Answering Questions
In Court.

The Salt Lake Tribune prints several
columns of the preliminary hearing in
the Hines case Tuesday morning, from
wh...l we extract the testimony of the
wife, as follows:
Judge Powers first interrogated the
witness. In reply to his questioning,
Mrs. Hynds related the story of Sun
day morning from the time when her
husband knocked at the door for ad-
mittance.
Was there anyone else in the house
at the time?" asked Judge Powers.
After a pause. but in distinct tones,
clearly enunciated. the reply came:
There was"
who was it,"
Waited Dinwoodey."
Where were you when o heard
the knock?"
In bed"
with whom"
There succeeded a long pause, dur
ing which the most intense stiffness
passed the gathering in the dingy little
room. After a time Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney Harrington remarked
that the question was privileged, and
Judge Powers Joined in to explain to
the witness she need not answer unless
she chose to do SO.
Judge Wenger asked Mrs. Hynds if
she wished to answer the question, and
she nodded negatively.

Mrs. Hynds was unable to reply, and

sued the judge. but still no answer
