BEASTLY DEED
Eenry Trott Beats His Wife and
Mother-in-Law in a Shame
full Manner.

Because his wife would not join him
and party of friends sin drinking
several boUtles of uno last night, Mrs.
Trott, wife of Henry, better known
as 'Cotton" Trott, living in the south
west part of the city is suffering from
a severely bruised face, as well as be-
ing internally injured. Mrs. Katie
Green, mother of Mrs. Trott, was
beaten In a most brutal manner; her
face, head and eyes showing how well
he completed his task.
The Chieftain reporter met Mrs.
Green In U. S. Marshal Darrough's
Office this morning and she cheerfully
gave him the following version Of the
affair:
about IL o'clock last night Trott
came home with some friends and IL
sisted that his wife join them in
drinking uno. This she refused to do
He began abusing her shamefully; left
the house and went as far as the front
porch. He returned and began his
abuse Iand walking up to the bed
where his wife was lying with her lit
tie five year old baby, he slapped her
face, beat her with his fist, and then
dragged her out on the front porch
and jumped on her prostate body, say
ing dam you, you won't drink with
me, will you?''-guess you want to
drink with someone else. He then
left the house. Word was sent to me
to come and stay the rest of the night
with my daughter. / went over and
had been in bed but a few minutes
until Trott returned and began abus-
ing his wife again. got out OF bed
aud went TO the phone to telephone
an officer, but before / succeeded in
doing so he struck me fairly in the
face and knocked me down, he then
beat me in a shameful manner, as ycu
can see by my face and head, and re-
marked, dam you, IN kill you. -
"You'll phone for an officer will your"
All the time he was beating me his
wife and baby lay in bed sobbing and
pleading for him not to kill me, but
paid no attention to it. He is the
most unhumane brute that ever lived
and this is not the first time that he
has beat his wife up. To show his
utter disregard for humanity. when
his little child began crying with
fright, he gave it hard slap on the
side of the head and sent it sprawling
on the bed. l never gave Trott any
cause in my life for treating me In
such a manner and only went to their
house to protect my daughter, as any
mother would dc. After he left the
house he called up over the phone
and asked if we didn't want someone
to bathe our eyes. My daughter .and
l were both covered with blood from
head to foot and great wads OF hair
were scattered over the floor that
we're pulled from his wife's head. It
is time the law was taking this man
into custody before someone has to
sacrifice their life at his brutal and
inhuman hands,"
Mrs. Green exhibited her wounds
to the Chieftain man, all of which
show the yiciousness of the attack
upon her and from the fact that these
occurrences are periodical 1t is a duty
to humanity that a strict enforce
M mt of the law in his case be carri-
ell out. We are living in an enlight-
ened and civilized age and such at
rocious deeds should and will not be
liberated by the law abiding, liberty
loving people of Vinita.
Judge Thos. :. Farrar issued war
rlut for the arrest of Trott, charging
him with aggravated assault on his
wife and mother-in-law. The officers
have not as yet found the offender.
