sUDSE NELSON'S REPLY
Following is Judge Nelson's reply:
Nrx Ttsaa. am directed BY Chief Judge Nell
N TO return your letter as il cannot be read 10
curt. Also to state that in civil cases, counsel
ave the right TO refraiu from calling a particular
illness. however competent; that ueiiher Court
or elieui can Interfere with the exercise Of that
GIT. The Judge also iustruets me to say that the
iesiion whether you eoald be witness stands on
liie another ground from that considered when
,ar husband was called and sworn. He was
,mpstent witness to testify in his behalf against
ind person Ohe defendsntl, and while tie policy
the law was to some extent involved, there was
express statute in the way but the statute Of May
!, 1851, EXPIRE ssly declares s wife to be iueompe-
ut as witness for or sgainst her husband.
Yours very respectfully,
