The Indy in question was Wiencrs' wlfe, a wuman of low repute whom be had mar- red walle drunk and refused subsequently to acknowledge—action ot his part which shd re- sented by persistently nnnoying him with her prescucs {u the wost oggravating manner. When Wieners came down aud found who his yisitor was he beeatne very much ouraged, and, thinking that Lawrcenco had of his own tnclina- tion caused him to como down-stalrs, ho at- tempted to cnage hhm In a quarrel, which Law- renee, who was o man of puny form, avolded.
