Slavery, Brutality and
Terror in Story by
Accused Woman
HUSBANDS SPELLS
MADNESS, SHE SAYS
Violent Anger We'd With
Loving Kindness in
Disposition

Mrs. Maud r. Cases story of the
life she led with her late husband,
Ray Harlan Case. from 1914, when
they were married, to 1918, when
death separated them, might have
been entitled: mot MY -Four Years
in Germany but my Four Years In
He'll" 1t was a life Of slavery, bru-
tally, terror, humiliation, sorrow,
with frequent prospects of a violent
death. according to the story she
told last night before District Judge
Holloman, a jury Of IL Santa Fe city
and county men, and a court room
filled with Santa Fe men and women
principally women
AS a matter Of fact, Mrs. Case was
not married all of the four years, as
she was married on August 25, 1914,
and Case died February 81, 1918.
They lived together three and a half
years but that was longer than desir-
able, according to the witness who
once spoke Of the hours passing as
though they were a thousand years.
The story Mrs. Case told was
scarcely one to allure others to enter
married life, but the rather attrac-
tive looking witness, who gave her
age as so and her birthplace as Ken
lucky and whose pleasant, southern
voice showed refinement. explained
why she had been cheated out of the
happiness a loving, welded couple
might expect to find. She explained
that soon after marriage she discov-
cred that her husband was subject
to spells Of violent anger, accom-
panied by strange conduct and
coarse, brutal speech. These spells
she later diagnosed with the help
OF physicians and her own observa-
tions-and also from explanations
made by Mr.. Case himself-as fits ~
madness, the result Of a deranged
mind and of a suffering body.
Case was an i'll man. According to
much Of the testimony given by Mrs.
Case and others who know him, he
might be termed the type Of ''sanitar.

Field Marshal Haig two months
from the day Of the allied offensive
on the Marine, has begun a closer in
vestment of st. Quentin. His troops
are attacking northwest of the city
with the evident intention Of outflank-
ing it on the north.
The new operations follow the Brit
ish capture of Holnon village on high
ground three miles northwest Of st.
Quentin, Tuesday night. Holnon is on
a hill as is Maissemy, captured
late Saturday. These hill positions
dominate the terrain north Of st. QUEEN
tin and the road connecting the city
with Cambria.
From these favorable points the
British are moving in toward the city.
The full details Of the operation are
lacking but undoubtedly the British
will meet with stiff opposition. The
Germans here are on or nearly on the
Hindenburg positions and captured
documents show the enemy troops
have been ordered to maintain their
positions.
To the north the Germans are using
their big guns actively against the
British lines. Tuesday evening the
Germans attacked M0uevres, west Of
Cambria and passed the British back
to the western outskirts. Apparently
the enemy is determined to hold his
ground on the line between the Scarpe
and the Disc.
Southwest of Metz the Germans
have attempted to strike back at the
Americans west Of the Moselle river.
The American artillerymen have
smothered the enemy effort and the
Germans were driven back with losses.
The attempt was made Tuesday eve
ming and the enemy did not follow
up the repulse with any further move
ments toward the American line.

ANSWER PUBLIC
By Leased wire to New MexIcan.)

10y Leased WiTc 10 NEW MECHANICALLY
With the American Army in
France, Sept. 1S.-(By the Associated
Press.)-From the manner in which
the American army received the
news Of President Wilson's reply to
Austria ungary's peace note, its at
titude might be characterized as one
OF grim approval.
The report of the Austrian sug-
gestion that a peace conference be
held circulated rapidly yesterday
from headquarters far in the ear to
the front line trenches and the Of
ficers and men alike expressed the
belief that none of the allied gov
ernments certainly not theirs, would
yield to what they regarded as a
trick Of the central powers to gain
time.
AS news of President Wilson's
brief answer moved steadily toward
the outposts there was a feeling OF
relief among the OFFICERS of high
rank and an air of satisfaction from
the enlisted men.
The attitude or the soldiers often
repeated, was:
Sure, he won't. The kaiser can't
put over anything like that on him.
The American army as yet, only
slightly SCARED by war, has all the
enthusiasm that characterizes all
armies at the beginning Of hostilf-
ties. The Americans wish Germany
to be defeated.

BRITISH HAVE EYE ON
IMPORTANT RIDGE

With the British Armies in France,
Sept. 18.-(By the Associated Press.)
Field Marshal Haig's forces this
morning attacked the German posi-
tions on a considerable front north
west Of st. Quentin. simultaneously
French troops carried out an opera
ton on the right. Successful progress
was made On both fronts.
The attack was begun at 500
O'Clock after q brief bombardment.
Coupled with the news Of the success
Of the allied forces in the early
stages Of the operations came 10
ports that heavy fighting had devel-
'oped at many points particularly
about FresnOy, Ronssoy and Ephy, in
the British zone and about Savy
Wood, where the French were attack
ing.
(The towns named in the foregoing
reports indicate that the Franco-Brit-
ish attack is on a front Of at least
IA miles.)
The section along which the as
sault is being made is a most import
ant one. The British today had
worked forward until they had es-
tablished themselves in the old sup
port line between Ephy and Yer
guier. In front Of the the Ger
mans were sitting on a dominating
ridge in positions which represented
the British front line before the Ger
mans launched their offensive last
March. In addition the Germans held
the former second support line OF
the British. The crest Of this ridge
dominates Hindenburg line which
lies to the east. Hence, the value OF
the possession OF the ridge to either
side is obvious.
For days the Germans, who I'M
doubtedly had expected a drive here,
had been feverishly terrifying them
selves along the ridge whose loss
would be a serious menac to the
Hindenburg line in the rear. Stsffs
fighting seemed probable.
