laundry wagon were the scene of a
great mix-up." Mr.. Monsch. the wit
ness deposed, was trying to get away
from his wife, who was welding the
whip with all the dexterity of an
experienced hostler.
Mr.. Monsch testified that once he
entered the Marmon flats in Mime.
apolts, here his wife was stopping,
and that she poked a gun at his face
and threatened to shoot him If he did
not behave.

asked for Mrs. Monsch," said Mr..
Monsch. "She came down and told
me to get out of there Immediately.
She told me to clear out or she would
blow my brains out. Elizabeth said
that she would send me to the peni.
Tertiary, and that she would pull me
out of bed at midnight that night,
with a warrant for my arrest"
