NOT STEALING
ACQUIRING HUSBAND’S CASH WOMEN APPLAUD VERDICT. BOSTON, August 24. Women applauded vigorously to-day when the court decided that when a wife takes money from her husband’s pockets she is not guilty of larceny. And, having gone,so far, the court decided to do the thing properly. After all, it said, a till or cash register was but ahotber pocket so far as a wife is concerned, and therefore a wife is no more guilty when she oiqjties her husband’s cash register than when she empties his pockets. .... These findings to-day resulted in Mrs Hetty Lang leaving the court all smiles and Lang uttering language; which all but sent him back to court as defendant instead of prosecutor.
