They Mar the Appearance OF Alexander &.
Hooe-The Assault CAse Dismissed.
An iron poker, terribly battered head and
an outraged husband figured in the Police
Court in an assault case. That Alexander s.
Hooe, messenger in the War Department, hsd
been given good thrsshing there could
be no doubt. Daniel F. Maury
an insurance agent, who appeared as the out
ragged husband. admitted that be struck every
blow charged against him and said be ought
to have done worse. Mrs. Maury keeps
boarding house at No. COL New Jersey avenue
northwest and Hooe is n boarder IN the house.
lie had boarded with Mrs. Maury for five years.
More than year ago the husband
suspicious OF undue intimacy between
his wife and the boarder we're aroused and
since that time the breach between his wife and
about o'clock the crash between them
came, and persons living in the vicinity
OF New Jersey avenue aud F streets
witnessed part Of the affair. The scant
wearing apparel that covered Hooe gave the
witnesses an idea of the character Of the affair.
The appearance of Policeman Herbert ended
the combat and the husband was placed under
arrest, while the injured man went back TO his
room and dressed his wounds.
II II say not guilty. responded Maury when
arranged There were bruises and on
his hand which he showed the court He had
received them during the struggle
Hooe whose injuries were of such q charac-
ter that his best friends could scarcely recog-
nize him, was sworn and questioned both by
the judge and by the defendant His answers
did not place him in a very favorable light.
The defendant, in his own behalf. admitted
the assault. He told the judge Of having found
his wife and Hooe togethera year ago and then
again yesterday.
When he went home Yesterday he no.
ticed things in the kitchen were upset
and when he went upstairs he his
son who was sick and he said that
bis mother was down stairs. Defendant
then went to his wife's ROOM Hooe was
getting off the bed and his wife ran down
stairs. Defendant grabbed the poker, which
was the only thing handy, and struck
Hooe several times. The latter grabbed
him and attempted to throw him down the
steps. but did not succeed. Then defendant
dragged him out of the house.
Defendant said that this partial separation
had existed for about five years
Witness Hooe was recalled
He said he kept liquor in his room and that
Mrs. Maury sometimes takes a drink with him
Mr.. Maury added that he had seen Hooe give
liquor to his (Maury's) fifteen-year-old daugh-
ter.
Judge Miller wanted to know what right Hooe
had to act in such a manner about Maury 8
house. The woman is Mr. Maury's wife and
the children are his.
You are under no obligation to look after
them" said the judge to Hooe. and when hus-
band catches fellow like you in his home and
thrashes him, I'll assure you that this court will
not harm him. This case is dismissed
II am much obliged to you. judge" said the
husband. II know you are a just man."
