Efforts to Save Foster, The MUIR.
deTeT.


Bartlett, in the Foster case, who will pray
this morning to Judge Ingraham, in the
Supreme Court, TO stay the proceedings
has prepared vOluminous bill oil eXCep'
tions, which has been printed. Exceptions
are taken to Judge CardozOs refusal to
allow Mrs. Foster to testify in behalf Of
her husband. One OF the main points on
which he relies is that Mr. Stuart insists
that the statutes relating to marital rGla-
tiOns and the law allowing the prisoner to
testify in his own behalf, inlerentially
provide that husband and wife may testify
for each other, inasmuch rs tOr the pur.
poses Of the law they are regarded as
separate, not one but two. The question
Of intent Is also one of Mr.. Stuart's strong
points.
