Wife DIDN'T TRESPASS,
JUDGE DEMISSES CHARGE

The question whether a wife may
commit trespass ON the property of her
husband did not come up in City Court
this morning when Mrs Nellie f. Con-
ner was arraigned on a charge of tres
pass, because it was declared by her
husband, George Conner, that she had
not been forbidden to enter the prem
ises. This appeared to settle the case
and the charge was dismissed at the
request of Assistant City Solicitor John
f. Lynn.
It was alleged Mrs. Conner went away
from home last Thursday and remained
away until Friday night, when she broke
in the house. In just what manner she
entered was not alleged. The couple
lived at No. 1882 East Twenty second
street. Conner testified he had not for
bid his wife to come to the house. Mr.
Lynn declared he could not expect tC
prove trespass under these circum
stances, and had Judge Joslyn dismiss
the case.

that the latter would make an effort
to sell his stock in New York if he
could not dispose of it as had already
been suggested.
Mr. Raskob said early on the morn
ing of February Is, he went TO New
York and saw William H. Porter. of
the firm of Morgan G. Co. and told
him that he and his associates had
an opportunity to purchase the hold
ings of T. G. DUPONT and that the
entire cost of the purchase would
probably be about $4,000 900.
"How much of Mr. duPont's stock
did you tell Mr.. Porter you had an
opportunity to buy?" asked Mr.. John
son.
81 think I told him Mr.. duPont's
entire holdings" replied the witness.
He was asked how he knew that
Mr.. DUPONT would sell his entire hold
ings, and II It was not a fact that Mr..
dupont had not made any offer to sell
more than 10000 to 10000 shares Of
his common stock?
Mr. Raslxob said he thought Mr..
Dunham had advised them that Mr..
DUPONT would sell his entire holdings
Just at this point there was started
by Mr.. Johnson the most rigid cross
examination that any witness has
been subjected to. Mr.. Johnson tried
to pin the witness down to some ex-
act statement as to time and place
when he first learned that T. c. du-
Pont would sell his entire holdings.
Mr.. Graham appealed to the court
for the protection of the witness,
claiming that Mr.. Johnson was argu-
/ ing with the witness. and that the
manner Of interrogation was not fair
Mr.. Johnson withdrew the question
/ that was objected to. but continued to
examine the witness as 10 when he
first learned that T. c. DUPONT would
sell his entire holdings.
Eventually Mr.. Raskob admitted
that he could not recall when he first
learned Mr.. DUPONT would sell all OF
his stock
He said when he first went to see
MIR. Porter the members of the syndi-
cate had not decided to purchase the
stock. Mr.. Raskob under the ques-
tions of Mr.. Johnson. went into a
long explanation as to just how the
loan was arranged with Mr.. Porter
Of Morgan and Company.
Mr.. Raskob was led over many
minor details of the loan and was
still on the stand when court took a
recess until 2 o'clock.

ed at the failure of the Davis
package law to do any good in
the way of diminishing the evils
of the liquor habit, the Punta
Gorda Herald again denounces
legislatures as frauds and recon-
mends that they be abolished. No,
they are not frauds, nor are they
failures except in a comparative
sense; but, like many other hui
man institutions, they fall short
of perfect efficiency, and the rem
edy is not to abolish, but to i'm
prove them. The Davis package
law was well meant and looked
efficient on the surface. Its de-
fects could only be discovered by
its practical application, and the
same was true of most other
mechanisms now in successful
use, on their trial trip.
