He had been drinking for some time and at the time of his arrest he was drunk enough to make a disclosure which was more or less startling for Mrs. Cline is well connected in this vicinity.
 He said that she was not his wife at all but that he had wife living in Tennessee from whom he had not been divorced. He had cloped with the so-called Mrs. Cline when she was quite youngand they had had three children. All this was ad- mitted and then it was brought out how much the woman had endured from her drunken husband who ever since their first baby was born had threatened to expose their true rela- tiOns. She had tried to be a helpful wife to him and performed the hard est drudgery such as cooking for a travelling threshing outfit for which he worked to help him along in the world and all the time she was weighted down with a fear that some time in one of his drunken periods he would make the exposure and then would leave her to take care of the three babies they had brought into the world. That time finally came.
