
Miss Lane is sister Of ,. Elijah beth
Lane, Kansas City's woman attorney.
Miss Sells said. while on the witness
stand, that Peter Allen induced her 10
burn all the letters he wrote her. but
that he had saved her letters to him.
When the defense took up its side of the
case, a dozen or more Of Miss Sells let
ters to Allen were read. written from
Kansas City and other places. They
were filed with the most endearing
terms, and some very suggestive SEN
fences. Judge Berry, for the defense.
was before her. asking her to identify
a letter, when one of the iurymen com
manded him, rather gruffiy, to sit down.
Judge Hudson rebuked the juror ask
ing him to make any additional re-
quests through the court. A letter was
read Indicating that Peter Allen was in
Mexico on February 2 It was post
marked at Menico D. F., Mexico and
was addressed to Mrs. Carrie Stone. OF
Atchison. Miss Sells had boarded with
Mrs Stone for a time. and the letter
was with reference to a board bill of SIS.
John Cloyes, formerly Of Atchison, but
now Of Kansas City. testified that the
reputation of the plaintiff among his
acQuaIntances was questionable.
