day she departed, the witness going to
the ferry to say good-by to her.
Mrs. Dena Rasmussen, who was en-
ployed by Miss Dolbeer for household
work, testified that at no time was
there any sign of melancholia in the
testatriX. The witness said her en-
ployer was Of very even temper. never

the bright side of life Miss Dolbeer
went out a great deal, finding keen en-
joyment in social diversions She en-
tered into gayety so much that the
course of rest cure" was necessary
before starting on the trip to Europe.

no question as to the sanity of Miss
Dolbeer.
The deposition of Miss Ethel Hager,
taken before che left for the East a few
weeks ago. was read to the jury. She

and her father in 1902, and on one oc-
casion the testatrix told the witness
that Miss Warren had been brother,
sister and mother" to her.
Il regard Miss Warren as my nearest
Of kin and feel most fortunate in hav-
ing her with me as a companion" was
one of Miss Dolbeer's declarations.
Miss Hager told of several social af-
fairs Miss Dolbeer attended and of
other occasions they were together.

here. came the stern command from
the bench.
The court has bailif at beck and
nod, and no one understands better
than the Judge himself how TO pro-
vide the best ventilation for the great
est number. Fresh air for some may
mean deathly colds for others. and
the Judge regulates windows and
doors accordingly.
The testimony Of the day was chiefly
that Of intimate friends Of Bertha Dol
beer, who all agreed that she never dis
played a single indication of insanity.
The witnesses were principally men
who had met her in society.
The cross-examination Of Mrs. Lolita
Selfridge was finished with a few
questions Immediately after court con-
vened in the morning.
Benjamin M Joseph, manager of the
art department of the White House,
had known Miss Dolbeer, he testified,
as a patron at the store for many
years. The witness said she used keen
business judgment in trading at the
store. He met her in Paris later, see
ing her in a carriage with Miss Mary
JDSSclNn at the lclc VI tic DdlNlC VI
flowers" He merely spoke to her as
she passed. and she appeared to be per-
fectly rational
WALTER s. MARTIN TESTIFIES.
Walter S. Martin testified that he first
met Miss Dolbeer in March, 1899, being
introduced to her by his brother, Peter
Martin. The witness came in contact
with her frequently after that at social
gatherings. The last time he saw her
was on April 4 Of the present year,
when he conversed with her In the CO.
lumbia Theater about renting her house
while she was away.
She was perfectly rational and q
conservative character" was the opin-
ion Of the witness.
Milton s. Latham was the next wit
ness. He said he knew Bertha Dolbeer
well and frequently visited her home.
Previous 10 the death Of her father the
witness called on her several times
every week. but after that but once or
twice a month. He saw the testatrix a
number Of times just before her de-
parture last April for Europe, and was
at the ferry with the party that was
there to bid her good-by There was
then nothing strange or unusual in her
manner, he said, nor any indication
whatever Of meIaneholia-
John ZeiIe had also participated in
numerous social diversions that Miss
Dolbeer attended. He described auto
mobile trips and drives they had taken
together An intimate acquaintance
ship was shown, and when asked his
opinion the witness said that Miss Dol
beer was undoubtedly rational and Of
sound mind Zeile described a dinner
party given by the testatrix short
time before she started for Europe. and
she was very cheerful that evening. She
