FATHER HELD FOR CRIME Supreme Court Upholds Validity of Legislative Act Removing Disabil ities of Married Women, Giving Them Power to Sue. Little Rock.—■ The Supreme Court reversed and re manded the $75,000 damage suit In stituted in the Helena Circuit Court against F. M. Owens, who. It Is charg ed, killed his wife in Helena some months ago and is now in jail await ing trial. After the killing, C. S. Fitzpatrick, who was appointed ad ministrator for Mrs. Owens' estate, filed suit in behalf of the state and the six children. The suit on behalf of the estate asked $50,000 from Owens, and the children asked a judg ment of $25,000 from their father. The Supreme Court’s decision upheld the validity of the law enacted by tne last Legislature removing the disabil ities of married women, giving them the power to sue and be sued. When the suit was filed in tne lower court a demurrer was filed on the grounds that the right of action on the part of either tlie administrator or the next kin was not set forth. The de murrer was sustained. The decision of the Supreme Court was called upon to determine whether a woman may maintuin an action against her hus band to recover damages for acts com mitted by him. and the Supreme Court, acting under the act of the last Leg islature. held that she did. Tiie ver dict of the lower court in sustaining the demurrer was reversed with in structions to overrule the demurrer and for further proceedings. The court refused to dismiss the appeal in the case of Chas. Lapratrte against the City of Hot Springs, a suit instigated to test the power of municipalities to levy oscupation tax measures. The motion to dismiss the appeal was made on the grounds of ; insufficient abstracting. The court's I ruling on the merits of the case will i be of more than minor importance, | as Little Rock and several other cities i have enacted ordinances similar to the ! Hot Springs instrument to produce J revenues to supplant that lost through enactment of the statewide prohibition Wants Sanity Test.
