Yesterday Mrs. william Hart had her
husband arrested for threats, as told in
The Morning Times, and today she re
gretted her action. The Harris are not the
most congenial of married people, but the
wife's love for her husband is stronger
than her feeling of injury, and she told
Assistant District Attorney Jeffords this
morning she could not prosecute Hart, and
on her request the case was nolle pressed.
