Tale Of Cruelty From
Tho Water Front.
Case of Grossly Inhuman Treatment
Reported to the Police for
Investigation,

A terrible tale of inhuman cruelty to
a woman on an American ship in this
harbor is now going the rounds of the
ships here For several days it has
been generally known that woman at
present here is to all intents being
slowly murdered through the passion
of her husband and the interference of
relatives by marriage. The matter has
been called to the attention of the
police and an effort will be made to
nave relief gwen the sufferer, who has
made no complaint to outsiders herself,
but whose sister has been the means of
letting it be known to what terrible
lengths some people will go.
The tale of cruelty starts in the colo
uies. where the man and woman were
married. 1t is said that soon after the
marriage the wife was found to be IL a
delicate condition. and the parents of
the husband forced her to perform an
operation which very nearly caused her
death. As she grew weaker a physician
was called in and he at once saw what
was the matter, and said that II the
woman died it was his opinion that
somebody would have charge of muir
der to answer for.
When she had recovered another
operation more fiendish than the first
vas proposed, and chloroform was
about to be administered to the pros
trated woman when with great effort
she left the vessel and made her way
home, where she lay at the point Of
death for many days. Ii came time for
the ship to sail and the wife refused to
accompany her husband unless her sis
ter was taken along. This was agreed
to, and on the voyage the woman nearly
succumbed through the husbands
treatment of her when she would from
time to time recover sufficiently to sit
up.
Now the ship is about ready to sail
again and the husband wants the sister
to stay here. He has offered her no
means to reach her home IN the colo
MES, and as she is penniles. she does
nos know what to do
