been disposed of, Judge Homer gave his
attention to criminal matters.
The first defendant to be called was
Harry Simons, of Vincentown, who was
rebuked by the court. The
young man pleaded guilty to assaulting
his wife, fracturing her collar bone.
Prosecutor Atkinson stated that while
it was serious case, the wife had re-
Tented and wanted to save her husband. |
Simons said he was intoxicated at the |
time and had no recollection of the as
sault.
Judge Horner's remarks indicated just |
what he thought of men who would beat
helpless women, and he was in such a |
state of disgust that if he had passed
sentence then, the defendant would have
had reason to feel sorry that he was ever
born.
The court said: 81 would like to see
you taken out into the back yard, dashed
to tree and the strong arm of the sher-

is too good for you. You ought to have

guilt and will spend four months in jail.
Thomas C. Shinn, of Mount Holly,
who previously pleaded guilty to desert
ing his wife and children, came up for
sentence, and the prisoner was conscious
Of his humiliating position. Prosecutor
Atkinson gave the court some informa-
lion of when the prisoner had obtained
money under false pretenses, and said it
was one of the worst cases he knew of.
Judge Homer said the case had been |
investigated. The fact that
Shinn waived requisition and trial was
to be considered. The case
was particularly aggravating.
"You were good officer and the court |
and Others took particular interest in
you. When you went wrong some people
went out of their way to caution you to
change your career. am sorry to see
