HE BEAT HER UP-BUT ANYWAY
SHE WANTED HIM HOME


This is a story Of how some kind
people, out of pity for a wife who
seemed much abused, went to- much
trouble to fix everything up so that
the cruel husband would pay the
price Of his perfdy. But, behold!
Into the court of domestic relations
came Monday bride and groom of a
year. The bride, Mrs. Joseph Russo,
had the face of a Madonna as she
stood with bowed head over the tiny
infant in her arms.
Back of her, a sister of mercy,
stood Miss CaTUthers, nurse of the
court.
q have examined this woman"
she said, and there are many marks
of severe beatngs upon her body.
Her arm is all discOlOred and there
is other evidence that she has been
cruelty treated"
He beat me because I asked him
for a quarter to buy some soap and
sOmethin' for me to eat" said the
Madonna. He's a tough guy. He
won't come across with his pay. I
never seen the color of his envelope.
He makes me go out and work for
mine, and when | was hungry Sun
day he wouldn't come across with a
quarter, but he went to his mothers
and left me alone When he came
home at night he beat me because I
was crying"
Jaw, she said somethin' I didn't
like said Russo, the bridegroom. q
did beat her up because l didn't like
what she said"
"One hundred and COSTS" said
Judge Newcomer.
Would it be possible to change
the complaint to non-suppOrt, so the
wife may get some of the money!"
asked Miss CaTTUthers. HE will
probably pay the 500 fine to get out
and she will get nothing. But if the
COMPLAINT is changed we could make

and stay away from his wife or serve
the sentence anyway.
And everybody was happy.
But, behold! 81 want my husband
home" walled the Madonna yester-
day, after she had waited all morning
around the courtroom. "Al night l
cried because he is at his mothers
and I can't live like that. I want him
to come home and he says he can't
because yOuse will send him to the
pen. I got to have him back"
But, said the Judge, "he beat you
numerically and he will beat you
again"
q don't care. I want my man."
walled the Madonna.
And the judge wrote on a piece Of
paper that Joseph might return to
the abode of his bride.
