HUSBAND WITH
BEATING HER.
James and Rany.Kirhy Araigned
Before the Recorder stNight--
Are Held for Grand Jury.
WIFE TELLS her STORY.

James and Harry Kirby were ar
raigned before Recorder Pickersgill
last night in the police court, to an
swer to an alleged charge of assault
preferred against them by Jessie Kir-
by, the wife of Harry Kirby.
According to the story of Mrs.
Kirby, she was severely beaten and
otherwise injured by the two in her
home on Catalpa avenue recently.
Mrs. Kirby said that she was in bed
when her husband came home on the
night of the assault, and in reply to
question from him she went into her
sitting room. There she claims Har-
ry J. Kirby threw her on a sofa, and
choked her until she could hardly
breathe. She also asserts that her
husbands father, James Kirby, who
lives with them, came into the room,
and with his son, kicked and beat
her until she feared for her life. She
admitted that during the row she
threw a lamp shade at James Kirby,
who was, according to her story,
about TO choke her again. Later,
Mrs. Kirby said, she escaped to the
yard, where she went into Mysteries.
The father and son pleaded not
guilty, and We're represented by Law
yer Stephen f. Somogyi. Mrs. Kirby
had no counsel but told her story
without any omission in regard to the
conversation used at the time of the
alleged assault. Mrs. Kirby while
testifying, said that only for James
Kirby she and her husband would
now be living happily together.
Lawyer Somogyi said he would like
the grand jury to handle the case
and the recorder agreed. The ac-
cused were held in $500 to await
the trial.
James Kirby then made a charge
against Jessie Kirby for malicious
mischief, charging her with destroy
ing some of his wearing apparel. This
latter charge was also held for the
grand jury.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept ia mad
desire to see the presidents daughter,
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, at close
range caused a frightful panic yester-
day afternoon ut the unyeiling of the
Mckinley statue on the statehouse
grounds. Fearing that hundreds would
be crushed to death and in order to
prevent Il catastrophe, the elaborate
programme for the unyeiling was aban-
doned by Governor Harris and the
state officers in charge of the ceremo-
MES.
A woman standing in front of the
stand where Mrs. Alice Longworth was
tainted, and in the effort to carry her
out the crowd became unmanageable
and some of them rushed under the
seats prepared for the guests of the
state. Governor Harris attempted to
stop the panic, but he failed. Mrs
Longworth was told to arise, and may
be that might stop the panic. She did
so, but men began to yell and women
screamed
Mrs. Longworth coolly waved hel
hands, and the governor and Others
tried again to stop the panic. Sud
denly Mrs. Longworth grasped the cord
and unveiled the statue, but even this
did not stop the excitement, and the
whole programme was declared off.
The crowd was so large and crampcd
that It got beyond control. and the
shrieking of women and children who
were caught in the crush rapidly work
ed the crowd into a frenzy. Many wo-
men tainted and were carried out of
the crowd by the police. Mrs. Eliza
Louisa Muhn and Il negress were tram
pied on and had to be removed in an
ambulance.
Throughout the exciting scenes Mrs.
Longworth remained cool and self pos
sessed, but afterward she said that it
was the worst crush she had ever seen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longw0rth had an ex-
citing experience in escaping from the
excited crowds.
