 ''Not in. the sense of true love. It was only q physical attraction that in the beginning drew me to hef and that feeling afterward returned only if I drank a little wine.''
 Truly I have never had place in my heart for anyone" quoted the law yer from one of his letters to the plaintiff. "What did you mean by that?'
 "That was an answer to one of her letters and I tried to sat- isfy her without expressing definite love"
 ''Did you ever consider the plain- tiff's letters interesting?"
 "When she didn't speak of love. I was interested in her intense feeling but net in her sentiment. She was girl of deep feeling and poor head"
 Walling was then excused and his wife, Anna Strunsky Walling, was called.
 Before Mrs. Walling could be ques- toned the court demanded to know concerning what she was to testify. Counsel for Walling said that Miss Grunspan, while on the stand. had as- sailed the character of the defendants wife The court ruled that any such references should be stricken out and Mrs. Walling was excused without a question being put to her.
