The spectacle \\ as made even
m‘ore tearful when the plaintlll! tes-
tified that her husband once became:
enraged by the disappearance , of
what she called “his big gun. " She
admitted having hidden the arma-
ment under a sofa. but was reluc—
tant to reveal her act. She said she
didn' t know what his purpose “a
s in
seeking the _gun.
They scparr‘ied on October 4,1924,
she said. after he had threatened to
kill her. ,
The occasion‘when Mrs: Sellec
testified that her husband had 2‘1;
gallons of wine she ,"would like to
get. a. hold 0 was not the only
time the con and specimens had
opportunity for laughter.
Attorney John J. Cuneo, during
the cross~examination of Selleck,
asked the detenduntnvhere he ob-
tained his liquor.
“You don’t expect me to answer
that," responded Selleck. “Yes, I
do." Mr. Cuneo said. "Well. I make
it" the witness blamlly answered.
The ripple or mirth that spread
through the courtroom at this reply
very nearly called for a rap of the
sherifga baton
During his direct examination by
Attorney C. Milton Fessenden. Scl-
leck testified. “I dont claim to be
a teetotaller but I deny being drunk
ml the time". He denied that he
ever struck his wife. He said that
as early as two weeks after his mar-
riage. Mrs. Selleck started to nag.
A large part of their dliIcrenccs.
he said. centered about her attempt
toput him in prison for alleged
gery in connection with a tax 3!-
ment in New York. He said the at-
tempted prosecution went “sadly
flat."
Elia. Hotchkiss or Glenbrook,
Stamford, testified that on March 31.
last. a. car driven by Selleck collided
with one driven by her at Maple
street and Courtland avenue, Glen-
brook. He was unxnlstakedlx under
the influence of liquor, shesaid.
Counsel for the defense moved for
non-sult.~ claiming the plaintiit in
her testimony had failed to prove
the habitual intemperc nee allegation
and that the fact they ‘ separated
many months after the alleged
cruelty occurred, showed condone.—
t.ion. The court denied the motion.

AMHERST, Mass, April :3.-An-
nouncemcnt is made by the North-
eastern Forest Experiment Station
that its work will be expanded dur-
ing the coming year to include in-
vestigations of insect pes’ts and tree
diseases in cooperation with the
Bureau of Entomology and the-”Bu-
reau of Plant. Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For one branch of those studies. the
control of the “bite. pim- weevil, the
sum of 3....300 a vear for the next

several individual subscribers who
prefer to remain anonymous. The

causes much damage annually by
destroying the terminal shoots of
young pine trees. and is one of the
serious: drawbacks to tho profitable

its entire eastern range.
