The testimony brought out the fact
that Mr.. Montgomery owed his wife
some money, but not the equivalent of
the transfer.
Having looked over the letter with refer
enoe to the remark about the dress,
Judge McCarty overrulsd the objection
previously mace and the witness there
upon answered that he could not tell

Memorial church in the evening. Her
husband went home during the after
noon. Tie attorney asked about what
she had eaten and this was objected to,
the judge not being abba to zee anything
material in the evidence Mr. Sterling
said he wanted to show that there was
pCssibls attempt to poison Mrs. Mont
gomery by giving her flee, which was
untouched by all Others, and the result
being that Mrs. Montgomery was taken
sick suddenly sfGerward. The evidence
was objected to aud the objection sus-
tained, and exception noted. Judge Nc
