better advertisement for themselves
than beating women. The cuinrits

Mrs. John Boland an inhuman maui
ing because she refused to allow him
TO search her house, and Mike Shinnick,
a nurse at st. James hospital, who cru
ely treated his aged wife because she
asked for money with which to buy
food.

they were arrested. The practice Of

Hurley. Mrs. John Boland of No. 105

quarters and stated to the chief that

three companions knocked at her door
and demanded permission to 90

what purpose and by what authority.
and Hurley replied that they were Off
GERS. and that ii did not matter for
what purpose AS they had no search
warrant and she knew of no reason for
searching her house she refused to al
low the men to enter. At that Hurley
pushed open the door, knocked a lighted
candle out of Mrs Boland's hand and
dragged her out in the street, where
he proceeded to beat and kick her in an
outrageous manner. Mrs. Bolands sis
ter-in-law, who lives near by, chaneed
TO see the assault, and ran out of her
house to interfere, when Hurley pulled
a gun and fired a shot. Mrs. Boland
was unable to say whether he fired al
her sister-in-law or in the air. Hurley
and his companions then left
Mrs. Boland was afraid to come up
town TO report the matter so she
waited for daylight.

ter. as interpreter, Mrs. Shinnick being
of Austrian birth and unable TO speak
English. The child stated that her
father is employed regularly al the Sis
ters hospital, and recently received
$500 from the old country, but refused
to provide properly for his family. Last
Saturday evening, the child said. Shin
nick came home and her mother asked
him for money to buy food. He became
enraged during some words that fol-
lowed, and proceeded to beat and kick

of age, presented evidences of the rough
treatment she had received, In badly
discolored cheek and marks on the
throat where she had been choked She
complained also of pain in her side.
