everything about his business. He was
before Judge Wilcox yesterday to an

because of this desire for secrecy. Boyd
was accused of striking Thomas jack

care of for some time past.
According to the statement of Boyd
his wife had inquired of the boy If
there were any women customers who
visited Boyd's restaurant and the boy
had replied two or three" when Mrs.
Boyd taxed her husband with Willing
away his time with women he became
so incensed that he proceeded to slap
the woman's informant. In passing up
on the case Judge Wilcox said I'VE
can't have this thing. If you had not
desired to keep your wife in ignorance
of those customers there would have
been no occasion for your hitting this
boy"
But Judge" interrupted Boyd "the
boy is under my jurisdiction and care
and l think l have done more for him
than his own father ever has"

place to hitch the horse. Besides he
trusted the animal. Judge Wilcox said
that he did not know which was the
most foolish the horse or the man who
trusted the horse. In passing sentence
