SUED HIM AND WENT HIS BAIL.

A Wffe's Devotion overcomes Her he-
sentiment at Her Husbands Cruelty.
The Magistrates of this city, especially
those who mete out justice to the criminals
in the southern section, have many queer
cases to deal with, says the Philadelphia
Times, but one which was heard before
Magistrate Fulmer presents many peculiar
features and deserves to be placed on
record as one of the most novel in the crln-
inal history of this city.
The case in question was that Of Harry
Rodgers, who was given a hearing on the
charge OF assault and battery. preferred by
his wife. Mrs. Rodgers testified against her
husband, claiming that he had brutally
belten her without any proyocation. Mag
istrate Fulmer, after hearing the evidence,
decided to hold Rodgers Ill 5000 Dali Tor MS
appearance III court
Up to this point the hearing was by no
means unusual, and was similar to those
which are every day presenting themselves :,
to the attention of the magistrate. AS Is
usual in such cases Rodgers was asked II he
had any one who would go bail for him.
He was about to answer that he knew OF no
one who would be kind enough to perform
such an Office when suddenly, to tue sur
prise of all present, Mrs. Rodgers, who had
sworn against her husband and on whose
testimony he was put under ball. stepped
up to the Magistrates desk and Offered to
60 bail for his appearance.
This, of course, greatly puzzled the Masls-
trate but as the woman satisfied him OF the
fact that she was property-owner he was
obliged to accept her as security. The bail
was entered, and husband and wife lett the
office together and no doubt will settle the
matter between themselves in such way
that il will not require the efforts OF the
court to adjust it.
