 Peaches There Early
 Arriving half an hour before the onening of court, Peaches preceded her husband to the scene Of todays | hearing.
 Her arrival caused little comment. The weather was clear but extreme'y cold and few persons, at the time or her arrival, were waiting at the ! courthouse.
 The crowd increased as the hour set for today's opening approached and Mrs. Browning was to go on the stand again to relate the acts Of her husband, during their six months Of marriage, which she contends were so eccentric as to constitute extreme 1 cruelty.
 Browning appeared in the court room, without having encountered particular ovations either in the cor riders or the streets. He arrived one minute ahead of Justice Seeger. Worked at SIS Week
 Mrs. Browning was continued on the witness stand under cross ex- animation by John E. Mack, who questioned her about her employ ment at s15 a week at New York department store prior to her mar riage.
 She was called upon then to iden- tify several tabloid papers offered i'll evidence as containing her ac- count of "Why left Daddy Brown ing" Her voice, during the first part of the testifying was in a low and somewhat nervous tone.
 so-called composite photographs, in which a persons face Is custom arily pasted on body posed by an- other person were ruled out as evi- dence.
 Offers Tabloid Papers
 Browning's huge. heavy black scarlet-initialled suitcase, it turned out, was literally filled with tabloid papers, most of which, edition by edition, were offered in evidence.
 Browning's counsel then submitted the first letter thus far offered. from the young woman to the elderly realtor. It was followed by others, so many, indeed, on all types and tints of paper, it was apparent Browning had preserved a large col lection.
 Browning, resting his cheek In his hand, watched letter after letter, containing words of endearment. make it's way into the increasing offi- cial pile of billets- doux amassing as his evidence.
 Mack suddenly ended his cross examination after offering the let ters. Mrs. Browning reached behind the witness stand and clasped her mothers hand for sympathy.
 More About the Diary
 Attorney Epstein introduced new angle into the situation when he stated that the diary offered for Identification yesterday by counsel for Browning was not an "exact copy" of the actual diary kept before Mrs. Browning's marriage.
 Mrs. Browning declared that she had been advised to make copy be- cause the booklet would become the property of the court. She said that she had omitted names of young men acquaintances and incidents in the copy.
 "Were some 0, these omissions about the young men you knew"
 "Yes," answered the witness.
 Mack then asked: Did you see MT. Dale copy something out of that diary and did 1t occur to you that he might be trying to find out when 1t was published? Did that cause you to tell your attorney last night that the book we have is a 'phoney' diary?"
 u CSIldlllly ulu llOl, sllc dl- swered.
 Woman Of World
 "The writings of this lady will show that she was a woman of the world and knew what marriage meant" declared Mack.
 T was a good girl before my mar riage," Mrs. Browning burst out.
 Justice Seeger remarked in an- swer to arguments of attorneys to the authenticity of the diary that 1t did not seem that the record kept before the marriage had relation to the subsequent events, and tempor- arily ruled 1t out.

 After fifty-five minutes, Mrs Browning was excused and Mrs. Cothcrira
