Mrs. Xarifa Ealing's clarity of mind, her quickness of wit and repartee and her ability to drive a sharp bargain were testified to yesterday afternoon by H. N. Scott, or the "Victor Land Com pany, when he was called as a witness In the contest over the will in which she bequeathed the bulk of her t600,000 estate to Thomas X. Strong, her attor ney, and C. L. Mead, a friend. Mr. Scott's acquaintance with Mrs. Faling embraced a period of 12 years including 1915, the year in which she made her will and the year in which the attorneys who are trying to break the will point to as the one in which she began to decline mentally. Mrs. Fnllnx'i Mind Alert. The witness testified tnat he not only found Mrs. Faling alert mentally, but unusually combative in standing up for her rights and particularly dominating in all affairs which concerned her. He raid his business dealings with Mrs. Ealing were frequent and numerous and that hisr opinion regarding her was formed after close observation. The case was lifted out of the ordi nary legal routine yesterday morning, when Mrs. Georgia Hoss took the stand and told how Mrs. Faling helped her along financially and encouraged her with words of cheer and advice. There was such a wistful strain of tenderness in the little woman's story about this assistance that the lawyers, for a time, forgot and cast aside the legal tedium usually injected in such cases and lis tened raptly to her narrative of heart Interest. i Mtm. Hoss) Recounts Dealings. Mrs. Hoss came here from Montana with an ailing husband and six help less children on her hands, the oldest being 14 and the youngest 4 months. Her worldly goods consisted of $1000 which she and her husband realized from their Montana holdings. This she invested in the home at 891 East Main street under an agreement to pay the balance in monthly installments of $37.50.. She had met Mrs. Clara Waldo at the Sargent Hotel, where Mrs. Fal lng was then staying. Mr. Hoss told Mrs. Waldo that the monthly installments had become a , burden beyond her earning capacity. "1 know a woman who will help you along, Mrs. aldo informed her. Mrs. Faling then came Into Mrs. Hoss' life. She lent the woman who had become a victim of misfortune money enough to pay for the home outright, retaining a note and a mortgage as security Mrs. Hoss was to pay Mrs. Faling back In monthly installments of $27.50. Benefactor Spreads Cheer. "If circumstances press you too hard I'll not foreclose on your home," were the words of cheer which Mrs. Hoss said Mrs. Faling used, "Never mind you'll get along in spite of your trou bles. and soon your boys will be big enough to help you," Mrs. Faling con tinued, accordin to Mrs. Hoss. From that time on Mrs. Faling vir tually conducted Mrs. Hoss' business affairs, and she did so with such sat isfactory results that Mrs. Hoss re marked to her one day: "I'd rather have you leave me your brains than all your money, Mrs. Fal lng."- "She was as keen and shrewd : woman as the late Hetty Green was credited with being, and she did not have the constant hardness of hear which is said to have been a trait o Mrs. Green," asserted Mrs. Hoss. . Mrs. Hoss' acquaintance with Mrs Faling embraced a period from 190 until 1917, the year of Mrs. Faling's death. Mr. Burnett Is Overruled.

Mr. Burnett said he wanted such 'writing to prove that Us letters were formed almost exactly like th letters made by tho hand which Mr. Burnett contends guided Mrs. Faling hand when she signed the will.
