Taking the stand in her own be-
half, Mrs. Edith Hughes. on trial for
arson, held the witness stand for the
greater part Of the morning and told,
sometimes with. emotion, Of her deep
affection for her former husband, Ira
Hughes, AID OF how her desire to win
him back had led her TO make
lonely night trip through the tim
bered mountains about Neacham to
his cabin in the hopes that she would
find letters that would show his in
/ timacy for another woman.
This trip to the cabin was made on
the night OF August 80, the night up
on which the cabin burned to the
ground, and, while admitting that the
fire might have been started from
matches she had lighted. she denied
that she had Intentionally caused the
fire. Mrs. Hughes was the only wit
ness of the defense and finished her
testimony both on direct and cross ex-
animation at 1880. The state had
only a few reburtal witnesses and the
case is this afternoon being argued
to the jury.
Mrs. Hughes denied that she had
ever made threats to burn her for
mer husbands home, branding the
testimony to that effect as false, and
she denied that she had ever threat
ened his life to Deputy Sheriff Joe
Blakely. She denied much OF the
other testimony which was calculated
to show that she harbored malice
toward her ex-husband and asserting
strongly that her principal motive in
life. since her husband had divorced
her, was to win him back.
She declared that he was attached
to another woman and a letter, pur-
porting to have been written to him
by this woman, was introduced as
evidence. She said she found It in
her letter box and that the letter had
been previously opened. The enve.
lope she had destroyed. she said.

were wiped of the rpll of fame.
As the law stands, succession is linn
tied to direct male descendants who may
be as far removed from the last holder of
the title as a grandson or paternal uncle
Daughters have no claim whatever In
the older baronies. which are called by
writ Of summons instead OF patent, and in
Scotland in the case of the higher peer
ages. succession has been secured to fe-
males.
When this latter exception prevails, IL Is
the practice. except in Scotland, to ignore
the rule OF primogeniture and regard all
daughters as coheirs. No one of them,
however. can obtain the title until she be-
comes sole survivor. unless the sovereign
chooses to select one OF the ladies as i'm

allegiance
When there is "a limitation OF remain

try in any way and have no intention Of
doing so. These are for the most part
strong. healthy young men with no ties
to bind them to their palatial homes and
no better excuse for hanging back than
self-love
The roll would show that there are a
considerable number of peers and heirs
to peerages occupying staff appointments
which keep them we'll outside the danger
zone.
But at the same time the roll would
chow that there are many hundreds Of
England's aristocrats who have taken their
places in the firing line. eager to compete
with the sons Of the workers in sacrifice
for their country.
The casualties among these mobiles have
been as heavy as among any other class
of soldiers. Many heirs TO great titles
have fallen and in numerous cases. the
next heir is doing his share in the trenches.
The rule Of succession which holds in
England is brought into prominence by
the death roll and the changes wrought in
the peeTage. II has more complications
and anomalies than any other set of rules
to be found in the world.
In the early days of the war legislative
action was taken to exempt from death
duties the estates Of soldiers up to the
value OF S25. 900. but nothing was done to
safeguard titles. Apparently no one had
foreseen the succession of deaths in the
families Of the nobility that would limit
the duration of the titles to the lifetime
Of the present holders or cause them to
pass to some obscure relation possessing
neither the shadow of a claim to ennoble-
ment nor the means to sustain the posi-
ton and obligations which rank imposes
