On the stand Mrs. Taylor confessed
that she bought the bottle of strvchnine,
but said her husband requested her to
get it. She had not been Indifferent to
her husband during his illness. She con-
fessed that she kissed Jim Dix several
times and sat on his knees, but her hlls-
band knew all about il and did the same
thing with both married and single
women. She had never been guilty Of
immoral conduct with Jim Dix. She
had hugged and kissed several of the
men who had testified against her, giv-
ing their names, and said il was a kiss

turned TO the jury and said, "God knows
am telling the truth" Mrs. Taylor's
evidence concluded the testimony in the
