ONLY playing Says
Farmer accused OF
HORSEWHIPPING wife

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
SEAFORD, June 26.-Charged with
horsewhipping his wife, Howard Lane, a
prosperous farmer living two miles from
Seaford, was given hearing before
Magistrate W II. Thorne, on saturday.
and was held IN $500 bail for county
court. The case attracted a great deal
of attention.
Landreth Hill and Alonzo Matthews
testified that when passing the Lane
farm. they saw Mrs. Lane run out of the
house crying, and her husband close at
her heels slashing her with a horse whip
In his own defense Lane stated that
he and his wife were playing and
we're in no wise quarreling. Mrs.
Lane. when called to the stand. re-
fused to testify against her husband.
The magistrate. however. decided
that il was a case for further investi-
cation by the upper court. and held
lane in the above mentioned bail,
which the defendant furnished.
When Hill and Matthews told the
authorities several days ago that they
saw Lane whipping his wife, a war
rant was sworn out for the farmers
arrest Constable Thomas w. Scott
went to the house to serve the war
rant, but Lane is said to have escaped
at that time by jumping from a Sec
ond-story window and hiding in a
nearby woods. Later, the father OF
Lane agreed to produce his son be-
fore the magistrate when wanted and
he did so on Saturday.
