HAD Good POINTS
Hot-Tempered Woman Evidently
Not Altogether Bad.
Surely No High-Priced Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea
Of Husband Which Won
Her Her Liberty.

There was a negro family living In
Bowling Green, Ky. The wife had
a VIGOROUSLY ungovernable temper,
usually taking it out on her husband.
who was meek and lowly. On this &C.
casion she struck him with skillet,
infiicting a wound so painful and dam
gerous as to necessitate his having to
be taken to the hospital for treat
ment. The neighbors, knowing the
violent temper of the wife, and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such long time,
were so outraged they could endure 1t
no longer, and procured warrant for
her arrest on the charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial,
giving rapt attention to its every de-
tail. The case was handed over TO
the jury and after very brief delibera-
ton 1t brought in a verdict of guilty.
The old darkey husband rose and
said:
'Marse ledge, l don't reckon moth
ing a ole niger could say would make
much diffunce, but would lax to say
a word before you send the odd oman
to the penitenshy. She's always been
a good mother to the chillun, all the
neighbors will tell you that. She
washes and scrubs and sews and
mends for 'em. and keeps 'em clean

ole oman, too, II she could Just go
and kiss 'em good-by befo' she was

BY this time the judge and the spec
tators were in tears and the judge
said: Gentlemen Of the jury, l

you want a few minutes to further
consider this case, l will be glad to
