brought In on April 80, 1909, immedi-
ately after the tragedy. She heard
him moaning and repeating, "Oh, my
wife, my child, and my home" or
words to that effect. She also saw
Mrs. Boyajian when the latter came
in.
Mr.. Bumps asked questions regard
ing Mrs. Boyajian's attitude toward
her husband when she was brought
into the Jail. saying that the

concerned about Gostanian.
The court refused to allow the ques-

Mr. Bumps said the defense rested.
