seeks attentions from a man. The things
are absolutely false. 1t was of his own ac-
cord that the doctor came to my house
almost every day.
"It would be difficult to make any one
understand the different kinds Of suffering
have undergone because Of this. The
thought of what my husband was having
to Dear and of what he would still have to
undergo If he did not get probation, was
constantly before me. ! could not sit down
to eat without thinking Of the deprivations
which he had could not lie down in
comfortable bed without remembering that
he slept on a narrow cot in a cell. And all
OF the beauty and brightness of the world
meant nothing to me when I thought that
perhaps he would be shut away from it
forever.
when I thought of my innocent chill
dren of the shock and horror which would
be theirs some day, and Of the bitterness
that they might feel toward me, the agony
OF death was In my heart. The fact that
through my actions poignant grief had
come to my aged mother, and that on her
honored name and that of my brothers and
sisters had come shadow because OF my
conduct, have felt the lash OF remorse
night and day.
"The fact that Captain Stokes has come
back home, has resumed the same gentle,
affectionate manner toward me, and is
taking up life Just where 1t was broken by
this horrible affair, is a thing too big, too
generous for the world to understand.
"But there has been a sort OF comrade-
ship between my husband and myself, like
the frank, Straightforward relations be-
tween two men. That is why | told him
the truth about the other, and | was only
trying to be truthful when I said, I cannot
choose But people can be stupid, weak
and guilty OF gross error even in truthful
The Washington times., 1920-10-03

OF course there could be no compromise
of the fact that Captain Stokes had taken
the law into his own hands and had taken
another's life He could not be formally
declared mot guilty" But the court found
a way to release the accused by taking
the case away from jury and making his
sentence merely an order that Captain
Stokes be released under probation
that is, under his promise that he would
not kill again.
In imposing this sentence Judge Craig
ordered Captain Stokes to rise and stand
before the bench. Mrs. Stokes rose with
her husband and stood by his side, Look
ing sternly at the woman Judge Craig said:
1.-THE wife must have realized that some
terrible end must result from her contin-
ued misconduct. A jury of twelve women
or twelve men would, | have no doubt,
acquit the defendant. Men who brazenly
and defiantly despoil other mems homes
will realize more fully after this that such
course Is extremely hazardous, and the
decision am about to announce may, there
fore, save other homes and protect inno-
cent children of the community against the
acts of persons whose consciences seem to
afford no safeguard.
"The person most to blame In the sight
of God for this entire tragedy is Mrs.
Stokes. But she Is not before me for SEN
tence. II anyone can suggest how | could
include her in any action | should be glad
to do so.
1T is the order OF this court that the
defendant be released in his own custody
upon probation, the probationary period to
endure for ten years"
Every word the Judge spoke thus far he
said with his eyes turned full upon Mrs.
Stokes. Now ne turned to the husband
and added, at is on your wlfes account,
not yours, make the period Of probation
SO long. She might do something like this

they knew they might expect to suffer
themselves the penalty of their husbands
justified Staying of the partners in their
infamy.
There are others, however, who hold
that such a custom would upset something
OF the dignity of law and order. The wife's
guilty conscience always will be her pun
ishment, these declare, and such a pun
ishment, they say, is more severe than
hanging or imprisonment. Mrs. Stokes her
self says:
~ woman who does not know her own
mind who is too weak, vacillating and in
decisive to choose between two men, ought
to suffer the tortures Of the damned.

Public interest was quickly aroused by
the courts extraordinary decision A
theory, proposed by such learned jurist
as Superior Court Judge Craig that an I'M
faithful wife should be punished instead Of
her husband when the latter killed the In
vader of his home, was startling. II found
immediate support by ministers and promi.
nent thinkers. Also Il found opposition.
DR. Charles Edward Locke, Bishop OF
the Methodist Church, announced from his
pulpit that he agreed with Judge Craig.

is causing nationwide discussion among
people who are interested in the moral
progress of society.
The question raised by the Judge is,
Should not the guilty wife, in such cases
as this, be made to bear the punishment
for the murder of the other man, rather
wife the one who really is responsible to
society for the taking Of her confederate's
life, and the husband justified and deserv-
ing of public sympathy and protection?"
Judge Gavin Craig, one of the most dis
tinguished jurists of California, heard all
the testimony in the trial.
