WARD, THE HUMAN BRUTE.
He Pleads Guilty to Battery Upon
His Wife and Will Be Sen
tenced To-Da

Dennis Ward the longshoreman who so
brutally kicked his wife last Sunday
night endangering her life, appeared be-
fore Judge Graham yesterday to answer
the charge of battery against him. He
pleaded guilty, making the excuse that he
was drunk at the time and did not know
what he was doing. The Judge ordered
him TO appear for sentence this morning,
and he will get the full limit the law
allows.
The police regret that a more serious
charge could not be made against Ward
as facts have come to light showing that
his conduct in the past to his wife was
more than brutal. Two years ago she
nearly died from his horrible treatment
and her babe was stillborn. He seemed
to take a fendish delight in knocking her
down and kicking her when she was in a
delicate condition.
