The LathrOp case is approaching the end. It was resumed to-day and It IS expected that another day or two will see the last of it for the present. at all events. probably until next month when the superior court opens for civil business.

Mrs LathrOp supported this testimony.
 A letter from Mir Lathrop to Mrs LathrOp was introduced. which showed up the former in an entirely new light from ally in which he has heretofore shone. It seems he was quite a stu dent or reader of the bible and the Songs of Solomon and the Proverbs were his particular favorites. In the letter referred to he addressed his wlIe by his particular term of endearment Chubby" and told her that during her absence she was not to think that he and the bible were strangers. By no means. He advised her to read chap ter |, verse 13 of the Songs of Solomon, which substantially reads: Like Il bundle of myrrh is my well beloved to me-" He also suggested for her con sideratiOn verse 3, chapter & and of Proverbs chapter 31, tenth verse: "There is no dust Cn the Bible,' he says in the letter. "and if I am not as good as I ought to he. still l am not unmindful of the precious truths in it."
