inss last Wednesday the officer it is stated,
told the court that mis- home was open TO
the wife, and he was willing TO receive her
again. Last evening she went to the house
where she had lived. and got into a fight
with Miss Burch. The result of the meet
ing was that Mrs Currents left eye was
cut and bruised and she left the prints of
her teeth in Miss Burch's finger When
the women appeared In court this morning
the officer was present to hear the testi-
mony concerning the conflict. Mrs. Curren
went on the stand and exhibited the eye
the condition of which was no better than
il was last night.
Incidentally she mentioned the troubles
between her husband and herself told of
what he had said under oath last week at
the trial. and said she went to the house
last evening to take possession of the home
and was met by Miss Burch, who attempt
ed to eject her. Miss Burch. she said.

said she went to the house to see her chill

she also took the children some clothing.
Miss Burch made an entirely different
statement or the affair. She said that Mrs
her, and that she struck Mrs. Curren with
her fist when the latter had her finger in
her mouth. Then Miss Burch mentioned a
visit to the house of man named King
and said she invited him there for Mrs
Curren, although at a former trial she stat
ed that she had invited him there without
the knowledge of Mrs Curren.
Then YOU told an untruth at the other
hearing? queried the court.
Yes, sir. she responded. Il was begged
so hard not to tell on Mrs. Curren thar i

Judge Kimball said she surely could not
be believed in this case so that all the tes-
tlmony in the case was that of Mrs Curren
The judge said he could not believe that the
injury TO Mrs. Currens eye was inflicted by
the other woman's fist. Mrs Curren, the
court said. had right to go to the house
of her husband, and the other woman had
no right TO put her out. Miss Burch was

wife was acquitted.
The young woman was unable TO paw the
