а

Former Judge Edwin L. Garvin, counsel for Mrs. Davis, denied that she had demanded a divorce. He said that last summer Davis told her that when he was released they would have a companionate mar- riage with him living in the coun- try "with my dogs and guns," while she ran the business along lines, to be laid down by him. She told him she would rather have a divorce, the attorney said.

Asserting that he had never seen such an example of wifely devotion as Mrs. Davis showed to her hus-! band, Mr. Garvin said that she had authorized him to say that she would even now write the asme sentiments as contained in the let- ters read by opposing counsel. He told of her early struggle to help her husband get the surgical. sutures business started. He said that two years before the killing Davis gave her 51 shares of the 150 shares outstanding in appreciation, as she thought, of her help to him.

During the period she has con trolled the business, the attorney declared, she has increased its assets 400 per cent, and its earnings 1,100 per cent. She has made $1,000,000 since he has been in pri- son, Mr. Garvin said, of which amount one-half was put back into the business and one half devoted to herself and her two children,
