| Yes, / used No. 2 sandpaper, to
make them fit her dance pumps.
But l certainly didn't keep it up all
night"
He said that he had to get
Peaches" hot water bags, open
windows, arrange the covers of her
bed, put six rseven quilts on it,
take them off again during the night.
And otherwise care for her.
Were yo uever intoxicated?" he
was asked, referring to testimony
given by Mrs. Heenan that she had
seen him drunk.
Never Was Drunk
81 never was drunk in my life," he
answered.
He then smiled as he denied he had
threatened to "shoot the whole
works" as Mrs. Heenan had testified.
He also denied that he had a gun
or a shell at any time when 1 was
married"
He reiterated that mo one ever
saw me drunk"
He was next questioned with re-
gard to his care of Dorothy (Sun-
shine) Browning. He denied the
charges against him made in his
wife's testimony and that of Mrs.
Heenan.
Il don't even know whether Dor
othy wears pajamas or a night
gown" he said, when asked if he
prepared her for bed.
He half arose from the chair when
asked if he had ever rubbed Dorothy
to sleep as the Heenans had testified
That's a lie" he shouted with
show of excitement.
He listed fifty or sixty dresses, fur
coats, lingerie anything she
wanted"-as among the things he
bought for Mrs. Browning.
Mrs. Browning had wanted to live
on Park Ave. or Riverside DIR. with
all outside rooms" He said he found
one of six rooms, but Mrs. Heenan
sal dshe was going to live with them
and they would need eight rooms.
Peaches" at this point, leaned
over and talked with her mother,
shaking her head as she spoke.
Browning again was led into a
discussion of the intimate phases of
his married life. He said he was
greatly shocked" when on Oct. 2
Mrs. Heenan told him Traces isn't
coming home to YOU
II asked her what Ihad done and
she answered., We'll, you wouldn't
buy the Park Ave. apaI tment that L
wanted" Browning said.
Then you didn't know your wife
was going to leave your" he was
asked.
mo, no." Browning answered.
Hits MOther-in-Law
"And you didn't know that Mrs.
Heenan was going to leave your"
mo, but hoped so" he said.
The remark was ordered stricken
out by the judge, who nevertheless
smiled.
Yes, that should be stricken out"
Browning said. Il didn't care if she
stayed, but 1 did want her to leave
us alone just little while.''
Browning said Peaches" frequent
ly came to his Office and would
punch out" on his typewriter while
waiting for him little love notes.
They were not read in court, but
were submitted to Justice Seeger,
who read them.
| One note dated May 10 read:
ITO the most wonderful Prince
Charming in all this world.
you are really my Prince Charm
Ing. You are a true prince. 1 love
you more than anything else in all
the world. 1 love you for so many
reasons. First, because you are just
yourself. Next, because you are so
good to me. You try to give me
everything 1 want.
"I know my daddy has so many
business troubles and L will always
try to make you forget your troubles
and be happy.
"I'll always love my daddy.
(Signed) Peaches"
Daddy Dear:
derful daddy in all the world. You
are gorgeous, wonderful, splendid
and wonerful."
It was unsigned, but Browning
swore that Mrs Browning wrote it.
The third, dated Aug. IS, 1926,
read:
Dearest Daddy:
ST love you very much, more than
anything else in all the world. You
are the most wonderful daddy that
ever was. l miss you so much all
day. Please don't work any more.
love you, I love you, love you.
(Signed) YOUR DARLING
PEACHES"
After presentation of the letters
court recessed for luncheon.
After trial of the separation suit
had adjourned yesterday the United
Press correspondent found Browning
as communicative as is his custom.
81 was sorry the court ruled out
that testimony about my wife" he
said.
The plaintiff referred to action of
Justice A. H. F. Seeger, who would
not admit evidence from former
hoy friends of peaches. Those
one-time escorts were admittedly
ready to testify the young wife's pre-
marital days and nights were more
colorfui than not. Justice Seeger
also ruled out diary written by
the girl, as we'll as letters purport-
ing to describe strip poker" party.
But you will find all about her
from me-" Browning resumed. 81
intend to tell the whole truth about
our married life"
would you have married Miss
Heenan if you had known the things
about her you know now?'' the cor
respondent asked.
