which she held an automatic re-
volver in her hand most OF the time.
Chaplin replied that she had made
a nuisance of herself, that he bought
her a ticket to New York to get rid
of her, and that he did not touch
her in New York, or after he re-
turned home. For one thing, ne
testified. he was afraid Of that gun.
Miss Barry broke down once and
wept as she testified. Chaplin
.choked up twice, once while telling
of finding his two sons at home
while he was having q battle with
her, and once while relating that he
felt sorry for her after she'd UNDER
gone an operation, nature OF which
never was described.
Chaplin finished his testimony
late yesterday, placing in the record
as his last words his denial that he
ever urged Miss Barry to go to New
York for the birth of her child. He
said he did not know she was an ex-
pectant mother, that he'd never
talked to her about the stork.
Then Carr called the auburn
tressed Miss Barry as a rebuttal
witness. He asked several questions:
Had she talked to Chaplin beside
his pool about her unborn child?
Had he suggested that she go to New
York for the accouchement? Had
she begged him to marry her? Had
he told her that he didn't intend
to marry anybody?
Miss Barry's answer to every one
was yes. And that's only a sam
pie of what confronts the jury. OF
the thousands of words in Miss
Barry's testimony, there were thous-
ands of equally eloquent words from
Chaplin contradicting her.
