The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-12-28
FAIRFIELD

With one exception so far as known Christmas passed off in town delight fully and to the edification of all con- cerned. A little domestic infelicity was aired in Justice Wakemans court, about o'clock yesterday afternoon when a wife. named Mary, had her husband, named Paul, arrested for beating her. She appealed to Prose cutting Attorney King and he had warrant served. and the unhappy cou- pie were brought to the court room 1t seems that Mary had repented some what after causing the arrest of her husband, and she told modified story to the court. The upshot of it all was that Paul went out on Saturday eV- ening to purchase Christmas presents and on his way home stopped at a saloon on State street run by an AL derman, and took a couple of beers. When he cot home some friends called and they were treated to a little whis- key. Paul acknowledged that he might have been drunk and that possibly, in a fit of anger. by mistake, he beat his wife. It appears that Mary has fits of temper and sometimes they last for a day or two. Paul has got used to them and never strikes his wife unless he is drunk. He has served In the army for years and has an honor able d scharge. Considering all the circumstances. Attorney King recom- mended that the case be nolled upon the payment of costs. and it was so ordered.
