Beat and Clicked
Sick Wife

Recalling the dark ages when
the cave man subdued his OBJ
streperous wife with clubs and
blows, the trial of Gust Vitos in
police court this morning on
charge of wife-beating fairly
made men and women shudder
as the witnesses detailed how
Vitos had choked and beaten and
thrown his sick wife around,
while his little 7-year-old SON
stood by with small stick trying
to protect his mother.
Vitos said that his wife and
babe were Ill and that he did not
want her to go into the fresh air
last Sunday morning SO ne re-
strained her by throwing her
down on the bed and holding her.
Neighbors told how the woman's
screams of pain and terror had
aroused them and how they had
rushed into the Vitos home at
1853 South e to find Vitos with a
club in one hand while he clutch
ed her by the throat. Others told
how he had choked her with one
hand and repeatedly struck her
in the face with the other until
blood streamed from her nose and
mouth, and how her neck bore
the marks of his fingers. One
woman declared he had choked
her until she was black In the
face and Capt. Read declared
Vitos had refused to have her
sent to a hospital when she was
on the verge of collapse from the
beating.
Justice Arntson fined Vitos
$3.50 and costs, the maximum
penalty.
