ably not get to the jury until late shiS
afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Crouch were
called to the stand this afternoon
among the last witnesses. Questions
bringing out their character and gem

humorous developments Of the case
was the statement made by Mrs.
Crouch as to why she refused to take
her children to church services AZ
certain local church. She told tho
judge that she understood that the
wife Of a bootlegger was a member Of
the choir
John stitterdIng who rented the

is bad but no personal statements
could be brought out regarding their
character, Mr.. Crouch testified that
the home south OF town when COM
Dleted would contain 80 rooms. He
stated that he had property interests
