Judge Kimball in 5000 real estate bonds to
keep the peace toward Mr.. George W.
Barknan contractor. Judge Kimball was
at first disposed to allow Mrs. Williams
release on her personal bonds. but she re-
fused to give her word that she would
rot break the peace, and the real estate
bond was required.
Mr.. Barkman testified that he was en-
ployed by the owner of a house next to

build party wall, and to do SO it was
Williams house. She got out an injunc-
ton TO prevent this. but this was dismissed
Friday last. Mr. Barkman then proposed
to begin the Improvement, but was met
by Mrs. Williams with the threat that she
would kill the first man who removed a
brick from the wall. Mr.. Barkman decid-
ed to do nothing in the matter that day.
and waited until Monday, when he again
went back to his work. Again Mrs. Will
Jams threatened to kill the first man who
dared to begin to tear down the wall, and
Mr. Barkman then decided to invoke the
aid of the law
About noon bail was furnished for Mrs.
Williams and she was released from ar
rest
While waiting for the arrival of the
bondsman Mrs. Williams became hysteri-
cal and had to be removed from the court
room on stretcher and was given medi-
cal attention.
