one of the cases in Police Court yester-
5av was that against Baddley, charged
with dsorderly conduct and beating his
wife. He made statement in his own
behalf. but the trend of it was to the
s4ect that he had not struck his wife. Po-
heman Umbach, the arresting officer,
gave an account of the part he took in
the case. but as the attack on Mrs. Bad
dley was behind closed doors, the officer
could not testify about 1t. He told of the
rattling glass in the bar which first at
tracted his attention, of the conversation
he had with Baddley when the door was
finally opened, and how the door was
closed on him, with the brief explanation:
There's nothing wrong in here. My wife
is simply crazy" Umbach also told Of
the appearance of the bar when he entered
il later on. AS the disturbance had then
stopped. however, there was no testimony
he could give that would have a direct
bearing on the case.
When BaddIey stepped outside 20 pay a
hackman he is said to have had some
words and then it was Umbach arrested
him. Aside from the dispute with the
hackman, Policeman Umbach considered
the wife inside, bruised and scared and
the general torn-up appearance of the bar,
warranted his making the arrest for the
purpose of holding Baddley for a fuller
Investigation, if for no other reason. 1t
was not known at that time how seriously
she had been injured, and for this reason
the officer did not propose to take chances.
Recorder Hartrdge was not satisfied
with the proof before him. He evidently
thought there was another side to the
case that had not been developed. The
Recorder wanted to know something OF
what occurred before the officer arrived.
whether the wife had been beaten. and
with this in view, he directed that Bad
dley give bond in the sum of 500 for his
appearance this morning, and that Mrs
Baddley be summoned as a witness. Dr.
r. S. Kenan, who was a witness in the
case, and who also attended Mrs. Bad
dley said it was his impression she stated
she had not been attacked by her hus-
band He was not positive about this
however.
II IS uncertain whether Mrs. Baddiey

her former home, on Oglethorpe avenue

In speaking of her husband, Mrs. Bad
dley had no complaint to make against

Mrs Baddley Is apparently from a good
family, converses well, and shows she
mas been in good society. She is rather
stout robust, and looks to be 50 years of
age. She is spoken of highly by her
Heshbors. She Is from England, and
stated she Intended to make her perman-
eht home with a sister there. 1t is not
