As the result of charge made against
them, Louis Cohen, tailor, and Harry
hoffman, cobbler, who occupy store on
Mill street, were given hearing before
Justice Risdon on Saturday night and
they were committed to Jail without bail.
The complainant was Mrs. Clara House
man, wife of John Houseman, who al
leges that late on the night of July 26
the defendants came to her house. After
they were admitted by her husband, she
was seized by Cohen, who held her and
prevented. her from making an cutlery
while HOFFMAN assaulted her. Having
heard some very ugly rumors in connec-
ton with this matter, Justice Risdon put
several pointed questions to the woman,
who became evasive with the evident pur-
pose of shielding her husband, who is al
legged to have threatened to kill her If she
said anything about the assault. One
day last week while he was on Garden
street, Mrs. Houseman approached Police
man George 81. Branson, and to him she
said she was afraid her husband would
kill her. She was advised to make a COM
plant against him. Another hearing
was to hsYe been held yesterday, but as
the result of searching investigation
made by the authorities Cohen and Kof-
man were discharged from custody and
Houseman was arrested for keeping dis
orderly house.
