Mary Adams, 522 Parrish Street,

According to testimony developed
in the Northwestern, Monday morn
ing when her husband, CORDOBA
Adams. was arrested on charges OF
assault. she left the house against
his will and went to the holy SER
vices known as the sunrise meeting.
This took her away from hcme in
the wee hours of the morning,
Adams declared, but he did not try
to restrain her.
She returned some time later
and had been apparently possessed
of the spirit. She had become sane
titled, she declared and could have
nothing more to do with him until
he became a member of the fold
Adams stated that he had tolerat-
ed his wife's queer actions for
sometime and considered that this
was carrying her religion little
too far. He was told, he said. that
IL was against the law OF the church
and the law of God for members of
the Holy Sanctified Church to sleep
with non-believers. At this point
Adams admitted that he seized a
lath that was leaning beside the
wall and turned his wife over his
knee and gave her spanking.
So soundly did he thrash his wife
that after an examination in the
Northwestern just before the hear
ing the Matron told the magistrate
that Mrs. Adams would not be able
to sit down for a week. Adams was
fined $25 and costs.
