hold his decision for a public trial.
 The justice also declared secrecy is likely to breed perjury" as wit nesses telling their story in open court realize that what they testify may reach those who could contra dict them If they testified falsely.
 Browning's Evidence.
 MT. Browning, who left here yes terday afternoon a veritable crest of wave Of humanity. took with him his big black case with the red "E. w. B. initials on it. The case, it was shown yesterday. contains most of MT. Browning's evidence against his wife, love-letter and newspaper evidence in which he hopes to show that he was an affectionate husband and that his wife left him "wilfully and without cause"
 Reporters who cleared out of White Plains last night left reserva- tions for rooms beginning Sunday night, to permit them ample time to get ready for the third opening" of this trial.
 The quick conclusion of the main body of Mrs. Brownings side of the separation suit, was followed by a statement by John E. Mack of the Browning counsel. He said that if the court adjourned the trial until Monday, when he had made ar engagements for the Browning wit nesses to appear he would promise to close the case in two days.
 All the principals were either in New York city or at their homes in other parts Of the state today. rest ing after two days of crowd-battling here and snow- bucking in the little town of Carmel, Putnam county. where Browning's counsel closed their abandonment testimony taking Monday.
 Weeps Three Times.
 The grilling in the heavily packed courtrooms seemed hardest of Mrs. Browning, who three times in her testimony here, broke down in tears.
 Browning. dressed with punctil-
 
 alertness and suavity among his five attorneys, is expected to take the stand to defend himself against the cruelty charges soon after the re- sumption of the trial.
 Mir. Mack is also preparing brief citing authority for the admission of diary kept by Mrs. Browning be- fore her marriage and which was temporarily ruled out yesterday by Justice Seeger on the grounds that it did not concern her at the time of her marriage. The judge announced, however. he would change his rul- ing if MT. Mack could show good authority for admitting it.
 Mir. Mack first offered in evidence a diary that Peaches on Tuesday had testified was an exact copy Of an or iginal kept by her. but which Henry Epstein, her lawyer, yesterday said she told him omitted the names of boy friends. Mir. Epstein then pro- duced the original and both diaries were offered in evidence by Mr. Mack.
 Not Innocent Girl.
 If your honor reads the diary, you will find she was a woman Of the world, and not the innocent girl she said she was at the time of her marriage" he said.
 Mrs. Browning flushed at the statement and exclaimed heatedly, T was good girl"
 Another high point in the days hearing was when Miss Marion Tus- sey, a friend of Peaches, testified that Mr. Browning had offered to make 1t interesting" if she would "recollect' any occurrences that might act against his wife in the separation suit. She said she prompt ly informed Mrs. Browning Of the proposition.
 MT. Browning yesterday denied rumors that he planned to drop the suit.
