Heath Claims He Never Mistreated His Wife and Told of I'heir Courtship and Trouble—Other Superior ' Court Business. The case of Bessie A. Heath of Col- chester vs. Charles H. Heath, a suit for non-support was not finished in the superior court at New Londen Thuvs- ay. The history of the courtship by mail between Heath and his present wife, then Miss Bessle A. Reeves of Haz- ardville, Conn., was given in full by Heath. He 'sald that it was a matri- monial journal, ~The Pilot, which brought him and the present Mrs. Heath together, He saw Miss Reeves' advertisement in the matrimonial pa- per and as he was alone in the world decided to emswer, which he did, He identified a letter written July 5, 1905, as the first he had written Miss Reeves, The letter was admitted and was read by Heath at request of his attorney, Charles \W. Comstock. Then Heath visited Miss Reeves and Miss Reeves reciprocated, “making one more visit to me than I did to he Finally, witness said, arrangements were made for Miss Reeves coming to live in_Colchester with Heath, but when Miss Reeves wanted to bring some other women, Heath objected. He wrote her a letter of protest as follows: “I can’t keep all of these women and your horse. If it was only your mother it would be all right.” The next day, Heath testified, Mf Reeves arrived with a horse and car- Tiage, which she said was hers, and accompanied by her mother and anoth- er woman, Miss Julia Murray., This was February 17, 1908, and on Febru- 0 Heath and Miss Reeves were od Mrs, Heath denied receiving the let- | ter telling her not to come and then | her coul Attorneys Browning of Norwich ana C. Hadlai Hull of New London objected to the letter because they sald their client had never receiv- ed it. Heath sald that on one of ber visits Miss Reeves had left a supply of en- Velopes addressed to her at Hazard- ville so Heath would be sure to write her. The statement that Miss Reeves never recclved Heath's letter telling her mot to come riled Heath and he sald in proof of his claim that she did receive it, that he found it as well as the other letters he wrote her, in Mrs. Heath's trunk after she left the Heath house, “DId you ever strike your wife, as she hag testified?” Mr. Comstock asked. pened. finish,” said Heath. “Did you kick her, as she hassaid?” Mr. Comstock asked. 4 never,” Heath st with is. Attorney Comstock asked the client if it were true that once when his wife had <ent for Attorney Jere- miah J, Desmond of Norwich that as Mr. Desmond came into the house | witness pushed his wife away from the telephone as she was telephoning, “No, sir, No, sir,” Heath replied. “It’s all a put up job, he declared. Heath said the water is only a few inches deep, “about enongh to water & horse.” “Ig it true that you entered your wife's room one night while she was disrobing and dn?” her out and tried to puli her down where there were several men?” “No, sir. No, sir,” was Heath's re- ply. Then he told of the incident to which she referred. He said that some neighbors were at the house and Mrs. Heath was out, She returned about 10 o'clock, and Heath asked if she wasn’t out late. Although witness was standing about gix feet away from his wife, she cried out to Miss Mur- v: “Julia, did you see him choke me Witness sald he didn't touch his wife and never had. Heath also denied that one night in October, while his wife was sleeping with her mother, who was ill from pneumonia, he had seized Mrs. Heath by the I¥mbs and had dragged her out to the door, He was positive he had never done this and was alse certain that he had not on the other occasion tried to drag his wife partially dressed down stairs to exhibit to his men guests. ‘After denying the charge of cruelty Heath also denied that he had not given Mrs, Heath even the necessities of life not even in the last month that she lived with him from Febru- ary 23 to March 23, 1907. The charge that it was really Heath who committed the act of desertion inasmuch as by his cruelty he forced his wife to leave, was denled. Frank W. Olmstead and Henry King of Coichester testified that Mr. Heath was & good man. In rebuttal Thomas §. Rathbun, Al- pert Fargo, Patrick J. Purcell and Mrs. Heath were called. Mr. Purcell gave Mr. Heath rather a poor name as to truth and actions, while Mrs, Heath told of her husband bringing home some diseased mdat which she refused to cook and he would not eat it. This completed the testimony and arzuments were made by Attorneys Hall and Hall before court adjourned at 5.30 until this morning, when Attor- ney Frown(nF and Comstock will make the concluding arguments.

Dr. Holmes fifid treated Penharlow and considered him in the physical condition of one hebituay Intemperate. Judge Wheel- er took the papers. Mrs. Penharlow does not ask for change of name and she cutting her hand. “Never, never,” Heath sa.d again. Heath denied that part of his wife's | testimony where she sald that he | struck her In the back and that he | refused to allow people to come to the house and said that he “was al- | ways glad to have peopie come to the | ho! d you drag your wife out of the | house and try to drown her in & brook near your house?” there are no children, She simply wants a decree, Mary K.
