looked on her as his piece Of propert
and NOT as his wife.
There was an argument over III
admissablity OF evidence as to wha
1 Mrs. Granbery had said 10 her abou
the defendant Mr.. smiser submitte,
authorities in support OF the State
+ contention. This evidence was sought
he said. to show the feeling existins
between CRANBERRY and his wife.
During the argument Mrs Long
the witness. left the chair.
Attorney General Garner followed
with strong argument for the com
potency Of evidence of what the wife
said to the witness. He Insisted that
the State had a right to show that
defendant did not live happily to
gether until her meeting with the de
ceased; that the State had right to
prove that the wife stated certain
things that prove that his conduct was
such that she even desired not to be
with him, all Of which occurred be-
fore she met Washington Long. The
State wants to show that the wife's
happiness had been destroyed long
before she met Washington Long, due
solely to the treatment of her hus-
band Of her.
Judge Anderson replied at length.
He said that the State had no right
to prove what Mrs. CRANBERRY said
about the feeling of her husband to-
ward her.
The Court sustained the defense's
objections Acknowledgement Garner
said there would be some other evil
dence along the same line, and the
Court remarked that the ruling was
not an iron clad one.
The witness said that CRANBERRY al
ways came home rather late that the
family would always be at the supper
table before he came; that he would
come in from the mines and take his
seat after the others would be seated.
That it was not true, that 1t was abb
solutely false, that he would come
home and find her son in his wife's
room Some sort of disturbance, wit
ness said would always follow GraD-
bery's visits, and, very much to her
embarrassment, she would be called |
In. to help settle or adjust these trou-
Dles. They came there the last of |
December and left the last of Jan |
lary, being there together only five !
weeks; that during that defendant |
came home every Saturday, and once
IN Wednesday; but only once did he
come in during the week.
Clarence Long, her nephew, from
he west, called to see her one Sun
lay afternoon, and remembering that |
Clarence and Katie May had been
riends before he was married, she
allied Katie May in to see him; that
t was very late in the afternoon,

p to that time she had spent the
ime in the room with the defendant.
This is one Of the times that the de-
endant complained about his wife
eaving him and going into Mrs.
