CHOKING OF WIFE
MERELY AFFECTION

There was some little difference OF
opinion between Stanley KrzcZewsN
and his wife, In Justice Jeffries court,
Wednesday morning, as to Stanley $
conduct in his home, Tuesday night.
The wife declared that Stanley. very
drunk, had attempted to choke her
to death. Stanley insisted that the
liquor had merely stimulated his az
fections, and declared that he was
hugging her violently when she took
offense and screamed for Patrolman
Uppleger who arrested Stanley.
Anyway, Stanley was an affection
ate person in court. He threw him.
self gracefully on his young wifes
neck and wept great salt tears as he
protested his undying affection for
her. He begged for one more chance
10 live with her. She finally cons
sented to give him the one more
chance, provided he took the pledge.
The Judge administered the oath OF
office in the water wagon club Tor
n six months term, and Stanley ana
his wife departed, arm in arm.
