Refuses TO Testify.

The rumor that Mrs. Inlow was to
be dismissed arose yesterday following
her refusal to testify for the defense
| in the trial Of her husband. Accord
ing to officers of the sheriff g Office,
Mrs. Inflow Yesterday morning told her
sister that she did not wish to testify,
hut feared that she would have to,
She is said to have requested the sis
ter to call upon Soren X. Christensen
and s. f. Thurman, her attorneys, md
| ask them to come to the county Jail
| for a consultation. Mr., Christensen
went to the Jail yesterday morning
and following the consultation it was
announced that on the advice of her
attorneys Mrs. Inflow would not take
the stand.

At the county Jail, however, the de-
cision of Mrs. Inflow created but lit
tie surprise, 1t is said that on many
occasions Inlow has been buying deli
caeies for himself with funds which
he obtained from some unknown source
and that only rarel-- has he paid any
attention to his wife. Mrs. Inflow on
the other hand, is said to have won
the sympathy Of the iailers, who have
done everything possible to make her
comfortable.
In connection with Mrs. Inlow il Is
recalled that Judge T. d. Lewis q
short time after she with her hus-
band was bound over to the district
court on the charge of murder in the
first degree fixed bail for her in the
sum of $4,000. No opportunity to fur
