A man was brought before the court upon the complaint of his wife, says the Berliner Illustrirte Zeltung. While the prisoner was testifying, the judge made it clear that he intended to be harsh with him; so his wife becaike frightened, and when called to the stand refused to give any testimony. In fact, she retracted all her accusations. “So your husband didn’t strike yon then?” said the judge. “Where did you get that black eye?” “I struck it accidently on the mantelpiece.” “So! And that piece bitten out of your ear — he didn't do that, either?” “No, no, your honor. I did that myself!”
