any further. At this time a constable from Georgetown entered the court room and at- tempted to arrest the husband, but Judge No- rero forbade the arrest until his court should adjourn. The husband, however, was soon ar- rested and taken to Georgetown for trial. Judge ( 24 ) Norero and some San Juan lawyers followed the prisoner to Georgetown to defend him. The prisoner was arraigned before Judge Carr, and the wife testified that he had beaten and mis- treated her. Judge Norero states that he then wanted to offer evidence in rebuttal of this testimony, but Judge Carr ruled that the evi- dence already introduced was sufficient, and sentenced the husband to jail. The wife is now living with another man, so the Enterprise has been informed, and whose name is known in this office, but will be withheld for the present. Judge Norero thinks the man living with her had put up a job to get rid of the husband, and that Judge Carr unwillingly assisted the scheme. Norero now wants to get the prisoner out on a writ of habeas corpus. The statements here may be somewhat one-sided, but if they are not ab- solutely correct, it is more than likely that Judge Carr will be heard from on the subject next week.
