In my opinion the whipping post is the
punishment that should be imposed on
wife beaters," said Judge kimball, emphat-
lcally, in the Police Court yesterday after
noon as he sentenced George G. Corless TO
eleven months and twenty-nine days in
jail, the limit of the law, for br..tally as
saultins his wife, Katie Corless. Hiram
Corless, the father of the defendant; Kate
Corless. his sister, and his wife testified
that the latter was yesterday repeatedly
struck and kicked by George, and that she
is now e mass of bruises.
The testimony showed that more than
once had Corless been guilty of similar
conduct, and in spite of his statement that
he merely pushed his wife aside the court
without hesitation sent him to Jail for e
year.
