Judge Irving Baxter, her attorney. The en
tire married life of sixteen years until
her separation from her husband two years
sgo was gone over hi minute detail. It was
the etory of a nervous, high-strung woman
married to a man of Jealous disposition.
It was a story of cruelty practiced against
that woman by her husband, who ail the
time proteased to love her with his whole
heart. It was the story of Jealouey
aroused by the too solicitous attention of
a minister to one of his perlsrfoners, which

In a low, well modulated voice, which

story, which. If true, is a remarkable rev
elation of the domestic affairs of me of
the highest in Washington. She stated that
ber husband's cruelty began with the time
of their wedding trip. One of her brides
maids had gone with them to New York.
Her husband, she said, was so Jealous that
he would not tolerate even this girl, and
with an oath declared that tf his wife
did not order her to leave he would. She
said he swore at her on an average of
every two or three days during their mar

night and the mother was sleeping with
her. Mr. Bassett wanted his velfe. and
because ahe would not leave the child, she
alleged, he came Into the room and struck
her. When their daughter Catherine wa
sick, she alleged, her husband refused for
a long time to go for a doctor, until tr.e

his wife's request that he remain in the
room with her. As a proof of what she
