The Charge Against MI. Quantrell Dis
missed.
The case against w. B. Quantrell, who
was arrested Tuesday evrning by Detec-

his wife, was dismissed in the police
court yesterday on motion of the prose-
cution. 1t will be remembered that he
was charged with inflicting bodily chas-
tisement upon his wife and with at
tempting to force her to drink from a
bottle of whisky.
In his own defense at the trial yester.
day Mr.. Quantrell stated that he had
been married about four years, and that
during that time his wife had developed
a chronic case of dipsomania. All ef-
forts at reformation had been futile.
Mrs. Quantrell was also summoned as a
witness, but positively refused to testify
against her husband. Sympathy for the
accused's deplorable surroundings Sc
cured the dismissal of the charge.
