Abingdon. He is a we'll built man
with iron grey hair. He dresses in
the latest fashion and looks far
from "a.
Mr.. Gardner testified on the
stand yesterday that he had never
,, asked Mrs. Mullen to marry him.
Mrs. Mullen said that Mr.. Gard
ner was very affectionate at all
times that they were together dur
ing their engagement, and that he
visited her at her sons and daugh-
ter's homes, in Peoria and Milan.
and embraced her in the presence
of them. She said that she visited
at the Gardner home in Viola in
1918 and he was very loving dur
ing that visit. She testified that
he had paid her way on several
railroad trips and that his daugh-
ter Edith of Viola knew of this and
resented it.
About the 23rd of April, 1919, Mr..
Gardner is said to have gone to
Chicago, and when he came he
told me-" stated Mrs. Mullen, that
he could have his wife's cousins
widow for the asking, but as long
as he could have me he didn't want
her. do not know who this wOm-
an was, but l believe she was Mrs.
Lily Mcconnell"
In August, 1919, he called on Mrs.
Mullen at the home of her son in
Peoria, and she stated that he told
her at this time that land he had
| in Texas had failed and that they
could not get married for some
time. Il told him that l was not
used to much and that I wanted to
get married. He said We couldn't
get married until the spring. He
left me then, and I asked him with
my arms around his neck and cry-
| ing when would see him again
! and he said he didn't know. That
was the last time saw him."
Mrs. Mullen is also grey-haired.
She says that she loves" old SOL
diers, having had q father, five un-
cles and two cousins in the Civil
war.
As far as the records Of Mercer
county show, this is the first breach
