 Colonel Cody related many instances of his wife hurniliating him at his for mer home in North Platte by her con- duct towards his guests.
 She drove my friends away he said. When they were no longer welcome in the handsome residence built and elaborately furnished. it was no longer my home.'
 The witness recited many specific in stances of his wife's alleged discourtesy to his guests.
 Mrs. Cody's counsel inquired into the character of the guests to whom she ob- jected and into their conduct while in her home. The purpose of the inquiry was to show that the men whom he brought to the house were fast and riotous set and behaved in such a man. ner that she had right to object to them.
