WOMEN CAPTURE
A W|FE,bEA7ER.
Shameless Creature Locked in
And Caught by the Assist
ance OF Fair Sex.
He IS NOW IN THE CITY JAIL.
Most Horrible Treatment Accorded the
Woman To Whom lie Had Been
Married for six Years.

G.. A. Sharon, a railroad conductor,
is in cell at the city Jail, and il ever
a man had reason to be glad for being
In such place, Sharon has cause for
rejoicing just at this time. That the
fellow Is alive, speaks well for the
people Of the neighborhood in which
he lives, In fact, II he had attempted
to escape from the house In which he
was locked, It Is very probable that
the women who stood guard would
have seriously injured him.
Sharon resides with his wife al 45S
north Third West street, Yesterday
morning he struck her a violent blow
with his fist, while she was lying IN
bed. lie went away during the day,
but last night returned home, and
first began renewing the trouble by
tauntng the woman, with the battered
condition OF her face, the result of his
own vicious blows. Soon thereafter he
knocked her down and repeatedly
Kicked her while she lay helpless. He
dragged her into a bath room, with
the intention of numbering her. for
he held razor in his hand and WELD
ed II threateningly. Tie ran TO the
front door to lock It. and while he was
gone she ran from the house and
sought refuge at neighbors There
she remained all night. Today he
again attacked his wife. the women OF
the neighborhood, after hearing of the
wretchs misdolngs, gathered around
the house. and prevented Sharon's es-
cape. while word was sent To police
headquarters. The back door had
been locked by them. So that he could
not get out that Way, and the fellow
did not dare make the attempt at
the front door, for there stood the
thoroughly aroused members II the
fair sex, ready To wreak vengeance on
the wretch who had treated So shame
fully frail woman. and that woman
his wife.
The patrol was quickly upon thescene
with Officers William Hilton and Bur-
ton in the wagon. Sharon was taken
from the house and hustled into the
wagon amid the mutterings OF the
gathered crowd of ladies. They could
scarcely keep their hands from doing
violence to the Wife, heater
The condition OF Mrs. sharon was nit
liable. The eyes We're black and swol.
len and the nose had the appearance ~
being broken. one arm was entirely
helpless. and the member is believed TO
he dislocnted The chest and ribs of the
unfortunate woman are also bruised
and a physician was called TO attend
her.
The couple have been married six
years. and Mrs. Sharon says that dur
ing the whole Of that time she has hecn
made the object at intervals of her hus-
bands wrath. Lately the attacks nave
become more frequent and more vi
clous until It seems that he is intent
upon taking the woman's life. The
people OF the neighborhood in which the
Sharons reside are in greatly. excited
state Of mind over the occurrence and
they are in hopes that Sharon will be
made to pay dearly for his brutal acts.
