Santa re, IN w.. Dec. lS. Il lit
canvassing board after three
weeks labor canvassing the &c
counties has left the result in
doubt as to one supreme court
judge, one district judge, the
superintendent of public in
struction, one member of the
state senate, one member of the
legislative house and several
county officers in Union and So
corro counties.
The result in these cases hinges
on the decision of the board on
admitting or rejecting the re-
turns from four precincts, Clay
ton, Union county. in which the
election judges have refused to
sign the returns though summon
ed before the board, because of
irregularities at the polls. Re-
serve and Gila in Socorro county
and at Melrose, Curry county,
where no list of voters were kept.
Many other objections, too,
will be argued, so that probably
another week will elapse before
the board will make its final re-
port to president Taft. After
that will come several contests
in the court, no matter what the
canvassing board decides.
Otherwise, the result is as the
unofficial vote had made it, the
Democrats electing five of the 16
men on the ticket, the Republi
cans nine and the Progressives
two, with one of the latter in
doubt. The Republicans have 16
members of the state senate, the
Progressives one and the Dem
ocrats seven; the Republicans
have 80 members of the house,
the Progressives five and the
Democrats ID, the Republicans
elect nine of the district judges
and district attorneys, the Pro-
gressives one and the Democrats
six.
Almost two thirds of the coun
ty officials are Republican. If
the above named precincts are
not counted the Republicans will
gain one supreme court Judge
from the progressives, one dis
trict judge from the Democrats,
one member of the senate from
the progressives, one member of
the house from the Democrats
and several county offices.

WIFE HELPS LAWYERS

That his wife hit him with the rung
of a chair. that she tried to throw boil
ing soup in his face and that she cursed
him in unprintable language, was the
testimony today of Wilson NJ. Dunaway,
defendant in a sensational divorce suit
brought by Edith NJ. DunaWay, his 50
pound wife. The name of Charles Cod
sey-the man IN the case-was also
dragged into the morning testimony,
but Dunaway admitted that he could
give no testimony against his wife's
character.
Dunaway was still under fire when

nation for the plaintiff, often refreshed

relations became common gossip IN
Lansing.
That wasn't Dunaway's only source
of trouble. One day he went home
and there was trouble when lunch
was not ready. He said Mrs Duna-
way lost her temper and struck him
on the head with a chair rung. On
cross examination. Dunaway admitted
that the trouble might have started
when he took his wife to task for the
purchase of two boxes of Strawberries
for which she paid Is cents
He Struck Her First.
Then Dunaway related the hot soup
incident. He was not sure how trou-
BILE started that day. She seized a big
soup ladle, he declared, and told her
husband she would fix him.. His
wife was lust reaching for the bowl of
hot soup, the witness said, when he
struck her in the face, knocking her
against a kitchen cabinet and making
her nose bleed.
Another time Dunaway saw his wife
step from q Kansas City-Leavenworth
electric car and run to the home of a
neighbor. She had been to Leaven-
worth and when the husband ask
her mission to the city, she responded
that it was none of his business"
Dunaway then told of his physical
ailments and admitted that his wife
manicured his feet. This was offset,
he thought, by the fact that he some
for the baby, cooked some of his own
meals, chopped the kindling, carried
/ in the coal, built the fires and when
not engaged did other odd tasks about
the house.
After Otis Hungate had completed
the long direct examination, Gregory
gently drew Dunaways thoughts back
to the days when he was first mar
ried.
You took your wife to live in one
room at the rear Of a breeding stable
didn't you?' Dunaway was asked.
Yes, / did" admitted the witness,
but she didn't complain at that

Dunaway also admitted that he has

A stack of checks given Dunaway
and his wife by the woman's foster

They aggregated several hundred dol
lars and were offered to show Dun
aWay's financial condition and the at
titude of the wife's relatives toward

At the afternoon session, Dunaway
was recalled. He was followed by
several witnesses from Lansing,
