Mrs. Nettie Kizer's prosecution OF
her husband. Robert, for breaking
into their home at 400 S. Lafayette
St. failed in city court Saturday
morning when the motion for a
judgment for the defense was upheld

the payment of $3.50 damages

She testified that she and her hus-
band had quarrel and that she
had said that she would not live
with him. Trying new tactics, when
he left the house on Wednesday she
locked the door and when he return

in the case were undisputed. The

was within the scope of the authority
of the husband to enter his home
whenever he saw fit. The case for
malicious trespass was dismissed.
