Mrs. Ferguson Denies This But Admits Guide, for Whom She Is Said to Have Infatuation, Is Half Breed Indian.

That George Graham, the Maine guide with whom Emile Carstairs Ferguson, was said to have been in- fatuated, is a half breed Indian, was one of the facts brought out today during the cross examination in the superior court of Mrs. Ferguson, who is being sued for divorce by Walter Ferguson, Jr., wealthy Stamford manufacturer. Mrs. Ferguson on cross examination by Attorney Homer s. Cummings, said she discovered that Graham was half breed. It made him more interesting, she thought, and the idea of going in the woods on hunting trips with an aborigine was pleasing to her. The witness under stood that Graham's mother was an Indian and his father either Scotch or Irish.
 Mrs. Ferguson admitted having bought costly presents for the guide. She was asked if she had not bought from Theodore B. Starr of New York a pair of gold suspender buckles val- ued at $50 and a pair of gold garter buckles valued at $35. Mrs. Graham did not deny having purchased these article for Graham but did not think the goods were as costly as Attorney Cummings stated
 The lawyer asked about a. party that took place in the Fergusons' Stamford home at which Graham had a chance to show his alleged spiritu- alistic powers by telling the fortunes of the guests. Mrs. Ferguson admitted Graham had taken the guests Separ- ately into the library and had told their fortunes.

 "I did not,' was the reply. "I have never gone into a towering rage"
 Attorney Cummings then asked Mrs. Ferguson if the members of her fam fly, the Carstairs in Philadelphia, had not been connected with scandal. Judge Curtis ruled this question out Then the lawyer asked the witness if she had discussed with her hus- band the subject of scandal in the Carstairs family and the effect it might have upon divorce proceedings. Judge Curtis said she might answer yes or no.
 1T can't answer yes or mo-" was the reply.
 The subject was then dropped. The trial was going on at press hour and will probably continue for several days.
