tions of the same nature and he had
always given his opposition to divorce.
lie had told Mrs. Brenton repeatedly
that he considered a marriage binding
and sacred and felt that it should hold
except for the cause he had stated.
That was the general nature of all
their talks. He had never tried to
| persuade her to commit the offense and
had never even made a suggestion.
| He was asked what he had to say as
| to the statement made by Mrs. Hol-
1 man that he had compelled her to sub
