"A case of wife-beating is reported t.
have occurred in the Fifth ward last Wed
nesday night, but we learn that the party
charged with the beinous offense strongly
denies having committed the deed, while
it is asserted that neighbors are well salts
fed that the charge can be proved. How
ever, the wife, quite an interested party
if accounts are true, does not come for
ward and take steps against her husband
Whatever this proves as to his innocence
orguilt. Wife-beating is crime that can
not be condoned by the community froI
any standpoint and whoever is guilty OF i
should suffer the extreme penalty of th'
/ law.
