County Attorney Stapleton objected
to the form of the question on the
ground that ii was not based on the
evidence, as required by the law. He
said there was nothing in the evidence
about adulterous intercourse between
Baptiste and the Casino woman. and
there was nothing in the testimony to
show that Baptiste was the husband of
the defendant, while on the contrary
the testimony was that Baptiste made
a dying declaration that she was not
his wife. and neither was there any
thing in the evidence that the defen-
dant attempted suicide in Jail after her
arrest.
The defendants attorneys agreed to
eliminate all matters from the ques
tion not included in the evidence. but
before the witness could answer the
question the court adjourned for the
noon recess.

important duties OF the new Legislature will he
that OF making needed amendments to the
Primary Reform law. The act has purified the
primary elections in many ways. but its authors
recognize the fac. that IT has defects. and these
they will endeavor to by legislative action.
4 circular letter has been issued by Ehu
Rect, Paul D. Cravath and William II. Hotch-
kiss. soliciting the opinions Of men OF every
political faith in regard TO needed amendments.
Mr.. Hotchkiss has expressed desire that these
letters be addressed to him at No. $40 Main
ST., Buffalo. He was one OF the men who framed
the Primary Reform law. and. therefore. has
special personal interest in IL. He has had
conference with Governor-elect Roosevelt on
the subject Of primary reform, and has received
assurances Of Mr. Roosevelts cordial wish that
an act may be formulated which shall greatly
improve the method OF boiling primaries.
Mr. Hotchkiss holds that the present act Is
complicated and cum5rous in Its operation and
he especially objects to there being two official
primaries in the years when a Governor is 70

June and one in September. Governor Black
suggested this double Darrelled primary system,
and the primary refCrmers accepted II, although
they did not like IT, In practice. Mr.. Hotchkiss
says the June primary has proved useless, con-
fusing and expensive, and II is his opinion, as
well as that Of many other ballot reformers, that
II should lie abolished In his judgment, II Is
said there should be only one primary DAY,
The objection Is made however, mat III mere

would prevent the adoption Of the Primary Re-
