Says he Fed Glass to Her - Jersey Woman Accuses Her Husband of Attempting Murder.

Plainfield, N.J. Charged by his wife with having attempted to kill her by putting ground glass in her food, James H. CARSON was arraigned here before Justice SMALLEY. His arrest caused a sensation in Plainfield, as he is a prominent member of the church.

The motive for the alleged attempt on her life, Mrs. CARSON says, was her husband's infatuation with another woman. The CARSONS have four children.

Mrs. CARSON alleges that she first discovered ground glass in a cup of coffee. She said she at once suspected her husband and watched him closely. Later, she says, she found what she suspected was ground glass in her food and had the food analyzed.
