THfebeater Gets

His Ozvn Medicine.

IN LDERMAN ROBERT cONAHAN.
IN of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who has only
q u one arm and hslf-the left being
taken OF close to the elbow-has solved
the much-discussed problem of how to
cure a wife-beater. He does not send
the perpetrator to jail-he whips them
right in his own office.
Alderman Robert Conahan Is very mod
est about his treatment 1T might not
be a good thing for aldermen always" he
said. IF the prisoner Is much bigger, but
/ believe in ii thoroughly 1t does the
average wife-beater no good to fine him.
II he pays. his suffering wife and family
are bereft of the money, and they usual
ly need all they get. If he goes to Jail,
he lives there comfortably while his wife
suffers at home. No, sir, don't fine him,
don't Jail him. Give him dose Of his
own medicine The law in this state does
not allow whipping post. but I'd like
to see the jury that would convict an
alderman for thrashing man who has
beaten his WIFE,"
Frank Sarkosky was up for wife-beat-
ing, and IT was not the first time on the
same charge. His usual plea was drunk

her eyes blackened, sometimes with her
face half covered with court plaster, or
her arm in sling would tell almost the
same story. She needed no further evil
