in self defense. DR.. Burroughs testi-
fled that he had examined Mrs.

one of her arms. DR.. Mcintosh testi-
fled in his defense that his wife had
approached him with uplifted arms

flannel shirt. The DR.. then held out
his arms and she ran into his open hand
and her neck rested between his thumb

laid her down gently in order that he
might extricate his arm, which she
held between her teeth. The jury
found the defendant guilty and he was
fined one dollar and the cost of
prosecution.
