Show WHERE JUSTICE REIGNS. The Sensational Harvey Divorce Case Still on Trial. SHE HAS AN INHERITED APPETITE. That is What the Defense Claims Mrs. Harvey's Desire for Liquor Is Before Judge Bartch Court Notes. The trial of the divorce case of Barney C. Harvey vs. Amelia D. Harvey was again the star attraction in the courts today. There was quite a large attendance of spectators, and the proceedings were somewhat sensational. sensa-tional. The evidence for the plaintiff was resumed with Alex Grant on the stand, and he was followed by George Walton, AVilliam Davis and William Miller, all of whom testified to Mrs. Harvey's intemperate habits and cited instances. William Davis, a barkeeper at the Yellow Front' saloon, testified to having sold her drinks. This closed the evidence for the plaintiff, and the defense began be-gan by calling Mrs. Harvey. She is a middle aged English woman and gave her testimony in the most positive manner, the while glaring at Mr. Harvey, who sat by the wituess box listening attentively. She claimed that her appetite for liquor was inherited, in-herited, her motherhaving been a drunkard at the time the wi'.uess came into this world. She also claimed that Mr. Harvey knew of her weaknesses before he married her, and since theu had furnished her with liquor. A portion of this testimony was stricken out. and the witness not allowed to testify as to Mr. Harvey's misconduct. Mr. Dickson took the position that Mr. Harvey trid to reform his wife, and that even if he knew she was addicted to drink before be married her,' he had tried to reform re-form her since, and his knowledge did not extenuate her or operate against him, Judge Powers, calling attention to the testimony tes-timony that the plaintiff had given the defendant de-fendant liquor, inquired if this information was on the homeopathic "similia sitnilbm curniter" plan, but there was no answer. Mrs. Harvey is being cross-examined by Mr. Dickson this atternoon, and Dr. Groves of the Keeley institute, will probably be called by the defense to testify as an expert in regard to the appetite for liquo beiu a disease and hereditary.
