But he absolutely fuses to have anything further to do with his mother-in-law, Mrs. Rachel Ford. KINRAIDE BREAKS DOWN Again, today, Kinraide has been The central figure in a hearing in which sensation has followed sensation.

Once he broke down so completely while giving testimony that Judge Hopkins ordered a recess to give him an opportunity to recover his usual good poise. Several times, indeed, his voice has trembled with emotion as he has described events which be said took place during his troubled marital life, culminating once in his announcement that she was aware of his relations with her mother and again when he was beaten in his own bed by Mrs. Ford and Mrs. T-Clnraide as he lay there in a state of simulated intoxication. How his wife pounded him at the time, assisted by her mother, Mrs.
