BEATING WIFE
AND DAUGHTER,
ALLEGED DEED
Concord, Nd, Farmer
Arrested and Held in
$500 Bail.
Charged With Furnishing
Women for Going to
Dance.

ROCKVILLE. Md. May lL-Charged
with beating mis- wife and seventeen
year-old daughter, il Is alleged. because
they attended a dance without his per-
mission. Richard Evans. a farmer and
livery stable man OF Concord, near this
place, was arrested last night and
brought before Justice of the Peace
Clifford II. Robertson. The warrant was
sworn out by Edward C. Boswell, a
brother-in-law OF the accused man. who.
when he learned of the treatment 10
which his sister and niece are said to
have been subjected, took immediate
steps to prosecute Evans. Justice
Robertson placed Evans under 800
bond for his appearance at preliminary
hearing on Monday week.
Whipping Post or Prison.
When the news of the assault became
known here it created great excitement
and there were threats that summary
" lment would be meted out 10
hs. The punishment prescribed by
in this jurisdiction for wife beat
is the whipping post or imprison-
Emit FOR not more than one year. in
he discretion of the trial judge
4 II is alleged that Evans forbade his
wife and daughter, Bessie. attending
dance given at Glen Echo on lasI
Wednesday night and. becoming angered
on account of their disobedience PR
ceeded TO punish them Evans is said
10 have inflicted the beating with an
inch stick. and also to have kicked his
wife and daughter in the ribs several
times. AT first il was feared that Mrs.
Evans condition was quite serious, but
later reports indicate that she will be
able to appear at the preliminary hear
ing and tell OF the affair.
Wife's Brothers Determined.
Evans would have little TO say about
the charge and il is not known at this
time what defense will be offered at the
trial. So far as is known this is the
first Offense OF this nature ever alleged
to have been committed by Evans, and
an acquaintance of the family said this
afternoon that his reputation had al
ways been good.
Although for a time il was feared
that some OF the citizens would try to
wreak summary vengeance upon the &C
cuscd man. and a whipping was freely
spoken of by some Of the more indig-
nant ones, il is not thought at this time
that any action will be taken until the
case is called for trial and the public Il
given an opportunity to hear both sides
Of the affair. II is understood that Mrs
Evans brothers, three in number. will
push the charges against her husband
and insist that his deed shall not 20 IN
punished. So far no other reason has
been given for the alleged beating ex-
cept that Evans resented the idea OF the
girl and her mother attending the dance
