Wife Can Go Out With

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July 21.-
A wife has the right to be alone
with a man friend on a public high
way without interference from her
husband, according to a recent de-
cisicn of the Florida Supreme court.
The case came up through hus-
band meeting his wife riding alone
with another man. He attacked the
man, and as result of the fight
that ensued the Wifes companion
was convicted Of assault with intent
to murder The state supreme court
reversed the lower tribunal.
There may have been time when
a wife was regarded as her husbands
chattel and being out alone on pub

as sufficient provocation to Justify
the husband in making an assault
upon her companion, but This is no

freedom with men," said the opinion
read by Chief Justice Brown.
"The mere walking or driving of
a married woman with another man,
or a married man with another wo-
man, is not sufficient provocatlon to
Justify an assault by either spouse,
and the greater freedom of inter
course between men aid women in

read late this afternoon to the house
pentientiary committee, which is in
vestigating the gamblers escape some
time ago.
The communications recommended
Powers as a fine fellow and model
prisoner" and requested that he be
shown consideration.

one expressing surprise at the prom
irence of the authors, and Chairman
Davison's policy in refusing to make
the letters public at the time they
first were placed in his possession by
Warden Smith.
When newspaper reporters inter-
viewed the Fulton county officials
after Powers escape from the peni-
tentiary, denials were issued to re-
ports that the convict had been rec
commended to the farm authorities.
