PulTaloe if In had t'aniily prayers Mr. Poiiglass again objeeied. when Col. Argo i ii t el' insi'il. saying that the man's family relations were the point in di spute and the iilleslion was perfeclly germane, since the attorneys- for iho plaintiff sought to make the defendant .nil 'a regular polar hear. Mr. Ilyan for the plaintiff then joined in the diseus-io.i indignantly denying that the ptoseoinion likened Pr. Huff.-iloe to a plar lo ar; llu-y would never aitriloile him to such a colli region, but though be b, -longed l a much lower and warmer climate. Pr. HulTialoe's testiin.-ny was entirely cxpiaiialory. answering the various chargis which ha e b. eu brought agaiusi him. He was very calm on the stand and si i . o I the sharp cms examination pretty well. Much of tie- evidence is to. prriale for print. F.XA.MINIvP HY MU. P.l'SHKK. Pr.

After reaching the train and putting her on a sleeper while the train was in Vir ginia she needed a stimulant and he got tile conductor to stop -I minutes for hini to go some st-'niulain for her and the conductor moved the train olT leaving him. He lelegraphed to the conducior at next station to e-are for her until she got to Italeigh. In reply to a question said that Mrs. P.ulfaloe had a chill in lSIir, and lie gave her all due alieiiliou. Pr. KulTaloc s-.iid that he always kissed his wife when he came in and asked lmw she fell, and when he would leave he always kissul her. When the plaintiff Was in Hnlli lllore hi- second lime he went fur her and showed her all due ntlcniioii in bringing her home. In regard lo the death of their second child Pr.

Once I tw talk'ing to the child and Mrs. HiitTaloe inlerferred. I then l-ad Mts. Ktiffulne aside and told her kimily but positive tone that thai was not the way lo raise a child. So far as his finances were concerned he Muni that before he marrhd he told her Ibat he was a young man just slatt ing here: did not tell her that he was a man of property.
