berg had D. I. Ames, furniture dealer,
arrested on a charge of adultery with
Mrs. Lindberg. 1t was contended by the
attorneys for Ames that the complaint
was not valid, as the original law says
The complaint must be made by the hus-
eand or wife of the accused. Mrs. Ames
lid not make the complaint, and Lind
berg did notfmake his wife a defendant
N his complaint, so the case was dis
missed on the introduction of a certified
.opy Of the original law, which is slight

pended. This makes it so 10 arrest
:ould be made of a single man guilty
If adultery. The law will be one of
hose amended at the next session Of
