WOMAN RELATES
PATHETIC STORY
SAYS HUSBAND TREATED HER
BRUTALLY
REQUESTS FOR MONEY BRING
KICKS AND BLOWS
Case Dismissed by Justice Because OF
insufficient Evidence, but More
Complaints viii Be Sworn
Out Today

Because of insufficient evidence a
charge of battery against Michael Hal
lisey, a mining man of lib Central
avenue who was arrested Wednesday
ON warrant sworn to by his wife, Mrs.
Anna M. Hallisey, was dismissed by
Police Justice Austin yesterday after
noon. Complaints charging a similar
offense will be sworn out today against
the husband; his brother, John HALL
sey, and his brother-in-law, Dan
Cronin.
Mrs. Hallisey, a nice appearing little
woman of 26, told graphic story OF
alleged brutal treatment by her nus
band She declared the trouble arose
when she asked Hallisey for money
with which to purchase oil and
matches.
The witness spoke rapidly in relat-
ing her story, much to the discontinue
of Isidore Dockweiler, attorney for Hal
lisey, who was attempting TO take
notes on her testimony.
"The trouble occurred Wednesday
morning. said Mrs. Hallisey. Tues
day 1 asked my husband for money to
buy oil and matches, but he did not
give it to me and we retired in the
dark that night, because there was no
oil for the lamps. Wednesday morn
ing while 1 was dressing the baby 1
again asked him for money. He became
angry and rushed-to me, seized me by
the hair and threw me against the
wall, then he hit me in the face and
knocked me down. He beat me on the
body and when arose he threw an
iron at me. 1t missed my head and
crashed through a glass door. 1 got
the iron and threw it back at him but
missed.
after calling me vile names, he
picked I'D the baby and went out the
back door and down the alley. I didn't
see him again until he was arrested.
Later 1 found the child and took her
home with me.
when my husband was released on
bond, he, his brother and brother-1n-
law came home about 9 o'clock that
night and they beat me again.
Hallisey denied having beaten his
wife and his story confiicted with that
of his wife. Because of the difference
in the testimony of the husband and
wife and for lack of corroborative tes-
timony on the part of the prosecution
the Justice discharged Hallisey.

CHRISTMAS WEATHER
MAKES ITSELF FELT
Heavy Frosts Generally Reported, but
Little Damage incurred, Thanks
to SkiIIful Smudging and
Timely Information

Genuine Christmas weather visited
Los Angeles yesterday, the tempera-
ture falling to 39 degrees. 1t was the
coolest day since December 20, 1905.
Heavy frosts were general, even In the
thermal, or frostless, belt.
Reports from Redlands and other
orange centers in Southern California
indicate that the orange crop was not
seriously hurt. Improved methods of
smudging to keep UP the temperature
in the groves added to the excellent
service repderd by tn local weather
bureau in sending out notices of the
probable frost has made loss to the
orange growers much less likely.
What remains of the tomato crop is
ruined. but the loss is not consider
able. as most of it had been shipped
already The celery crop was slightly
damaged.
Mr.. Wollaber of the local bureau is
devising a system of card notices to
be sent out to growers, advising them
of probable changes in temperature,
which might damage their crops. Those
desiring the card service will receive
it free by, sending him their names
and addresses.

.BICYCLIST RUN OVER
BY CAR MAY RECOVER
Improving Steadily, Despite Fractures
of six Ribs and Collar Bone, Be-
sides Lacerations and
Contuslons

e. A. Barber, a carpenter and real
estate agent living at 817 South Hill
street, who was seriously injured by
being crushed by a Los Angeles-Pacfhc
car near his home yesterday morning,
will recover, according to the attend
ants at the Clara Barton hospital
Barber was riding his bicycle almost
directly in front of his home when he
was struck by the car. He was thrown
from his wheel in front of the fender
and rolled several yards, finally Slip
ping under it. He was only few
inches from the front wheels OF the
car when it was brought to a stop.
So terribly bruised was he about the
arms face and body that the car crew
thought he was dead. He did not lose
consciousness, and spoke to the men
who lifted him from under the car.
When taken to the receiving hospital
the police surgeon found he had sus-
tained fractures of six ribs and of his
collarbone on the left side. On his right
elbow was a laceratlon elgnt lncnes
long, and the skin had been ground
off his nose and left shoulder. There
also were a number of slight lacera-
ttons on his forehead and back of his
head.
Although his injuries caused him
great suffering, Barber never gave any
outward indication of his pain. de
conversed with the surgeons while they
We're strapping the broken ribs, stitch
ing up his cuts and putting dressings
on his wounds.
At first it was feared the fractured
ribs had punctured his lungs and prov-
ably would cause his death, but his
condition has improved steadily.
The injured man evidently failed to
notice the approach of the rapidly NOV
ing car, as he was attempting to cross
the tracks and was between the rails
when struck.
Late last night Barber was resting
comfortably.

The railroad commissioners expressed
