SHE SAYS SHE HAS BEEN DUTIFUL
AND FAITHFUL WIFE.

Charges Against Her by the Hus-

Green-cyed Monster and Mngnifies
the Accusation Against Her.
The Daley case was continued in the su-
perior court yesterday.
Mrs. Daley, the plaintiff ir the suit for
alimony against the husband, was the
chief witness
She was put up by her counsel in re-
buttal of testimony which had been ad-
vanced by the defense.
She denied all of the statements which
had been made to the effect that she had
violated any of her marriage vows. She eX-
planned all of the accusations which had
been made by her husband ana stated that
while she had made several visits 20 the
seacoast since he has been away from her
she has never done anything that was un-
Iadylike and in violation of her marriage
vows She stated that her conduct ON the
various parties to Tybee and other resorts
was nothing more than what other mar
ried ladies have the privilege Of enjoying
She stated I'm denial Of the statements
which had been made that she had never
had any boistorous conduct on the part OF
young men at her house since her hus-
band had gone away from her and that
while she had allowed several parties at
her house they were for the mutual en-
joyment of her guests, the two young la
dies at her house herself and the young
men who had come TO participate in the
enjoyment of the occasions.
The testimony was pretty much the same
as had been presented the day before in
the trial and the case had no new features.
After the testimony was all in the
case went to the jury with the speeches Of
the attorneys. The first lawyer to speak
was Mr. Smith for the plaintiff. He was
associated in the case with Mr.. Stubbs'
and while he had taken no part whatever
in the questioning of the witnesses, he
was the first speaker in the arguments.
He made a forceful speech, after reading
the law that the plaintiff would rely
upon His speech reviewed the testimony
of the witnesses and showed that the wo-
man had not been shown guilty by the
testimony that had been adGuced. He
went on to emphasize that it was Jealousy
and nothing else which influenced the hus-
band to think his wife guilty of being dis
loyal 70 him.
After Mr.. Smith Mr. Richards spoke for
the defendant. He showed that there
was testimony against the wife sufficient
TO uphold the fears of the husband that
she was not a true and dutiful wife. He
stated that she had, according to the tes-
timony of one of the young women, who
had resided in the house with her, allowed
a young man, the alleged correspondent,
to stay with her in the house all night.
1t was true that the same witness on
the cross questioning had stated that she
did not believe Mrs. Daley guilty of hav-
ing done anything wrong II she had
thought there was Illicit relations between
her and the young man in question she
would have left the place. But she sw0re
that she had seen the young man go to
the private room of Mrs. Daley, and had
seen him the next morning at the house
and that he took breakfast there
Mr.. Richards made a clear and fOrcefui
speech bringing out all the testimony for
the husband. and making some severe
charges against the wife.
The case will come up again this morn
ing at 10 o'clock, and the other lawyers
in the case will speak. Judge Harden will
argue for the defense, and Mr. Stubs
will close for the plaintiff. The case has
awakened much interest, ana il is prob
able that there will be large crowds to
hear the closing speeches. The case Will,
no doubt, reach the jury before noon. and
IL is quite likely that a verdict VIII be
rendered before the close Of the day
session, unless a mistrial is declared by
the court.
