George Allen, who in fit Of causeless
jealousy seized his wife, threw her to the
ground, and cody and deliberately threw
vitrol on her person and face, burning her
fearfully and almost killing her. After
months of intense suffering, she recovered
from the fearful abuse, but her features
was SO disfgured that her appearance excited
indignation and pity among her friends
and loathing among strangers. She was
left totally unprovided for, while Allen by

the pious officials and upon their recomen-
