The first witness was Mrs. Clisbee,
who lives with the Alexanders on Green
leaf street, under life lease. She decided
her property to Mr.. and Mrs. AleXandes
with the provision that they care Tor
her as long as she lives. She was 80

who had called for her in carriage,
and that as she was going down the
cement walk she was sliced by MRS.
Alexander by the left arm and pulled
back toward the steps. When she re-
sisted Mrs. Alexander called her nus
band. The witness testified that they
both used force in taking her back TO

it within her province to keep Mrs
Clisbee away from houses which she
did not wish her to visit. She said that
trouble had been brewing five weeks and
that the happenings of June were the
elimination of various occurrences.
In imposing the fine Judge Daley
