Leona Frazler against her husband, George W. Frazler, In which she asks legal separation and alimony to the extent of 110,000. The court room was al most filled today with witnesses in this case, an interurban car from Huntington being crowded with those summoned. Dr.

C. Good and a number of the most prominent residents of Warren and vicinity are in the number of those summoned. It was announced that stil more witnesses would be called tomorrow and the costs In this trial promise to be very Mrs. Frazler took the stand this morning and was testifying the entire day. She is a middle aged lady, a decided blonde, and made a very good impression as she told her story.

She Is represented by Judge Wat king of Huntington, while on the defense are Attorneys Lesh ft Lesb, DIcken, Steele and Amsden, the latter of Marion. Mrs. Frazler told of their marriage in April, 1904, the first wedding for her but the second for him. They separated in January, 1905, she claim ed because of bis ill treatment of her and his continued cruelty. She stated that he is worth $20 000 and that be Is amply able to make the allowance of alllmony asks.

She is not only 'seeking a divorce from him but must contest the cross complaint thaf he filed charging her with cruelty. In her story on the stand today she referred to the fact that her hus band was once before divorced and that one child, a daughter, resulted from the first marriage. Judge Plummer held that this testimony was not pertinent but she referred to it incl dentally on a number of occasions while In telling of cruel treatment towards her. by her husband she related as probably the first occasion that the trouble' occurred when she attempted to kiss him. He slapped her, telling her that her breath smell ed bad.

In like minute details she told of other cases of cruelty. In the rigid cross examination it was easily shown that the trouble was started In her effort to secure his money and that the divorce Is brought largely for the alimony. Interest in this trial centers about letters that Mr. Frazler wrote to his daughter against her wishes and which caused some of the trouble. She claimed on the witness stand that she was told that only trouble would come from their corresponding.

She was required to deny the charge that she was meddling in order to secure the money and deprive the daughter of any share In the Frazler wealth. There are a large number of ladies In court and it Is expected before all are able to testify there will be some Interesting developments. They resided near Warren, Huntington county. Mrs. Frazler was taken off the stand for a time this afternoon and the other witnesses for the plaintiff were examined in rapid order.

This permitted the plaintiff to complete her case except for one witness today. She will "have, the right to considerable rebuttal evidence and evidently is depending upon that largely.
