havior yesterday" said Crockett,
"and when she told me that she was
going downtown to pay q gas bill I
told her I would make the trip for
her. She refused, and her preoccu-
pied attitude indicated to me that
something was wrong. When she
left the house I decided to trail her.
She boarded q car and alighted at
Franklin and Howard streets. ar

just as she boarded another car.

short distance from thu car line I
heard two people talking family, but
I could mot see them because OF a

crept around until found an open
ing in the hedge and jumped through.
There I found them. and as my
wife saw me she screamed and jump
ed up. 1 slapped her aside, and as
the man got to his feet knocked
