this beouest was made is being con-
tested bv the children, one OF whom IS
Mrs. Virginia Lockwood, the wife or
Yesterdays witness.
To show the bitter feeling that cx-
listed i'm the family, Lockwood SAID tnat
Mrs. Neil tried to poison his nina
against her daughter while he was
counting her. On several occasions, he
said. the woman who is now his mother
in-law sat on his lap, sent her daugh-
ter from the room and tried TO DIS
suade him from marrying Virginia. She

that she Mrs. NeiD ruled the house,
and he told of several times when Mrs.
Neil said to her husband: "You have
talked long enough; 1t Is time you gave
some one else chance" Sometimes,
when the doctor was SICK, sdlu i'oSN-
wood, he would refuse to permit his
wife to administer his medicine, but
would insist on his daughter giving 1t

that the relations between Mrs. Nell
and the present Mrs. Lockwood were
"the most unfriendly ! have ever seen

Neil Strike her daughter with her fists
and order her from their home, because,
as the mother said, Virginia had IN
duced her father to sign mortgage

Tho home of friends. On her return in
day or two, her father greeted her
atFectionately, but her mother was IN
relenting. She again ordered the
daughter from the house, and said TO
DR.. Neil: "You order her from the
