MATTERS COMING TO A HEAD
The fact that II mad been ascertalnsd that the bond

one OF those stolen, was sold IN the OF his
wife, led Mr.. Harris to investigate the matter
ordinary way, and without the aid o detectives in

sented took place IN this town to-day ana she was

$4,000. The nother.ln-laW 0l Harris who Is charged
with the larceny OF the silverware as well as the
bonds, Will be examined on Thursday.
THE EXCITEMENT IN FOXBORO.
AS may be supposed this affair has created the
most Intense excitement ID this little town. Al the
examination to-day the Town Han was filed IN
every part, and great many We're unable to gain
admtance Ladies formed a large part ol the
listeners, and the whole audience was made up OF
the very best c.tizens. Mrs. Denton-ta. gaunt ana
not "aitOgether lovely"-was, OF course, the OBJ
served OF all, and those who could not get a near
view came provided with opera glasses. Her hus-
band. the Professor Was present, but kept remarka
bly, shady during the proceedings, as did, also, Har
rls' wife and his mOther-in-law. Mr.. Harris, who
was the first witness called. was on the stand
couple OF hours, and then came of his brothers,
who told story OF about an hours length. John c.
Park, of RoxDury, who conducted the defence, made
searching crosse Aamnation, aud caused both wit.
nesses TO lose their temper and appear ridiculous.
POSSIBLE LEGAL COMPLICATIONS.
II the case Is not fixed up'' before going before
the superior Court some important legal questions
Will have to be decided, 1t s common law that hus-
band and wife cannot appear against each other In
court Now, the theory is that the bonds were
taken by Mrs. Harris herself, and that her mother
in-law and Mrs Denton were accessories. II, there
fore. II is decided that Mrs. darrls cannot be con-
victed or the theft then no crime appears, and, OF
course, II there has been no crime there can be no
accessories 10 a crime. 1t seems to be Of those
cases where law and justice are somewhat tncon-
sStent.
MRS. HARRIS AFTER A DIVORCE.
This whole case Is made more interesting by the
TACT that Mrs. Harris Is now struggling for divorce
The cause alleged for application Is cruelty, the
specification being that she has been beaten by him
and that he has been cruel to the children but the
TACT that the latter were glad to him the other
day throws shadow OF improbability upon the
charge. Even II he has been cruel TO his wife he
seems to have been generous towards her. for in May
last ne decided her an s., 600 house, and
saws he is willing to take her back to his bosom and
give her the bonds II she VIII only tell him what
knows about them.
