R. 1, Paoli, Indiana, lives with her husband and son at said address.

DAVIS; that DAVIS was good; that his wife, Inice, dominated him; that she, Edrie E. WOLFE, did not visit Inice for the reason that she did not regard her as a good character, even at the time her brother married her; that prior to the time that her brother married her, Inice was having some sort of an affair with one Alvin SWARTZ.  Mrs. WOLFE further stated that her brother was always fond of children and that he treated them well and that children as a rule always liked him; that she never heard of any trouble or disturbances whatever between Woodrow HOLLEN and James F. DAVIS.
