journed last evening for an indefinite

value at $4,000 and Frank f. Everest

WAtLING TELLS HIS WIFE ALL
spouse of Man Sued for Breach of
Promise Says She f. Sorry
for Girl.

NEW YORK, March ANNA Bertha
Grunspan in her behalf, and Mrs Walling
the defendants wife, were the principal
witnesses at the concluding session today
of the trial of Miss Grunspan's suit for
500, 900 for breach of promise against VIII
liam English Walling, the rich young
socIalistic writer.
Miss Grunspan made an almost hysterical
appeal but was grilled severely by jury
men and Walling's counsel because she had
never mentioned her alleged engagement to
Walling in her letters.
Mrs. Walllng also was much excited on
the stand. She said that Walling had told
her all about Miss Grunspan and showed
her all his letters, even before they were
engaged.
I'VE were distressed about some of the
letters" she said, because we thought
that they had some genuine feeling for him
and we discussed them at considerable
length"
