My husband is in the habit of drink
ing too much. During eight months
from the first of last January, 1
know of his getting liquor at the
Anchor Saloon. l cannot state ex-
actly how many times 1 saw him go
in and out there. 1t would be within
the truth to say fifty times. Some
times it would be morning, noon and
night, and during forenoon and
afternoon. knew he was drink
ing there, for he would come home
perfectly sober, go out as if going
to the bakers, stop at the saloon,
and when he would come back,
would smell of liquor. Sometimes
he would come home intoxicated.
He would be angry when spoken to
about it. Sometimes he would have
so many drinks that he would hardly
be able to get home. l saw him
drinking at the Anchor Saloon on
the night of the doughnut party in
the Bethel, about the first of April.
This was after l had forbidden them
selling him liquor. When he came
home from work, I asked him if he
would go to the party. He agreed
to go, and went out twice and came
back. He had been drinking. The
third time he went out followed
him. He went into the Anchor
Saloon. l could see him standing
at the bar, drink, set his glass down
and pay for it. When we came
back, we could not go to church be-
cause he was intoxicated. He started
to 60 out, said he was going to the
saloon, and said, "You must not
follow me, if you do I'll murder
YOU" 81 have forbid them," L
said. He pushed me into the house
and tried to fasten the door. He
struck me, knocked me into chair
and held me there. Mrs. Angus
came in and separated us. carried
the marks of his hands on my wrists
for several days. The second time
l saw him drinking in the Anchor
Saloon was about the 23rd or oath
of April. He started out to go to a
store, but went round to the saloon.
l found him there drinking with two
other gentlemen at the bar. i was
spending the evening with Mrs.
Deshon. Went back there. When
Mr.. Jackson come out, he was not
able to find his way home. found
him back of the Bay Horse Saloon.

me. He was so drunk he could
hardly stand. He was in helpless
condition. l got him home and got
him to bed. The next occasion was
the night before Queen Emma's
