ry of Max Browns visit to the Brown

motives of delicacy she went TO a hO-

against her on that occasion about 9TH

ands of times.
The witness remembered sticking
Brown with an umbrella and knock

sive. His teeth were shells. She de-
MED that she had threatened to kill
him. This closed the cross examina-
