believed to some extent in the runes
and redes Of superstition, asserted with
all assurance that l would grow up to

me out, and, in order to make his
prophecy good, led me into the pasture.
He produced an anger and bored hole
in a white oak tree. He first measured
my height, and bored the hole exactly
at that distance from the ground. In
this hole he placed curl of my hair,
which he sawed Off with knife. Then
he sealed the hole in the tree by stuffing
the shavings and bark in 1t. Up to that

E. NJ. Watson of the firm of Hum

called as a witness in the Sumner dis
barment matter just before noon this
morning and began his testimony for
the defense. Watson was emphatic in
his statement that the firm had APP
peared for the Ellis interests and not
for John K. Sumner, in the litigation
in which the charge is made that the
firm represented both sides. He also
stated that it was understood when the
settlement was made by which the al
legged trust funds were distributed,
Thompson, in telling him of the action
taken, stated that the understanding
was that the rest of the money was to
remain in trust.
Mrs. w. S. Ellis was the witness be-
fore Watson. She swore that Sumner
had frequently stated to her that the
money was to go to the Ellises. He
had talked of adopting the three Ell
Uses and on one occasion when the old
man thought he was under some sort
OF guardianship, there had been discus
sion as to how he would have to pro-
coed to adopt the grand nephews and
niece. Mrs. Ellis was not questioned as

the attorney general stated that her
