PLATONIC LOVE.

SIR J. M. SCOTT’S WILL. LADY SACKYILLE’S influence. [ By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] j United Press Association.] London, Juno 28. The evidence to-day chiefly went to show the influence! exerted on Sir John by Lady Sackvillo Sir E. Carson sharply cross-ex-amined Alicia on the destroying of her brother’s letters and papers. She admitted that Sir John gave the two sisters £IO,OOO in 1899, and later they received the interest'on £IOO,OOO and half the residuary of the estate; also the pictures and furniture at the Connaught place, which this week fetched £IIO,OOO at auction. She admitted that Sir John was thoroughly sane and able to fish and shoot and enjoy himself.

Sir E. Carson, cross-examining Walter Scott, elicited that the family did not accuse Lad}' Sackville of immorality. The cross-examination suggested that Walter fell in love with Lady Sackville, but feared to tell Sir John. Soon after Walter had an attack of brain fever, and kept crying for Lady Sackville in his delirium. Walter denied this.
