question propounded by Pros. JeI-
lison-'if il wasn't a fact that Mrs.
Herman and Mr. Poulin preferred

Denies ChiId's Paternity"
Mr.. Herman uttered vigorous
denial on the witness stand today
that he was the father OF the third
baby born 10 his wife When asked
by Mr.. Jellison, after naming his
two daughters and giving their
ages, if he had any other children.
