Taggart said he didn't reprove his
wife merely because the talk an
noyed him, but he objected to her
drinking at all. He said when he lived
at Fort Thomas he believed everything
his wife said. He began to doubt

he first reproved her at a cotillion at

said: II thought Fortescue and Mrs
Taggart when they came from the
cellar, looked guilty. Both were flush
ed apparently not from drink alone"
He said he told his wife that night
that he thought she was more inti-
mate with Fortescue than she had
led him to believe.
When court adjourned for noon
luncheon the cross examination ap-
peared not to be half through, and 1t
will probably last through Tuesday.
This morning nothing new was ad-
duced. The questions had led at the
recess to the incident when Taggart
is accused of tearing off his wife's
clothes and bruising her face at Fort
Leavenworth This is the incident
which caused her confinement in the
hospital and finally their separation.
The cross examination this after
noon turned to Mrs. Taggart's visit
to Washington. He said he did not
send his wife to Washington to pre-
vent his detail from Fort Thomas to
Leavenworth, although the detail was
nrevented. He said he did not OBJ
iect to the change, but his wife did
not want to leave Fort Thomas. He
said he did not promise to give her
diamond ring if she prevented the de-
tail.
