Lyman, occupied all day in thejsuperior court, and was not concluded, although Judge Webb held court umtil 6 o'clock. Several witnesses will be introduced in re- buttal this morningiand the arguments will follow. The complaint, in the case is that the platntiff and defendant were mar- ried in September of 1914, he relying on her statement that he was re- sponsible for her conditlon at the they were full-grown, but Dr, said he could say with absolute cer- tainty they were not of 'premature irth. Clinton T. Wood, of this city, who introduced the couple to each other, took the stand, and told of their meet- ing, which he said was on the night of June 28, 1914, at the corner of Jack- son and Main sireets. He remembered the time as it was just following his grandfather’s death. He walked home with a niece of the then Miss Nolan, who was taken home by Mr. Lyman. Miss Lilllan Lyman, sister of the plaintiff, testified to a conversation with Mrs. Lyman in October or No- vember of 1914, in which the latter told her she met her husband the last of June, Lyman’s Testimony. The complainant took the stand, and told the story of his relations with Miss Nolan, beginning with his meet- ing her on June 28. Some time near the latter part of July she told him he was responsible for the condition she was in, and as a result he mar- ried her on September 8th. He was cross-examined at length, and admitted that his wife had a fall in December, and was in bad shape after it, and Dr. Parker was called to take care of her. The names of the children he suggested to his wife. He told Dr. Parker to get the other phy. cians to examine the children, as he wanted to be sure they were full- grown. After the verdict of the doc- tors he did not live with his wife, He went to see her in the hospital, and did not say anything to her about the children until she was able to sit up. When she left the hospital, he went to Brooklyn, and when he came back, she was at her mother’'s home. He left two hundred dollars for her sup- port with H. H. Lyman, but did not tell his wife so. Father on the Stand. Dwight A, Lyman, father of Samuel, told of a conversation he had with his son and Miss Nolan about September ist, in which she said Sam was re- sponsible for her condition, and tha the child was not more than two months old. When she came out of the hospital he told her Sam had gone away, and he had money to support her, and he did pay her board at her mother’s home from that time. Mr, Lyman was cross-examined at the beginning of the afternoon session time, that he ‘met the defendant on June 28, 1914, and that on Jan. 10, 1915, she: was the mother of two fully- matured childnen. The defense denied all allegations of fraud, and admitted only the:marriage, and the birth of the children, Dr. T. R..Parker of this city, the first witness, was the attending physi- cian at the time of the birth, and told of that fact. He'sald the chil- dren:were full4term children, and that he examined them carefully at the time,yon account of the fact that they were +born so-:soon after the couple met. On cross-examination he said he did not remember whether a call he made at the home of the couple in Decem- ber of 1914 wis because of a fall that Mrs. Lyman 'had sustained. He told of getting two other physicians to look at the children within a week or so after their birth. When questioned about the birth certificate made out by him the wearly part of February, he admitted writing in it “name of father—unknown.” Mrs, Lyman never told him she did not know who the father was. He put it in as she had told him_ when jshe met Mr, Lyman, and the childrentwere full-grown. Ask- ed .why he put in that the girl was theaghird chila bornsto the mother, and the tboy_the second, he said Mrs. Ly- child.’ Say :Children Were Full-Grown. [astitute Incorporated 1842 J ‘l H. C.

As a result of a con- versation with his son following the birth of the children he advised Sam to see Dr. Parker and take steps ‘o make certain_ the children were_ full- grown. Mrs. Lyman came to his house from the hospital and remained there about a week. He told her Sam would not come back as long as she was there, and if she wanted to go to her mother’s provision would be made for her. Money for Wife's Support. Hollis H, Lyman, brother of Samuel, testified that Sam left $200 with him for the support of his wife when he went away, to be spent as D, A. Ly- man should advise. Mrs. D. A.

She said there was “no doubt in the least that her husband was the father of the children.” Questioned as to Life in Baltic. The cross-examination tried to get admissions from her as to her life in Baltic, where she said she was for a couple of months In the winter of 1913, and as to whether she “kept company” with anyone else, naming a man who worked in the dyehouse of the Amer- ican Thread company, but most of the replies elicited were denials of alleged facts or statements.
