SHE KEPT TONK|E
FROM HIS STUDIES
Thereby Violating Code of Honor
Laid Down BY College
Willows of Cornell.

NEW YORK. Dec. In the trial of
the suit of Ernest Wadleigh against
Loring Tonkin for $1,000 for the alleged
alienation of the affections of the plain
t:f-s wife. known on the stage as Miss
Vera Black which was continued in
the supreme court before Justice
Amend. Mrs. Olivia Crane, described as
a Cornell college widow" testified that
when she visited the NFadleighs in their
apartment she had seen "Tonkies' pho
tograph on the mantelpiece, so that Mr..
Wadleigh had nc right to say that he
never realized that his wife knew Ton
kin so well.
Mrs. Crane, who said she had been
married three times. spoke OF a number
Of Cornell students familiarly by their
first name sucn as Champ Salisbury
and ''Skit" Magnus She always re-
ferred to the defendant Tonkon, as
''Tonkie-" He had gone to Cornell, she
said. ia 1911 and 1872 That was the
time. she said, that Vera set her cap
for him. She said that it wasn't Ton
kie's" fault.
Vera pretended to care a whole lot
tor him and she told him thai IL he
threw her over she would tell her
husband. Ernie. that he had insulted
her. and then Ernie would come up to
Ithaca and make a scene. Vera said
that she thought Tonkie's parents
must be very rich to send him so
much money while he was going to COL
lese. If she had really cared as mcuh
for him as she said she did. she would
never have allowed him to get into
trouble
When asked by counsel for Mr.. Wad-
leigh whether there was not a code of
honor among the college widows at Cor
nell Mrs. Crane said there was.
What is the code of the Cornell Col
lege widows?'
Well" said the witness, who had a
very wide circle of acquaintance
among the students of Cornell, ''the
first rule is, never keep a college stu
dent from his classes; second, never
ALLEVIATE him from his parents; third,
treat him as though he were weak
minded; fourth, never injure him by
talking to others against him; fifth.
forget him after he leaves college"
Under further questioning Mrs. Crane
said that Vera Black frequently kept
Tonkie from his classes, which was con-
trary to the foregoing code of ethics
among college widows
