 The health authorities announced Thursday morning at the city hall that the "A.T.A." treatment Is now recognized as preventive against dyphtheria.
 As usual at this season. scarlet fever has made its appearance, a flow isolated cases being found, but no indications whatever of spread of the malady.

MRS. M'NARON GIVESI DETAILS OF ATTACK
Husband On Trial For Shooting Her
 Twice With Pistol

Testifying against her husband, Mark McNaron, charged an assault upon her with intent to kill Mrs. Minnie L. McNaron described the at court Thursday. She said she was shot twice by a pistol in her hus- bands hands and that her nose was broken in the encounter which fol- lowed when she attempted to wrest the weapon from him.
 It was September 24, 1922. that the assault occur ed, she testified, say ing that McNaron went to see her with a package under his arm con taining a pistol, which she identified in court. When he removed the pistol from the package, she said, she seized it and struggled with him in an at tempt to prevent him using it. It was in this struggle, she stated, that her nose was broken.
 Mrs. McNaron testified that she had been afraid of her husband for some time previous to the attack but denied that she ever said he was in sane. She said that he had previously and on several occasions made threats against her.
 Attorneys for the defense sought to clear their client by proving that he was subject to periods of insanity and was not in his right mind when tho attack was made. In support of lH6lE COulellllOilt tAltN oellb lio lldN spent several weeks in an insane asylum, from which he escaped and returned to Jefferson county to stand trial.
 McNaron and his wife had been se- parated for some time previous to the attack, she testified.
 Several other witnesses were called including Mrs. G. NJ. Lawson, sister of Mrs. McNaron, with whom she was living at the time. Her testimony was practically the same as that of Mrs. McNaron. The case has been postponed 27 times and has attracted considerable attention. Other wit nesses. estimated at 100 or more, are still to be heard. Several days are expected to be consumed in gathering evidence.
 Verdicts of not guilty were returned in the cases of Jerome Higgins, negro charged with criminal attack on a woman several months ago, and George Culloms. also a negro, in- dicted for murder.
 Earnest Fairburn, charged with an attack upon a young girl. was re- leased on $1,000 bond in Judge Abernethy's court Thursday to await action by the grand jury.
