K 3 At this point tho defense rested and 5bJ tho state began the Introduction ot 5 rebuttal testimony, 'Mrs A. E.

At times Mrs. Southorth had asked ask-ed the wii-ess to keep an eye on tho . children. A email sensation was created In tho Southworth case Saturday afternoon after-noon when Attorney Hulaniskl for the state, on cross examination, asked Henry Southworth whether he was certain that drinking was the only grievance his wife had against him and whether that was the only reason rea-son fQr the divorce proceedings. Tho question was objected to by the attorneys at-torneys for the defense and tho Jury was excluded while tho legal phase of tho question was argued bv counsel. coun-sel. The state's attornoy contended that ho had the right to go Into all tho relationships of the husband and wife for tho past fow years, for It might be shown that the defendant had done other things more grievous than drinking, tho Insinuation being made that there were othor things more flArlnna tVinf rnnanri tho fllvtriA nrn. ceedlngs. In the argument against tho Introduction Intro-duction of tho testimony, Attornoy Halverson declared that ln Its great lengths, as partially Insinuated, the state might attempt to prove adultery or other crime against the defendant, but that it could not possibly bo material ma-terial In tho caso at bar nor could It have had any hearing regarding tho condition of tho defendant's mind when the homicide was committed. i Mr. Hulaniskl said that if such questioning were not allowed It would i bo lmposslblo to get a conviction against a man who had "killed another If he desired to drag his wife Into tho matter. Ho thought that such testimony testi-mony would tend to show that tho defendant acted ln a spirit of revenge. Tho court overruled the objection and the Jury -nas recalled. I Immediately after the Jury resumed I Its position In tho box, however, tho I state's attorney withdrew tho question ques-tion and tho court stated that an adjournment ad-journment would bo taken until Monday Mon-day morning Rumor was soon afloat that the differences dif-ferences between Mr. South-worth and his wife had been occasioned through his infldollty to her and that he had had questionable associations with other women. Both Mr. Southworth and his attorneys attor-neys and his friends at tho court room stated at the tlmo of tho recess of the court that the. Insinuation was absolutely without foundation and that It had been suggested by the half dozen people in Farmlngton who are not friendly to the defendant.
