TALKED OVER DIVORCE
SAYS HE DISCUSSED
SEPARATION WITH WIFE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OMAHA. Neb. March 1-Charles c. Bas-
sett resumed the stand this morning in his
fight for his children, and started straight
way to tell about a declaration of his wife's
that she would marry Dr.. E. Lawrence
Hunt when she was free.
She told me that Hunt was at least a
gentleman said Bassett, while re looked
Hunt directly in the eye.
The minister defiantly returned the
glance, while the court room crowd tit
tered. Mrs. Bassett was not present. She
Is indisposed today. Bassett had to endure
the ordeal of cross-examination at the
hands of Attorney ]. H. Vandusen Of coun-
sci for his wife. He did not like the ex-
perience, but fdgeted about in his chair
and tried to evaoe answers to many ques-
tions.
Made Hunt Smile.
Hunt smiled when Bassett was forced to
make admissions against his wife, The
principal fact brought out during the morn
ing was Bassett's affirmation that his wife
had declared she would marry the minister
as soon as her husband could be divorced.
Bassett said he was not disturbed at the
news and finally admitted that he had met
his wife at Atlantic City after the separa-
ton and tentatively discussed divorce pro-
ceedings with her.
Bassett also told how he had intended
at that time to kidnap Chester, his eldest
son. Several letters were read, showing
that the unhappiness of the Bassetts be-
gan before 1850. when DR.. Hunt had not
yet made his appearance. The wife re-
preached the husband for his hasty temper,
his looseness of speech, nd once told him
that he had been too generous with whisky
Bassetts examination is about ended; it
Is unlikely that there will be many more
witnesses in the hearing to establish the
fitness of mother or father for the custody
of the children now in the jurisdiction OF
the local court.
