man Of powerful physique and unusual stat
ure. who scowled nercely at her. except during
frequent intervals. when he drank deeply
from = flask Of whiskey. Immediately after
one Of his prolonged pulls at the flask he would
turn toward his wife and glare At her with re-
doubled animosity. This went on until the
train approached Newark. and then he varied
the programme BY covsrtly kicking the wo-

violently with his elbow. On several occasions
che gasped with pain az he pinched her arms
and crowded her against the window. and
finally. the tears began 20 run down her
cheeks. But she Razed steadfastly before
her and did not utter . word. Once In

effect OF rendering him more brutal Several

The struggle going on for the equal rights OF

yesterday In the Lawyers Club between two
well-known criminal lawyers. The case OF the
Buffalo man who loaded two shot guns. and.
handing one to his wife. requested her to fight
q duel with him. led to the discussion. The
duel ended in the precipitate flight Of the

talked about here. The Western press at
present is In what might be called "a state Of

them which are printed are as weird and as
