AT THE WHIPPING POST.
Thirteen Lashes Laid Upon q Wife
Beater'S Back.

John Eisenburger, who was sentenced at
Baltimore, Md, to thirteen Iashes and term
of thirty days in Jail for brutally beating
his wife, has been introduced to the whipping
post.
Eisenburger was brought out from his cell
clad in only trousers and shirt. The latter
removed, and Eisenburger was forced
against the crOsslike post with his back ex-
posed. His legs were f: stoned to the post
and his arms were stretched along the cross
piece, his hands being fastened, one to each
end, thus stretching his skin and rendering
it more susceptible to the lash.
The preliminaries were quickly arranged,
and Deputy Sheriff Roseman, mounting the
platform and raising his arm slightly alOft
brought down the lash with sharp, quick
mOvementupon the bare back. A great long
welt showed where it had fallen. Eisenbur-
ger WINGED, gritted his teeth, and then set
himself to receive the other twelve lashes
They fell at short, regular intervals of about
one second each until the bakers dozen or
dered by the court had been administered.
Eisenburger endured the ordeal without
murmur, never opening his mouth through
out the whipping. There were thirteen fresh
welts across his back which were rather
CORY looking, the blood having spurted from
the places where the ends of the cat struck
