CRUEL Mr.. GRAHAM.
His Wife Tells Vice Chancel-
lor Stevenson a Sorry
Tale of Woe.

Mrs. Elizabeth p Graham of Ruther-
ford, this morning, before Vice Chancel-
lor Stevenson. repeated her story thai
her husband, John ]. Graham. whom she is
suing for divorce, tried to make her
drink cup of coffee which she thinks
was poisoned. They were married Octo-
Der /, 1856, and have three sons. Graham
conducts a carpet weaving business.
Mrs. Graham said that her husband be-
gan to treat her cruelty early in 1900. In
July of that year he threw her on a
lounge and held a bottle of ammonia un-
der her nose until she was nearly suffo-
Gated. At another time, she said, he at
tackled her with chisel and drove her
from the house. On December 9, Mrs.
Graham testified, one of her sons told ner
he had seen his father put something in
cup of tea intended for her. When
Graham pushed the cup to her she refused
to drink the coffee and handed the cup
to her son. Graham snatched the cup
and said that if Mrs. Graham did not
drink the coffee no one should.
Did you have it analyzed?" asked a
lawyer.
Mrs Graham said she had not because
she could not afford the expense and did
not know the Prosecutor would have
it done if the evidence warranted. The
coffee was afterward thrown out. On
January l last Mrs. Graham said her
husband beat. kicked and choked her and
finally accused her of infidelity. 1t was
then they separated.
Mr.. Graham. having set up in his an
swer he was unable to pay his wife all
mony, Tax Assessor Roorbach of Ruther-
ford, was called TO prove his financial
condition. He testified that Graham own
ed two houses that were worth $S.C00 eacn
and also owned stock in the Rutherford
Bank, though he could not tell the ex-
act amount, as mis- records We're not at
hand
w. ]. Brewer, of Rutherford, testified
he had known Graham for twenty-eight
years. He was, he said, a queer man, but
a good provider. Didn't notice any III
treatment.
Graham himself testified and made a
general denial of i'll treatment of his
wife, With regard to the coffee episode
ne said sne complained of a cold, aid
ne put black pepper in her coffee and
said to her.
Here, Lizzie, it will keep you warm; l
prefer cayenne myself
His son by his first marriage, he said,
was forced to leave the house because of
Mrs Grahams continual nagging." Oh
one occasion she went at him with a
knife, he. said, and once she tried to bite
him.
''Occe sionally called her harsh names,
but as for persistently abusing her that
was false. Sometimes she was so abu-
sive put my tongue in my cheek and left
the house." be added.
Graham said that his wife admitted
that she had misconducted herself with
one Jack Richardson, and he said TO her:
For Gods don't mention that again
for the sake of the children.
On rebuttal Mrs. Graham said she de-
MED the confession of misconduct and
added that her husband refused to ac-
knowledge the paternity of his own
children Some of her testimony was of
an unprintable character.
The case will be continued tomorrow.
