C. Yocum. Esq, looked after the inter- ests of the defense. Mrs Hart was the only witness for the common- wealth, and her story was to the ef- fect that on or®about the first of November last she left her husband's home In South Waverly because he falled to provide the necssities of life. Under cross examination, how- ever, she admitted that she went away from home without her hus- band’s knowledge and that when she left the cellar was filled with pota- toes, turnips beets, cabbage, etc. Par- ticular complaint was that he had failed to provide sufficient clothing, and that when she asked him to buy her a pair of shoes last fall he re- fused. The story told by Mrs. Hart Is too long for the public prints. She and her husband were married 21 years ago. Mrs Hart was a widow previous to her marriage with Hart, and she declares that within a few short days after their marriage her husband quietly told her that he could not support her and pay his bills at the same time According to the testimony produced at the hearing the married life of the couple has been one of continual domestic In- felicity, she having left him four times, because, as she alleges, he had failed to provide properly for her sup- port.

She did hot com- plain but that she had enough to eat, but insisted that her husband would not provide proper clothing. She de- clared that he had only given her two dollars in money during the past two years, and when Hart was placed on the stand he verified the assertion He claimed, however, that he was willing to provide for his wife, if she would come to his home, but as Mrs Hart refused to do this the defend- ant was discharged A large mumber of witnesses. includ- ing ex-Burgess Storms of South Wav- erly borough, Justice of Peace George Edmister, were sworn and tes- tified that Mr. Hart was a law abid- ing citizen, sober and Indystrious, and as far as they knew amply provided for his family.
