COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
Wood Assault Case Taken From the Jury.
Couple Will Live Apart

Couple Will Live Apart
TAUNTON, Mass, Nov. Sy.-Sanford l.
Wood of North Attleboro was placed on
trial Saturday charged with assault on
his wife, Mary Fl. Wood, with intent To
murder. The first witness was the wife,
who detailed in a free and easy manner
the awakening on the morning of Sept 81,
and how she felt when two strange hands
fumbled about her face. and left behind
some nasty stuff which burned her
mouth and nose and made her eyes smart.
The story OF the disagreement Of the
husband and wife was told by Mrs. Wood
in substance, but there had been estrange.
ment for year because of a woman In
Pawtucket. Mr.. Miller, father OF Mrs
Wood, testified that when he talked with
his son-in-law about the manner In which
he was using his wife Wood had said: Il
think moro Of my wifs's little finger than
! do Of the other woman"
When this statements was made the court
was disposed TO rule out letters which the
husband had written to his wife. and which
were alleged to contain pleas that she
would consent to divorce on the ground
that the utterance made by him to the
father-in-law contained nothing but ex-
pressions Of love for his wife.
Sanford also sid to his father-in-law
that 'he had married the Caswell woman,
and there was no help for anything hut a
divorce" The case had gone thus far
when Mr.. Wood, his wife, her father and
Mr.. Woods counsel were conducted to an
anteroom and conference indulged In.
the result OF which was announced later
on by District Attorney Knowlton, who
stated that compromise had been ef.
fected, and asked that the case be with.
drawn.
This was ordered by the conrt and the
case was ended. Mr.. Miller stated after.
ward that the couple had decided to live
apart, but that Wood would contribute a
satisfactory amount toward the support of
his vytfa
