Woman Seriously Injured and May Die
She Says Her Husband Beat Her-He
Tells a Different Story.


A Woman Seriously Injured and May Die
She Says Her Husband Beat Her-He
Tells a Different Story.
City Physician Woodburn, of Allegheny,
yesterday visited the house of Jos. Kriner
at No. 674 East Ohio street, for the purpose
of examining the condition of Kriner's
wife, who is lying seriously i'll from alleged
i'll treatment by her husband. The latter is
still in the lookup awaiting the results Of
his wife's injuries.
The physician found the woman to be in
a critical condition. She had been attended
by a physician of upper Allegheny, but he
gave up the case when the woman's hus-
band was arrested. Mrs. Kr1ner did not
have cent in the house and her husband,
it is said, refused to purchase medicine or
food for her. For the past few days she has
been growing worse, without any physician
to prescribe for her or give her medicines.
The husband tells different story, and
says he is a much abused man. He works
in Groetzinger's tannery, and has about $500
in a building and loan association. He also
has two children, one of them being but 9
months old. He says his wife has been
neglecting her household duties and going
out with other men. When he demonstrated
with her, he said, she ran away. leaving him
to take care of the children. This practice
she had INDUCED in until he could stand it
no longer, and in order to keep her at home,
he allowed her to do as she pleased.
On Tuesday morning last Kriner left the
house intending to go to work at the tan
merry. His wife left the house with him,
saying that she was going to run away. He
coaxed her to go home, but she refused and
started to run. She ran across Ohio street
to the railroad wall, beneath which was the
West Penn tracks, and jumped over. The
fall was about ten feet. She scrambled to
her feet and tried to cross the tracks. A
freight train stood in the way. She jumped
on to the platform of one of the cars and
down on the other side. Her husband al
leges that she was injured by jumping over
the wall and this is the cause of her illness.
He will be kept in Jail until it is known by
DR.. Woodburn whether his wife will recov-
er or not.

A Pleasing Episode in the Life Of Knight
of the BeII-COrd.
There is mad conductor on one of the
Allegheny street cars. A reporter boarded
this particular conductors car yesterday
afternoon, and was regaled with a tale Of
woe to the effect that a woman, in attempt
ing to stop the car, had rung up fare on
the register, and the. conductor was conse-
quently out of pocket cents. This harrow
ing tale was supplemented with the infor-
nation that such an awful calamity would
not happen him again. 1t was his first ex-
perience, but once was enough.
Man proposes, but woman disposes. He
had hardly finished his story when the fa-
miliar click-click of the register reached
his ear, and, to bis horror, be saw that
another of the female sex had robbed him in
the interest of his employers by ringing up
two more fares. He was heartbroken. and
for the remainder of the trip maintained a
more or less dignifed silence.
