THE RECORDER'S COURT. Womaa Oefeads Her Hasbaad, Who la is oa the Charare of Striking llr A Minor Caae. In the recorder's court yesterday af ternoon, the devotion of a woman and wife was shown for the millionth time. It made Very . little difference whether Lawrence Fewell, a 'white man about 30 years .'old, was guilty or .not of hlv1ng;1ttTuck,hls 'Wre,'"Aa.r-'THes6r- djdness .of - the . moatlyv pretty . prisoners, the.' gloomy room with its' never absent spectators, all were subsidiary to the little defense of the woman her defense of the husband who was charged with striking her. Witnesses testified that .they had heard her crying out and begging horn "Please stop, Lawrence." but they were not sure that they heard the sound of blows. Mrs. Fewell, little more than a girl, came forward and said: "He was quar reling with me some, but he never hit me. sir he never hit me a lick inall his life." "Did you send for the police?" asked Fyire Hilton. "No, sir, I don't know who sent for the Dollce." "Does he abuse you?A "No, sir, not except to quarrel. We've never had a fight" - "What were you crying about?" "Well, sir. it goes a, .heap harder with me for anyone to quarrel with me than If he hit me." "Fewell," said the .'squire, "the evi dence here is not enough to convict you, but if you ever come here again on this charge it will go hard with you. You oughtn't to be making your wife cry. That's no way to treat a wife. Now remember that." Upon dismissal, the man walked sul lenly away. His wife hesitated a mo ment and then went after him, calling to some of her friends that she would not go their way. A brace of impudent negresses were up for an affray. Their names were Viola Wallace and Alice CardwelL Rose Love, a witness, who would make a splendid study of a voodoo in the Jun gles, gave testimony In direct contra diction to one of the defendants, but the whole thing was so boringly com monplace that the acting recorder cut it short and made the defendants pay $1 and costs each.
