testimony in defense Of the suit yester-
day, denying the claim for wages and as
serting no knowledge Of the property.

neys Ferguson & Ferguson, of the New
York bar. and Mr.. Belmont was defend
ed by Louis r. Noonan, of New York,
and his personal counsel, Wilton J. Lam
bert, Of Washington.

quickness Of Mrs. Belmont upon the wit
ness stand and camera artists were very
busy endeavoring to obtain snapshots.
