he asked all the public, including the re-
porters to withdraw from the court room
and what occurred there is Of that intimate
family nature that is fitting should be
known only to those directly conceued.
Mrs. Bassett, when the children were first
brought over, had taken up her station at
the door leading from Judge Redicks office
into the hall which is the only means Of
egress from that Office except through
Judge Redick's court. When the bailin
locked this door. Mrs. Bassett came into
the court room.
| Mr.. Bassett was In a pleasant frame of
mind and smiled Frequently during the
! cross-examination by Mr.. Van Dusen dur
| ing the morning. Mrs Bassett was not
| present until the children were brought
over. The ordeal Of Thursday. when she
faced her husband and heard the contra
diction Of allegations of cruelty. and also
was confronted with the testimony of the
landlord from Little Rock, had had a
serious effect On her nerves.
Wife spurns the Suggestion.
Mr.. Bassett testified that when he sug-
gested to his wife they ask the opinion OF
some of. their friends on the propriety OF
DR.. Hunt giving her expensive presents, she
said that would not do at all.
When asked whether he knew when Mrs.
| Bassett came TO Omaha. Mr.. Bassett said
he did not know. but that he learned she
had left Denver on July 80 1905. for "a
six months state" meaning a state where
only six months residence Is required to
enter suit for divorce.
4 He testified he sent considerable money
to Mrs. Bassett's sister, Mrs. Riddell, in
Denver with which to buy for hs chill
dren whatever they needed. He denied he
had ever asked his wife to return to him
after June 20. the date on which he learned
of the birth OF Lawrence.
| When he found his wife In Atlantic City
L in July, 1906. he said he asked her what
were her plans. He also inquired whether
Mr.. Hunt would marry her II she was d.
vOrced, to which she replied, Yes. he's a
/ gentleman"
A letter written by Bassett to his SON
Chester. July Q, 1905. said the beginning OF
the end was at hand and told the boy al
ways 20 try to honor his mother.
Bassett admitted they had lived at five
different addresses named in Washington
and&hat he owes rent at all of them He
also admitted that many of his wife's doc
1 tors have not been paid He said he turned
over nearly all his salary to her and she
was expected TO lock after these bills.
A rumor circulated regarding the alleged
cause Of Bassett's continued absence from
the court room during the trial was indig;
nantly denied by Mr.. Bassett. To a re-
| porter for The Bee he said;
THE statement that was afraid 10 come
into court because the resemblance between
myself and the child called Lawrence
would be noted Is ridiculous and only at
tributable to some sensational paper. II is
a physiological fact, physicians have told
me. that the first child a. a woman by her
second husband often bears a resemblance
to her first husband. That. Of course. had

WATCH MADE OF IVORY

pieces Valued beyond
Price.

A man in Switzerland has just made a
watch entirely of ivory obtained from an
old billiard ball. Works. hands and case
are all of the same material. And yet II
keeps good time.
The first Photographic watch was made in
Paris in 1897. II was large and heavy but
was regarded as a great curiosity never
theless Now, however, watches that speak
the hours in place OF Ginning them are
not at all uncommon.
The are sun somewhat bulky as COM
pared with the best ordinary modern
chronometers, although not 80 much SO
but that they can. be easily carried in an
ordinary waistcoat pocket.
Beneath the crystal back OF a valuable
thermometer owned by an English trades
man six tiny gold and silver fish with ruby
eyes are seen apparently swimming about
in real water. The fish. Infinitely small,
are beautifully modelled and the effect Of
movement in their natural element is due
10 a combination Of hair springs with back
ground Of quicksilver.
Far more wonderful because Of it's small
size Is the watch owned by the cEarina or
Russia. originally presented TO the Empress
Elizabeth on her coronation.
At the back n inset an exquisitely beauti-
ful little model Of the holy sepuicher, over
which is seen standing. stern and notion
less. Praetorian guard
This is viewed through the crystal OF the
case. On opening It the imitation stones
roll away from the mouth Of the miniature
vault the sentry kneels reverently, angels
appear at opposite sides Of the opening
aud at the same time there is played. softly
and sweetly. the music Of one OF the
sacred Easter songs believed by all ortho-
dox Russians.
The watch weighs only seven ounces but
the maker is said TO have worked at It
almost uninterruptedly nine years.

that the handwriting OF both is that of

clared.
The date when Mrs. Bassett and Mr.. Hunt
went to the home Of Michael Sullivan and
rented the house was October 81. 1904, the
day following DEMONSTRATION. Mrs. Bassett
swore yesterday that she introduced Hunt
only by his right name Regarding other
points during her, stay in Little Rock she
could not remember much. Rev. Mr.. Hunt
did not remember whether he had reg
Istered at all. He did not remember on
what floor of the hotel he stayed, though.

Mr.. Stouts persistence in getting this
matter before the court resulted in bringing
forth rebuke. He had asked a number of
questions on a line into which the court did
not wish to go.
Are you going to persist in going into

Judge Redick at last.

Mr. Stout
We'll there will be another record made
unless you desist,'' replied the court de-

all that passed between the court and the
attorneys.

whether there should be an argument or 8
conference, and the latter was chosen.
