house. Defendants habits were good.
He paid his bills promptly, was kind
and affectionate towards his wife and
if he ever mistreated or abused her
witness did not know of 1t. Seemed
to have happy married life and after
the arrival of the child was devoted
to it. Never heard him quarrel with
his wife; he was too much of gen.
tleman to be unkind or harsh. Was
industrious, kind-hearted and typi-
cal southern gentleman. Witness
said she heard of the trouble between
the two about Mrs. CRANBERRY going to
the party. Harry was sick and did
not want to go and told his wife not
to go. She went anyway. He tele- |
phoned her to come home as he felt
worse She did not come and he te1e-
phoned her again. She became ex-
cited at this second message and
swooned at the party. Was brought |
home in carriage. She was brought
into another room at the suggestion
Of some one of the boarders. Harry
wanted to go into the room and a
woman in there would not let him
come in, as this woman was not
dressed. A young man boarder tried
to keep Harry from going into the
room. Witness opened door and had
Harry come into the room. He went
@ the bedside of his wife and placed
1is arms about her and they kissed
and made up-just like two children.
