 'fWe went West after our marriage, g she said. He told me that after our wedding we would go to California and live in happiness among the palm and orange trees. When we reached there he got me to accept a position as a stenographer with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. where I remained a month.
 ''On the first anniversary of our we'd ding day he left me for Europe, where he said he had business"
 Mrs. DanZiger produced letters writ ten her by her husband while abroad. one of them addressed to My Darling Ida', and another to My Sweetheart 'i She showed the jury two rings which she wore. She said one of them was her engagement and the other her wedding ring.
 Counsel for Danziger said his defense was that no marriage ceremony was ever performed between his client and the plaintiff, and that consequently she had no case. He asked Mrs. Danziger whether she always wore the ring she had described as her wedding ring.
 ''I did not wear it when I was work ing" she said
 Didn't you offer to drop this suit if pr. Danziger would give you S50O?H SAY THEY SAW THE CEREMONY.
 'I never did," Mrs. Danziger an- swered with some heat, "but did of fer to drop proceedings I had institut- ed in a police court to compel him to support our child.''

 He never had"
 Several witnesses testified they were present at the marriage of the plaintiff and defendant which they said was performed by a rabbi. One of them said that the ceremony was performed at DanZiger's request at an earlier hour in the day than it had been set for. She mentioned the names of guests who were present at the we'd ding supper which followed in the brides home, where the marriage was celebrated
