maltreated and neglected in a most
cruel manner, was removed to the
Lackawanna hospital on Saturday, at
the instance Of Mrs. w. b. Duggan,
agent of the Associated charities.
Mrs. McAnulty had been an invalid
for some time, and because of her
squalid surroundings, neglect and brutal
treatment from her husband, was drag
gng out a most pitiable existence. Her
body bore a number of bruises, which
she said We're from blows administered
by her husband. A warrant has been
issued for his arrest.

and entanglements for which my government Is
