Later Mr.. Rody was recalled and
testified there might been some liquor,
in the house; in fact he thought there
was.
Mrs. Rody and Mrs. Boyle told much
the same story. Mrs. Rody asserted
she was not drunk and that the Off
GERS and the reporter had borne false
witness against her. They, too, set up
the story of the argument as to the
Beers and the Filipinos to explain the
loud talking.
In rebuttal another Standard repor-
ter, who had seen Mrs Rody in Jail
after the arrest, testified to her drunk
en- condition.
Judge Kennedy, on motion OF Mr..
Sawyer, discharged Mrs. Boyle before
the case went to the jury. The jury
was out about 10 minutes. When it
delivered Its verdict Mr.. Sawyer asked
that sentence be passed at once.
Judge Kennedy delivered scorching
lecture to Mrs. Rody in sentencing her
to three months in jail. You say you
are respectable said he, "but you
are worse than the lowest hussies in
town" He condemned her in severe
band, who had done what he could to
provide for her even after their di-
vorce.
This aroused Mrs Rody, who turned
the walls Of her wrath upon Mr.. Rody.
You lied when you said you did not
drink at my house Sunday night. You
did drink and you beat me-" she shout
ed in her anger. Then she went below
