HACKMAN MAYO JAILED
His Wife Tried Vainly to Save Her
Brutal Husband.
She Conces, led the Details Of the As
~aut, But Judge Kimball Gave
Him Al Stiff Sentence.

fhe sad case of Frank Mayo, the colored
hackman charged with assaulting his wife,
Laura at their home, No 214L street north
west, last Saturday night, as told in to-
days Morning Times, was quickly disposed
of in Judge Kimball's court this morning.
The injured woman was the first and only
witness called. and when she took the stand
she appeared TO be afraid to prosecute her
brutal husband, relating as little of her
story as possible.
She told the Judge that she was thrown
into the cab with her little child, after she
had been assaulted, hastily driven to Jack
son City, but She failed to mention anything
about her husband threatening to kill her,
the child and himself after he discovered
that she was not already dead, when they
reached the Virginia side OF the Potomac.
This part of the story she related to a
Times reporter last evening, but when
questioned by the court she denied that her
husband ever threatened to take her life.
When the woman removed the heavy
veil which covered her face. it could be
plainly seen that she had been terribly
beaten. Her eyes were both badly swollen
and beneath her left eye there was an ugly
knife wound. As soon as Judge kinibail
saw her face he looked as thongh he had
formed his opinion OF the whole affair, but
Mayo, who pleaded guilty TO the charge.
was then put on the stand and allowed an
explana tion.
He testified that when he returned home
Saturday night he found his wife in Company
with Philip johnson, huckster. He con-
tiDued to tell a long tale about his family
affairs, but the Judge thought he had bru-
tally assaulted her without provocation
and Mayo was given sixty days in jail.

Il was another delay this morning. At
torney John Ridout appeared for Mr..
Gray and asked contin uapce on the
ground that the case had already been
heard when Mr. Bchoepf was sentenced
to the workhouse two months ago.
sECURED A CONTINUANCE
In that case writ Of habeas corpus had
been denied by Judge Cole, but the case
had gone to the court Of appeals, had been
put on the special calendar and would
come up early in October.
In rendering his decision, said Mr.. Ridout,
Judge Cole recommended that there be no
further prosecutions TIL the court Of ap-
peals had occasion to review the case
and finally determine whether the writ OF
habeas corpus would give Mr.. Schoepf re-
lief from the penalty tmposed for his law
breaking.

Commissioner Ross is in Illinois with his
