porch OF tho winans bungalow with
Mccormack, who, sne said, had his
arm around Mrs. winans's neck.
In dismissing Mr.. winans's action,
Justice Tonlpkins said:
Everything that has been testified
10 IN this case may be true, but under
tho circumstances and considering

summer colony, the evidence is insult
ficient TO justify a verdict for the

dangerous TO give q decree on such
evidence. They lived there in a sort
