Wife Says She Was Sold In Unlikely Spree
Buffalo reporters describe a case in which Ernest Phillips of Akron and Edward Smth, a farmer near Lockport, were held for the grand jury on charges of selling a wife. The woman testified she lived in a barn with her children and that Phillips sold her to Smith for 750, who then turned her out. Smith admitted living with the woman but denied knowing she was Phillips wife. The accused said the sale followed a tavern talk about housing, Phillips allegedly offering his wife for 150. Smith contended he borrowed a quarter and the woman rode away with him. Mrs Phillips remains in custody.
