 Yes" Mrs. Barnhardt replied.
 Did he hear it?"
 Yes she made that remark 10 her husband several times. Charlotte and Davy and several others were 1 there."
 Weren't they having quarrel? 2" T don't remember"
 Wasn't Mir. Mills criticizing her activities in the church? Did he say she spent too much time at the | church and not enough at home at- tending to her business there, and ] then didn't she reply, T care more I for MT. Halls little finger than for your whole body?"

 McCarter tried to bring out that Mrs. Mills and the rector had met | in New Brunswick only in Buccleugh l park.
 Did your sister tell you that they met on the last bench in the park and that she helped him with his sermons and other work?" defense counsel questioned. Yes" the witness replied.
 And they always met in broad ! daylight?"

 Did she say their regular meet ing place was in the park?' "She didn't say their regular meeting place, she said they some times met there.'

 'I didn't see her at all," Mrs ! Barnhardt replied.
 Isn't it a fact that she doesn't | dancer" T don't know"
 "Mr. Hall danced with other peo- pie in addition to Mrs. Mills and yourself?"
 T didn't see him do so."
 On cross examination Mrs. Barn. | hardt was asked: DO you remem- Der any occasion when MT. Mills came upon Eleanor and Mir. Hall and Mrs. Mills was provoked and l charged him with following herr"
 T never heard of that" answer | ed the witness.
 The witness on redirect eXamin- ation, said Mrs. Hall was the only /! woman who did not wear a mask | at the Halloween party at the | church, although she did wear a | costume. Mrs. Barnhardt said Mrs. | Hall sat aside watching as her | husband and Mrs. Mills danced to- gether most of the evening.
