if suffic mt, to Issue his warrant; that n
this ca the only witness examined WAS q
woman Who claimed 10 be the wife of the de
PENDANT. and taking her statement in this
regard - true, she was incompetent to give
such testimony, since Section 1929 of the
Penal Code provides that the wife
aud husband cannot testify against
each other except in cases of criminal vio-
lencs, ole upon the other; that therefore the
witness, upon whose testimony the warrant
was Is usd, could not legally testify, and that
the wagran5 was improperly issued upon her
testim n.y. The Judge sustained the objec-
ton, and Mr.. Landes was thereupon dis
chargc J. Another complaint was, however,
