Raleigh, Oct. 26—A bride of only a few months, Mrs. Wade Justice will not let jail bars separate her from Mr. Justice. For over two weeks she has been in two jails with her husband, who is awaiting trial on a charge of stealing an automobile. She not only stays in jail during the day but she sleeps in the corridor adjoining the cell where her husband is locked up. Held a prisoner in the Raleigh jail, Justice has the company of his wife except at meal times. She leaves him then and gets her meals outside at a boarding house. He eats the regular meals served all prisoners. With the exception of meal-times, she never leaves him.
Wade Justice, the husband prisoner, was arrested in Danville, Va., when found in the possession of a Ford stolen from D.B. Phillips, of this city. He and his wife were stopping at a hotel there. He was jailed. Mrs. Justice went to jail, too, but not as a prisoner. After staying in jail there for a week, Justice was brought to Raleigh by Officer Crutchfield. Mrs. Justice came with them. The prisoner was placed in the city jail and his wife accompanied him there.
