writing only is employed at the Bryl-
gon plant and lives in Williams street.
7 His wife is a white woman who pro-
fesses to be deaf and dumb, although
liz Is said that when the occasion re-
qulres she can talk freely.
The Thomas woman when testifying
as to Entys alleged offense, produced
a note written by him TO her i'm which
/ ne called her the big black woman"
and stated that unless she let him alone
he would kill her. She said that the
trouble originated over a quarrel be-
tween her children and Enty's.
Enty i'm giving his testimony wrote 1t
{ on a slip of paper His writing is clear
hut his sentences are not connected,
making them liable to be misconstrued.
AS an evidence of Mrs. Enty's ability
to talk when she so desires, when Off
Ger Harrington went 10 her home to
arrest her husband she made signs in
dicating that she could not speak or
hear and Offered him pencil and paper.
Enty was out and the officer waving
aside the writing material told the wo-
man that unless she informed him
when her husband would be at home

words when she expected her husband

ny after the steel plant began opera
tions.
BOWLING TEAM MAY DISBAND.

lTeam will disband and drop out OF the
linter-city race. 1t has played twelve
lgames and lost all. New Castle was
scheduled to play az Chester last
Thursday but failed to sho wup. conse-
lquently the Chester team was credited
with three forfeit games. Manager
king Of the local club does not feel il
lust to allow other clubs to increase
their percentages by his team failing
to play as scheduled.
