y WIRES TESTIMONY INADMIssIBLE-
When the case of Aug Puschell, charged
with forging his wife's name as an indorse-
ment on draft sent her, and the collecting
and approprlating the money to his own
use, came up in the Police Court Yesterday.
Judge Henry rendered a decision of the
point taken under Amusement by him
when the case was being examined a few
days ago, rs to the admissibility of Mrs.
PuschelIs testimony against her husband.
He decided that il was not admissible the
provisions of the Code being very explicit
against it. The case was then further con-
unued until tomorrow, when the prosecu-
ton expect to be able to have the defendant
held to answer on the other evidence in
their possession. As Mrs. Puschell has
attached the money, she will probably Sc
cure II whether a case is made to stick
against her husband or not
