purpose was in leaving Los Angeles.
That Mcdonald had the contract to

had received telegraphic dispatch
from relatives in Boston, stating that

man to occupy my bedroom overnight
after putting my nurse and one woman
in bachelors quarters. She refused to
give me the names of the men, in spite
of my request"
House Party Reviewed
John T. Mcintyre, Mr.. Brokaw's
lawyer, began drilling into all the at
tendant circumstances of this "cumi-
mating house party" with great cir
cumstantiality. It was admitted that
Mrs. Frank Gould was a guest and
that her husband had ordered her not
to associate with Mrs. Gould.
Mrs. Brokaw parried his questions as
skillfully as ever, but showed some
agitation over the insistence laid on
the personality of "Bunnie" Wells, one
of the guests.
Mrs Brokaw testified that she had
first met Mr.. Wells in Baltimore five
years before his visit to her hus-
bands home in company with Miss
Nan Dennison of Syracuse, n. Y, Mrs.
Frank Gould and another man whom
Mrs. Brokaw only remembered as "a
Mr. Thompson"
Mr. Mcintyre was desirous to know
how the upstairs rooms of the house
were arranged and what rooms she
occupied on the night of the party.
"Wasn't Mr.. Brokaw's room con-
nected with yours?" he asked.
Door Opened on Hall
mo, the door from Mr. Brokaw's
room opened on the hall"
"And did it not open so near the
door of your room that from your
door you could have shaken hands
with a person standing in the other?"
''I never tried, Mr. Mcintyre"
"Well, now. where did you assign
Miss Dennison to sleep?"
"In Mr.. Brokaw's ROOM"
Wasn't there some change? Wasn't
Mr.. Wells finally given that room?"
Eyes"
'Did Mr. Wells come prepared to
stav all night?"
"I think he did"
Mrs. Brokaw was excused from the
stand after five days of testimony.
Her counsel intimated that he would
soon produce nurses, maids and other
witnesses to corroborate Mrs. Bro
kaws stories of broken doors and up
roarious nights.

morning session her eyes were as
