SIX MONTHS IN JAIL.
William Booker's Testimony Convicts
His Wife Of Assault.

Fannie Booker, colored, was in the dock
in the United States branch of the Police
Court today with her two small children
one a babe of eight months which she car
ried in her arms, the other three years Of
age.
Her husband, William. with his head
swathed in bandages appeared against her,
and his testimony made 1t apparent that
his appetite for liquor and jealousy on the
part Of both were the cause Of his wife's ar
rest. According to his story he remained
out all of Saturday night. and when he
reached his home on Ontario avenue, in the
county. at an early hour yesterday morning
his wife attacked him with brick, which
she used on his head, and inflicted a wound
on his left hand with q butcher knife.
Fannie's version of the difficulty was to
the effect that she went out in front of her
home to persuade her husband to go into
the house, and that he knocked her down
and choked her, and then she struck him
with the brick to make him release his hold
on her neck. The woman said her husband
later attacked her with a stone, and that
she struck at him with q butcher knife,
cutting him on the hand. Judge Kimball
decided that a charge of assault had been
substantiated against the woman. and SEN
fenced her to a term of six months in jail.
Judge Kimball communicated with the
board of childrens guardians, and an ar
rangement will be made to have the chill
dren's grandmother care for them until
their mother is released from JAIL
