Whiting and for which a deposition was taken tefore Presiding Judge Tazwell. Questioned by Barnett Goldstein, at torney for the plaintiff, the present wife was led to unfold full details of her romance with the physician and to tell of her efforts to avoid notoriety. The witness said that she had known of the animosity of the Uoctor'.s first wife and that at one time Mrs. Iva Whiting had followed her in a taxicab and "assaulted" her She told of her marriage to Mr. Merges in 1904, and subsequent divorce In December, 1912, some time after which the supreme court reversed the decision of the lower court and gave the husband custody of his small son. She said she first met Dr. Whiting when she accompanied a friend to his office to consult him professionally and that in the spring of 1914 she frequently met him at picnics and had occasion to seek medical advice from him, seeing him also at Sea side the same summer when his wife was not along. Letters Written From Florida. In January, 1915, Mrs. Mary Whiting said she was in Florida and while there wrote the doctor several times concerning his domestic troubles, as ehe knew he and his wife had sepa rated. Later she went to Seattle. "I stayed there," the witness explained, "hoping that Mrs. Whiting would on sober reflection, reconsider th? matter of this suit and think of herself and her children. I was ill at the time, owing to my overwrought nervous condi tion, and was in the care of a doctor." That marriage was never discussed until after Mrs. Whiting had secured her divorce and "commenced her public persecution of me" in July, 1916, was the statement of the de fendant. The couple were married in Riverside, CaL, the following Sep tember. Early Hour Call Denied. Efforts of Mr. Goldstein to show that there had been another disap pointed candidate for the affections of the present Mrs. Whiting or that the doctor had called at an early hour of the morning brought forth a denial.

The deposition was preliminary to Actual hearing of the suit. Mrs. Iva Whiting was in court several weeks ago asking that support money for herself and two sons be increased ta $300, but was granted only about hall of this sum.
