starting for a drive. The infuriated
wife Ieaped from the carriage In which
she was driving and. snatching the
whip from Grosmann's rig. began be-
laborfng her husband over the mead
and shoulders. Her mother toiped In
the fray, using her parasol freely on
the person OF her son-in-law
jay leaped from the vehicle and ran
I'm doors. leaving Radway and Gros-
mann 10 pacify the women. This
was accomplished only after the wo-
men had been threatened with arrest on
a charge of assault IL they did not re-
tire quietly from the field OF battle.
After short Interview between Jay
and his wife through a side window OF
the Grosmann house, Mrs. Jay and her
mother consented TO return TO Bridge

CALLS THEM LIBELS.
Mrs. Jay said: !.
"The charges which my husband
make are malicious libels. i intend TO
make him pay dearly for saying such
things. never received any company
i'm his absence and he knows It. He de-
serves a good horsewhipping and
would have given to him IL all those
men hadn't overpowered me and taken
the whip away"

Mr.. Jay added a supplemental state
ment TO that made Monday. He said;
There is nothing for me 10 retract
in my former statement. regret to-
| days occurrence. but ! do not believe
my wife Is entirely 10 blame-it is her
mother egging her on. As far as an ap-
r,1,cation for almony is concerned, l do
not believe ID will be granted. MY In
come is dependent on my commissions,
and since the beginning OF this trouble
I have been so upset that have made
no money at all"
