MAYR DIVORCE
CASE IS ENDED
CALM MAY YET SUBMIT HIS
DEPOSITION
Evidence So VoIuminous That Court
Probably VIII Not Be Able to
Render an Opinion for
Some Time

The Mayr divorce trial has come 10
an end. so far as the taking of testi-
mony is concerned, although there IS

seph Calm, the musician, will be pre-
scented to the court at later GATE.

showing to the court Of the necessity
for this action, and failing to make TINS
showing by 8 o'clock it will be taken
| for Granted by both sides that argu-
ments will be heard by Judge James III
chambers wednesday of next week.
The evidence introduced has been SO
voIuminous and of such a character
that it is believed decision cannot p9

vacation, during which he will, In an
likelihood, be lulled to slumber WIN

FaIsifjed to Me-" which. while not as
classic as the Jap Song Charles n.
Keefer says he promised TO seno "
Mrs. Mayr, is nevertheless more appro-
pirate, when the allegations and denlais
heard in the testimony are considered.
The closing session of the trial lasted
two hours, during which four witnesses
testified. w. C. Petchner, an attorney
who has had financial dealings WIN
Mayr. testified that his reputation was
good. and DIR. T. J. Coffey was exam
med in regard to obstetrics, his test1-
monv being similar to that given by
another physician earlier in the trial.
Walter A. Mayr occupied the stand
about ten minutes, being questioned
concerning his physical condition dur
ing a certain period of his married lie.
Miss Johanna Mayr, sister of the de-
PENDANT, was also in the witness chair
a few moments, her testimony pelne
cut short by the objection of Mrs
Mayrs counsel.
Before closing the case former Judge
Britt, Mayr's attorney, asked to havs
stricken from the records certain state

called last week as witness.

man, in which Mrs. Moore said she

versation the words, My God. if had

dark man on the street, as I do not
believe there is evidence to connect

The testimony was ordered stricken
out as requested.

Although the visitors were out

Monroe's favor.

The Pondersville Record gives lts
readers this to ponder over: Every
man in every town, during the
course of lifetime, has to ask a
favor of an editor not an excep-
ton to the rule. A man may escape
a doctor, keep clear of the court,
but once in a lifetime at least, every
man has to 90 to a newspaper to
have a certain piece put ina death
notice, a marriage, etc. 1t is there
fore to your advantage to treat the
editor fairly. He desires to be fair,
he would do right rather than a
wrong, but if you give him a kick
the dent of it may be found in your
own hat some day and you will
wonder how it got there.
