The remainder of tho aftornoon waa taken up with the offering of dopo tltlon of wltncue taken In Seattle prior to this tlmo and In order to avoid tho expenae of bringing the wltneaaea nere. The hotel record of 1916 and 19K from the White 1'ollcan hotol woro brought Into court to refute the teatlmony of Mra. Anita Laboroo that aha and Mr. Lahore had occupied room on different floora of the hotel at tho different time that tbey atop ped there prior to their marriage. The rocorda of tho hotel ahowed that they occupied adjoining rooms on tho umo floor. A lengthy deposition of former United States Senator Qcorgo Tur ner of Waahlngton waa road. The attorney lor the plaintiff believed that the promlnenco of Mr. Turner and of hi high standing lent weight to the atatemont contained therein. Senator Turner wa formerly a member of the Alaskan boundary commission, and haa been Identified with national affair for a long period of year. In hi deposition ho stated that O. O. Laberee, the deceased, had spoken to him of hla fear of 'criminal prosecution by the parenta of Anita Laurence the woman who later becrimo hla wife for violation of the Mann act la traveling from one atate to another with her aa man and wife; that he waa thinking seriously of securing a divorce and marrying the woman to aave hlmaelf from the peniten tiary. Counael'a reason for latre- duclng-thla deposition vmm toko that Mr. Laberee acted from the beginning under duresa and from fear of possible prosecution and the consequent disgrace to hla family. Numerous other depositions were read Into tho record, among which wcro two by prominent Hoattlo phy sicians, both of whom had treated tho docedent. Tho testimony wa sup posed to ,bo of an expert nature, to show that pcoplo suffering from certain dlsenscs aro often' affected mentally and In a large number of case wind up In Instltu tlons for the Insane. Tho Idea of this testimony wa to show tho probability that Mr. Labereo was not In hi right stnto or mind at tho tlmo bo mado his will and In which he bequeathed everything to tho second Mrs. Laboroo. Numerous other deposition were road, Including that of a boll boy In the 8avoy hotel In Seattle, all of hwteh was Intended to establish that Mr. Laboroo and Anita l4vur enfej iwore living together almost con stantly for a long tlmo before ho wuh divorced from his first wife.
