 | As soon as MT. Jerome had finished reading the affidavit he turned to the court and said: 1 'The people rest" l Mir. Delmas at once produced large book and a score or more of docu- I ments. M T offer in evidence the record of | the conviction of Abraham Hummel,' | he said.
 l 'No objection" said MT. Jerome. | MT. Delmas then read the indictment | against Hummel charging him with the Dodge-Morse divorce tangie. Passing | from the indictment, MT.
