CURED HIS WIFEOF "GADDINC'
Connecticut Husband Locked Her In a
Room for Six Weeks.

connecticut HUSBAND Locked Her In a
Room for Six Weeks.
Husbands in New Haven, Conn
have a very effective method of curing
wives of the habit of "gaddine
around" One man named Bates, who
was afflicted with a gadding wife, es-
sayed to cure her by locking her up in
a room. He was driven to this act
because his helpmeet was rarely home
when she was wanted, and in cOnse-
Quence he seldom had a well-cooked
meal or a tidy house to come home to-
Instead of having a family row he
thought he would lock her up so that
he would know where to find her when
wanted. He fitted up an irOn-barred
and padlOcked door, and every day be-
fore leaving the house he locked his
wife in. This was done day after day
Soon the enighbors began to miss
Mrs. Bates, and there was much spec
ulation as to the cause. When the
ne'ghbors went to the door to call
and the house seemed deserted. This
seemed remarkable, for there was a
time when Mrs. Bates was seen abroad
every day. Finally the mystery was
explained. The neighbOrhOOd was
startled one day at the sight of Mrs.
Bates leaning out of third-story win
dow of her house shouting for help.
Soon a group of neighbOrs gathered
and to them the woman related a start
ling story. She claimed that for six
weeks her husband had kept her lock-
ed up in the house, and under no cir
cumstances would so much as give
her the liberty of stepping outside the
door in his absence. She had stood
the treatment as long as she could and
had decided to rebel. The excited
neighbors told the police the story, and
in few minutes an officer was sent to
investigate. He found the woman's
story true. The door of her room was
fastened with a huge iron bar pad
locked to the door casing. The police
sent at once for the womans husband
and made him unlock the door and
remove the bar and paddock.
