tie more of the troubled domestic life
of Clarence F. Glover was revealed by
the widow, Lillian NJ. Glover today on
the witness stand in the probate court
where practically a murder trial is
being conducted in an effort to break
the will which Glover made in favor
Of his wife and favorite brother.
A. court room crowded to the doors
listened breathlessly, after hours or
waiting to the tale of the Cape Bret
on woman, charged by the opposing
counsel with having a knowledge OF
the murder.
Mrs. Glover was less calm than yes
terday when she admitted having
Quarreled with her husband. Today in
a more defiant voice but with paled
cheeks, she told the cause of that
quarrel, and declared that she caught
her husband and their servant girl,
Hattie Leblanc, together.
For more than week last spring
she refused to see her husband, al
though her relations with him up to
that time, in fact ever since their mar
riage nine years before. had been of
a loving character. She tried to get
the girl out of the house. but failed.

his disposal of the property until after
his death. Counsel then sought to con-
meet her with the appearance of a wo-
man in a Boston sporting goods store
last year and the purchase OF re-
sNolvcr. She admitted going to the
store but said that it was two years
ago and then she bought no revolver.
On the night of the shooting of Glow
er, Hattie Leblanc left the house an
hour after her husband and Mrs.
Glover said she did not know of the
shooting until some one came to the
3 house. She admitted that Hattie Le-
Blanc's fur coat which she wore when
she left the house was in the house the
following days, which seemed to indi-
cate that the girl must have been in
the house while the police were MAX

Need Of Beds for consumptIves.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that in seven states, Alabama,
Idaho. Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma,
Wyoming and Utah, with a combined
population of over 100000, not one
bed for consumptives has been pro-
vided. In nine states and territories,
Alaska, Delaware, Florida, Kansas,
Mississippi, South Carolina, South Da-
ksta. Vermont and West Virginia, the
number of beds for consumptitves In
each case is less than fifty, while the
combined population of these states is
over 100000. On the basis Of 400
deaths to a million of population,
which is approximately the present
rate in the United States, there would
be nearly 5000 deaths annually from
tuberculosis in these IA states, with at
least 10000 cases of this disease all
the time, and less than 500 beds to
care for them.
