the lips of her husband the details of a

evidence against him was SO strong that he
pleaded guilty and served a two years
sentence. After his release he married and
has lived happily since. Until yesterday
Mrs. East was unaware of this event in
the past life of her husband and she broke
into violent tears at the recital The Easts
formerly lived in Indianapolis, and occupied
rooms adjoining Mrs. Madeline Boyle, the
plaintiff Ia the suit. Mrs. East was brought
mere to testify as to the conduct of Mrs.
Boyle while they were neighbOrs.
