and bruising Sarah FOLEY, pleaded guilty
to the first charge and not guilty to the
second in the Municipal Court yesterday.

several chairs broken in the house and
found Foley drunk.
Foley in taking the stand acknowledged
that he drank very hard, but had never
lifted hand against his wife.
Judge Robinson read Foley's record
which is one of frequent committals to
Jail for drunkenness and assaults.
The judge fined Foley $40 and costs for
assault and sent. him to Jail for go days
for being common drunkard.
The case against Thomas Thomson
Clouse was continued until Monday, the
