Insulted Her.

Insulted Her.
Mrs. Annie Matthews, living on Bird
street. between Maryland avenue and the
P, w. & B. Railroad, went up to the
Municipal Court this morning to get out
warrant for the arrest of her husband
Peter Matthews, with whom she has not
been living for some time because he
would not support her. For several
weeks past she has been insulted by him
on the streets, and becoming tired Of the
annoyance she decided to appeal to the
law. She was accompanied by her aunt.
While in Clerk Hyland's office waiting
to have the warrant drawn the mayor
entered and, she says, told her that he
was mayor and transacted all business
with the ladies. She then stated her
case and he said:
"You don't want to live with this man
do youf"
She replied: ''No, I have not lived
with him for several years, and do not
want to live with him, as he refused 60
support me, "
"Well, you're nice looking woman"
responded the mayor. You run around
with other men, don't you.
She denied the assertion and began to
cry bitterly. He told her that che didn't
want any tears bnere. mere were Two
drunken buns back in the cells and he
had been bothered by them crying all
the morning
The aunt here spoke in defence of her
niece and the mayor said:
shut up, you have nothing to do
with It,"
Here Chief Of Police Swiggett inter
posed an objection and told the mayor
that the woman should be protected, but
the mayor said that he was attending to
this matter, and Mr.. Swiggett meekly
subsidized
Mrs Matthews left the office without
obtaining the warrant. threatening to
have the name Of the mayor inserted in
one at some other place for gross insult.
