A dramatic scene ensued when James asked her If it was not true she had lived with a Dr. Hughes 1n Pittsburg as his wife. Shouts That It Is Untrue. "That’s an insult; It’s an absolute lie." said Mrs. Urawford. “Oh, it is awful. It is a falsehood throughout; there is absolutely no foundation for it.” “Were you ever divorced from Dr. Hughes?” asked James. “How could I have been divorced from him if I had never been mar ried to him?” Mrs. Crawford snapped back. “All of that has been gone over with,” broke in Auditor James L. An derson. “She testified yesterday that she had never married Hughes.” “Hut the laws of Pennsylvania make a common law marriage* a real ity when a man and woman live* to gether, and that is what I am at tempting to show—that she lived with him as his wife,” said James. “She has denied having any rela tions with him. and there is absolutely no need of going over all of this again. You have been over this three times already, and I am tired of it. I will refuse to allow the recurds to be further clogged by this useless rep etition. and you will have to stop that line of questioning, Colonel James,” snapped the auditor. "But the code allows me to cross- examine in any line I want to, and you are simply to note that the evi dence is taken,” retorted James.

It may be economically impossible to provide for their re moval, but as they stand in the United Htates they break God’s law.
