 and testified that her husband had
 not worked for six weeks since he ! lost his job at the Fafnir Bearing i Co., plant after an argument with his foreman.

 band did not drink but spent his time and money gambling. She re- lated many instances of mistreat- ment and one to the effect that her | husband had borrowed S200 from
 local bank, $15O of which amount
 he lost gambling.
 | Moses welcomed the opportunity
 offered by the court to make statement. So hurried was he to reach the stand that he had to be
 called back by Prosecuting Attorney
 Joseph Woods to take the witness oath.
 As he took the stand he started to tell the judge what should be done 1 to all women, He was stopped by Judge SaXe who stated that he would continue the case until No- vember l in the hope that MT. Con- nolly might be able to effect a rec
 onciliation between the husband and wife, and failing in this might per i haps find some way in which the
 matter of support might be satisfac-
 torily arranged.
 Moses remained adamant in his 1 stand that women were the down. | fall of all men and continued to ! shout his beliefs to all within hear l ing. As he came downstairs into the i police station to get his belongings | he tried to make Sergeant King be- i lieve him but met with very little
 success.
