Senator Tillman and his wife. When
proceedings were instituted by the
mother to regain the children SEN
ator Tillman filed a lengthy and
earnest affidavit. He said that the
present instance was the first time
in which he had appeared in court
either as plaintiff or defendant,
and that he would not have been
present at that time but for the
fact that he was dragged into the
case. The elder Tillman declared
that his sons wife was not the
proper person to care for the chill
dren, because she cherished antip-
athy for the family of her husband.
He declared that the children could
