near the McConnells, was the core

According to the testimony, the Nc
ConneIIs were married April Is, 1912
becoming acquainted subsequently
with Walsh and his wife. The two
couples visited each other frequently
and each husband discovered an af-
finity in the wife OF the other.
While at the walsh home, McCon-
nell said, he went into the kitchen
and dining room to assist Mrs. Walsh,
leaving his wife and Walsh together
in tho pRrlor. Each husband and
the wife of the other acted in a very
Ioverlike manner, according to Nc

ging and kissing and pairing of in
separate rooms. Mcconnell also said
that he and his wife gave Mrs Walsh
a pair OF silk hose in exchange for a
present OF a suit of silk underwear to
his wife from the Washes.
Mcconnell denied that he had ever
been more intimate with Mrs. Walsh
than to hug and kiss her in the pres
ence of her husband. He had COM
plete confidence in his wife, he said,
until he was told that she and Walsh
had been seen kissing when he was
not present Then he played detec-
tive and brought the suit
