HiM-eooD WITNESS FOR SELF.

Seldom has witness made a more
favorable impression than did Mrs.
William Hazelton. wife OF the u. OF
M. professor suing for a divorce In
Judge Hosmer's court. Mrs. Hazel

ing Thursday. She laid bare the In
nermo< secrets OF her heart without
hesitation, telling her story In a clear
deep voice that carried to the farthest
corners OF the room. Her language
was perfect. her sentences we'll round
ed. and every word seemed TO carry
with II the impression of honesty and
frankness. Throughout II all she en-
deavored TO DO honest, and more than
once SIZE said: II don't want any sig
nificance attached to my statement, /
simply tell what happened"
One OF the most remarkable state
ments made by Mrs. Hazelton was
the description OF her own character.
She did not spare herself in the least,
and once when her attorney inter
rupted her with a question. she said:

will brook no injustice. and am not
naturally patient. | have a sharp
tongue and can use bitter words. and

married life. have prayed over
them daily. and guarded against them.

sweeter spirit"
