In the Peyton Home, Is Askeil
I on llnrii Stand, iui to Ilc-
Inttona with Tlieiu. 1 1
t When Lucille Prescott. former mala In
ihe Ixicey B. Peyton homo, was con
fronted with a copy of a lint of name
of men, tome of whom are well known in
Omaha, compiled by her several years
ago, and required to say on her oath
whbther she had been Intimate with the
hitn as they were named one by one, a
Climax was reached In the Lacey- E. Pty.
Ion 140.009 suit against Hugh W. WlUlams
jfor alleged alienation of tho affections
jot his wlto never surpassed in the most
Sensational melodrama.
The young woman, who gave her aire as
years, was put through an ordeal
which finally caused her to break Into
tears. After a battle desperately fought
by opposing lawyers. Judge Day ruled
tjiat the questions asked by the defense
were competent for Impeaehlnr tho char
acter of the witness.
Roll la Called.
The names were called on by one. To
each qusatlon whether she had been In
timate with the men named, she answered
('No," until the tenth name was called.
Then she hunt ber head and declined' to
answer. Insistence caused her to .break
Into tears and a short recess ot court
was taken. Judge Day then adtvaed her
that she might decline to answer only on
the ground that she might Incriminate
herself by doing so.
When the name was called again she
Whispered that an answer tntgnt In
criminate tier sad that she refused to
Answer on that ground. She made a
.similar response when half a doxen other
names were called and In other Instanoes
made dentals. When first names were
not given she Insisted that she did not
know who was referred to.
The court room was crowded. From the
ijlme the first witness, M1m Ruth deddea,
testified that she had been hired by
Joudlle Preeoott And Looey B. Peyton to
berjura herself In deposition taken In
Sioux City the testimony has been re
ttlete with statements of Interest to sen-iatlon-eekera
and the number of spec
tators hie Increased dolly.
- Employed na Atald. i
Miss Presoott on direct examination
testified that Hugh W. Williams, well-!
to-do boiler maker, hod been often at the
Peyton home In the absence of Mr, Pey
ton, saying- that while employed an a
ViiiA by Mrs. Peyton she had witnessed
Mr. WlUlams visits.
Attorneys for William sought to show
that Miss Prescott's character was Im
moral; that she had been too friendly
wither. Peyton; that she had an Interest
In testifying In Mr. Peyton's behalf, and
that she had Induced" Miss deddes to
give false testimony.
The original list , of names was In a
small book -which Miss Prescott acclt
dentally left at the Peyton home and
of which Mrs. Teyton gained possession.
When Miss Prescott testified for Mr.
Peytoir rn divorce salt which was
thrown out of court by Judge Kenr.ee on
the ground that neither party had clean
(lands, this same list showed up.
