WIFE bEATERS
SENT To JAIL

What may be effectual medicine
was dished up by Justice Mann
yesterday to a couple Of wife beat
ers, although the penalties seem
slight for the crime. He fined one
81, which is to pay the costs of
their prosecution, and each must
serve 10 days in the city jail,
which means each must serve that
length of time breaking rock.
The first was Thomas White,
who thrashed his wife while he
was drunk. The second was Rob-
ert Blanchard, who not only
trounced his spouse but caused her
an attack of nervous hysteria by
marching her around the house
with a pistol pressed against the
back of her head. Neighbors in
terferred in his case and in the
melee Blanchard received a need
ed black eye.
