AND THEN HE WAS SICK
Millionaire Will Let By Cones Be By Cones If His Wife Will Promise to Quit Calling Him Names and Being Jealous

New York, Dec 24.-One week of happiness in two years of married life was the best that Gould Brokaw could get out of his bargain, according to his testimony today Yet he was will ing to take his wife back. She, how ever. seems to prefer a seperation and S60.000 year alimony.
 T bear absolutely no rancor toward my wife" Brokaw volunteered in his testimony today If she promises to be good, I will take her back to my arms. All want her to promise i. that she will not accuse me of going with other women and stop calling me names. If she makes that promise I will promise her a Merry Christmas and a Happy New York"
 Mrs. Brokaw was not present to hear her husbands offer of reconcili- ation. The severe cold kept her away. But her counsel was disinclined to credit Brokaw with sincerity
 If Brokaw means what he said" commented Attorney Baldwin, there is no reason why they should not be reconciled. but l believe it is nothing more, than a welI-planned scheme to create sentiment in favor of the de- fendant"
 At the resumption of the hearing. Brokaw was asked to describe the sin gle week of welded bliss He was sick at the time, and quarrels and worry were not good for him. he said. His physicians advised him not to see Mrs Brokaw. but he insisted.
 'I could not seem to get Mrs. Brokaw off my mind" he said. "and finally the doctors said she could visit me. For q week she was loving and affectionate"
 Brokaw's lawyer did not press him mated that one bright week Instead. Mcintyre brought out denials from Brokaw that he ever set the servants spying on his wife. or that he was jealous of her physicians. He never suspected. he said, that Mrs. Brokaw would eloDe with one of the doctors. The doctor was too effeminate. He never heard his wife mention the name of "Bunnie" Walls, whose presence at a house party preciDitated their final estrangement.
 Brokaw explained why he twice broke down the door of his wife's room Every time he tried to talk confiden- tially with her. he said, he either found the door locked or maid in the room. once, he admitted. these tactics drove him to eXasperation. and the other time he feared his wife had attempted suicide
 He denied that he ever spent s30,- 900 in one year on his wife. A better estimate, he said. would be sS.000. Dur ing their separation he had directed his lawyers to pay her $50 a week. He denied that he ever spent $35.0O0 on jewels for her "The most I ever paid" he testified, was s1.00O for the engagement ring"
 Did you ever buy her, any other jewelry?"
 Yes: a necklace of pearls and em- eralds to replace one of my mothers she had been wearing When I gave it to her she said it was paste. and threw it into my face" As proof that Mrs. Brokaw was mistaken. her husband said that Mrs. Jimmy" Martin after wards offered to buy the necklace.
 Mrs. Martin" he commented with finality, "does not wear paste"
