Mrs. Nellle Robinson, a charming and refined voung woman, swore to a com plaint before Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon for the arrest of her husband, Willlam Robinson, on a charge of battery. “My husband,”'she said, ‘is a printer and publisher.

She took passage to Singapore as she did not want to marry him, but he followed her and prevailed That was eighteen months ago. Robinson was arrested by Policemen Kissane and McMurray. He refused to discuss the affair, but said he sent his wife here as he intended putting her in a private sanitarfum. ADAMS TAKES STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE Describes the Events of the Shooting and His Row With stand in his defense yesterday. Adams attempted to justify the shooting on the ground of self-defense. The prisoner said that after Kepner had discharged him he went away for a few minutes and then returned for an explanation. Kepner, he said, cursed him and then suddenly sprang forward to assault him. “I ran around the chair,” said Adams, “toward the door. Kepner tried to follow me, and then I put my hand on my hip pocket and told him to stop. He stopped for a minute and then sprang and threw his arm around my neck and caught me by’the collar with the other. .We were struggling when I shot him."” Adams said he did not see anybody come into the room during the quarrel, and add- ed that he did not feel anybody take hold of his arm. *‘They could bave puiled my leg off,” he said, “and I would not have known it."” Adams also made the fact plain that he had had no trouble with Mrs. Kepner, neither did their acquaint- ance have anything to do with the trou- ble. Adams’ story varies materially from the testimony given by the witnesses for the prosecution, and he even denied that his arm had beén seized when he was try- ing to hoot Kepner. Daniel Brooks, who was called by the defense, testified that he tried to take the revolver away from Adams but failed, and then Adams shot Kepner. Argument of the case will be heard by the jury to-day, and a verdict may be reached before the hour of adjournment. eEaiitesy L il Anderson Files Answer.
