over Gads Hill and Tip Top by a

over the elevations north of here be-

A called term of county court was
held Monday to pass on the sanity OF
Mrs. Pearl Wright, wife of Emery
Wright, who lives in the west end of
the county. After hearing the testi-
mony the court decided the woman
was sane and she was discharged.
Mrs. Wright is about sixteen years
of age. Some two months ago she
filed a complaint against her father,
w. L. Cox, charging him with incest,
but when the case came on for trial
she would not testify and said the af-
fidavit she had previously made was
false. Wright is possibly 45 and has
a number of children by a former
wife. The husband filed the informa-
tion alleging insanity.
