It was known that she and her husband, Jno. T. Leabo, did not live happily together, that the evening before they bad a violent | quarrel and the neighbors had been called in to settle it. She had re mained in the house with him that night, their three-year old boy being the only other occupant. Leabo was immediately arrestad for the crime and promptly indicted by the grand jury.

He was tried the second a hung jury. the jurors standing 7 to 5 for acquittal.
