is the plaintiff. was postponed indefinitely
late yesterday afternoon. and 1t was
again intlmated that the couple will be-

own satisfaction" he announced. DIR.
W. +. Kuhn. to whom ] took him, re-
ported to me that Mr. Yetter is inlno con-
dition to continue with the trial OF the
case. He says that while he is sound
mentally, his nervous condition Is such
that he needs a rest. Mr. Yetter has had
in view a visit to his father In Cali
fornia. He is going there until he is we'll"
II was at the end of the testimony Of
Mrs. Yetter that Judge Seehorn called
the plaintiff to his desk. He told Mr..
Yetter of Or. Kuhns decision. He then
called the wife to the desk and told her.
Both expressed gratitude to Judge See
horn and agreed to do what he said.
I The postponement came just as Mr..
Yetter was to take the stand to refute
the testimony OF his wife. She had been
on tho stand for two days. The wife on
cross-examination was forced to with
draw her charges of improper relations
with other women. The purpose of the
cross-examination seemed to be to prove
that Mrs. Yetter attempted TO belittle her
husband in the minds of his business
associates. She denied the charge.
