his brown-skinned wife, who has earned
the living for the couple for some time
past by washing and doing odd jobs at
nursing etc. White confessed on the wit

the county Jail. Mrs. White says that she
is very sorry that her husband was 80 Sc

peace. He hanged himself by testifying
before the "cote" as he did. The couple
have lived together seven years, and never
before have appeared in court.
