VERSATILE JOE RILEY.
Hanging None Too Good for This Elmi-
IA Man.


Elmira, N. III, Oct. n. Joseph D.
Riley, brawny Iather, is ia jail here
charged with a horribly brutal assault
upon his wife, who lies upon hospital
cot, bruised and bleeding and likely to

The assault was committed Thursday
night but did not come 10 the attention
LOT the police until yesterday afternoon.
Riley had a dispute with his wife over
money matters. He first brutally at
tackled her with his fists, knocking her
down Then he stripped off her clothes
and whipped her with q heavy whip into
insensibility, using the butt end Of the
whip. The flesh was horribly cut by the
whip, many cuts extending up and down
her back. He then thrust hot iron in
to her mouth, burning away part OF her
tongue. He also applied the iron 70
other parts Of her body and kicked the
Unconscious woman. He then left the
house.
Recovering consciousness she made her
way to neighbor's home who cared for
her until Yesterday. While in his cell
last night Riley told the police and news
paper men the details of bis assault. 1t
Is the worst case Of wife whipping that
ever occurred in these parts. City Ply

have killed an ordinary man. Riley is
