THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1927 BROWNING 10 TRY'T0 OFFSET WIRE'S STORY Realtor’s Counsel Studying Testimony in Preparation For Session Monday a White Piains, N. Y., Jan. 27—() —Counsel for Edward West Brown- ing, studying the testimony given the last two days here in the sepa- ration suit brought by the realtor against his young wife, the former Peaches Heenan, will | endeavor ito Me set this evidence, beginning next “Mon Browning, who was denied. a bill of particulars some weeks ago, has learned in ‘two days’ testimony by. his wife, her mother, friends and doctors what the specific allegations of eruelty against him are. eharges constituted his wife’s ans- wer, to his suit accusing her of abaftdonment. The wife’s case is complete ex- cept possibly for testimony by’ an alienist. A. recess ‘was taken yesterday at the request of Browning's counsel. Browning’s counsel is preparing a brief citing authority for the ad- mission of a diary kept by Mrs. Browning before her marriage and ruled out by Justice Seeger. The realtor’s lawyer, John E. Mack, first offered in evidence a diary that Peaches at fitst testified was an exact Copy of an original kept by her. Henty ‘Epstein, her lawyer, later in- formed the court Peaches had told him that the copy omitted the names of boy friends. Epstein then _pro- duced the original and both diaries were offered by Mr. Mack. Woman of the World “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,” Mack said. Mrs. Browning flushed at the statement and exclaimed heatedly, “I was a good girl.” Another high point in_yesterday’s hearing was when Miss Marian Tus- sey, a friend of Peaches, testified that Mr. Browning had offered to “make it interesting” if she would “recollect” any occurrences that might act against his wife in the separation suit. She said she promptly informed Mrs. Browning of the proposition. Browning took to New York his big black case which contains much of his evidence against his wife, love letters which ‘he hopes will show thet he wee an affectionate hushand And that his wife left him “wilfully and witnout cause.” Some letters wave been put in evidence but not rea Browning is expected to take the stand to defend himself, Sheriff of McLean County Now in City For Officials’ Meet O.
