The Prosecutor then moved the case
OF the State VS.. Sarah Munyon and How
ard b. Tyler, and moved that they be
tried separately.
Ex-Judge Westcott, one of the counsel
for Miss Munyon, thought this a new
way OF procedure, and asked the reasons
for it.
Mr.. Logue said his reasons for this was
that he understood since this suit was
brought, one of the defendants had been
married and in this case wife could not
testify against her husband.
Judge Hoagland allowed that they be
tried separately and jury was empan-
elled. The State challenged six Jurors
and the defense challenged ten. Horace
hllburn is foreman of the jury.
Prosecutor Logue opened the case and
stated to the jury that on the 18th day of
last January, Sallie Munyon performed
an abortion on Agnes Katz and then
went on and told the circumstances of the
same to the jury.
Agnes hatz was sworn, but before she
was asked to testify the Prosecutor asked
the defense to produce the letter written
by Tylerto Miss Munyon, but the defense
mad no such letter, and then the defense
asked for papers and checks the State
| had. These were produced.
Prosecutor Logue began to ask the wifi
ness where she lived, and she answered.
| just then L. w. Trenchard, one of the
counsel for the defence, said he wanted to
ask the witness some questions. He
| asked:
| what is your name?"
Agnes Tyler" replied the witness.
"Who is your husband?"
"Howard B. Tyler"
"Stand up, please, Mr.. Tyler" said Mr..
| Trenchard.
Turning to the witness, Mr.. Trenchard
asked, SIS this your husband
Yes, SIR"
when were you married ?"
'1Sth of last September
"By whom?"
IA minister in Salem"
These were all the questions asked her
! by Mr.. Trenchard.
Then he pleaded that a wife had no
right nor could she testify against her
husband and quoted from eminent
authority on the subject.
Prosecutor Logue thought differently.
| and the case went on.
