Wife Beaten Given 3 Months in Jail

"He's one OF the worst buns in the
city of Putnam" said Captain Ryan,
Wednesday morning, "he hangs
around pool rooms and tries TO get
men to get liquor for him and get
them into trouble as he is on the black
list" This was,the answer the Cap.
tain gave the court when asked what
he knew of Frank Anger, who was
sentenced to 6 months in Jail for in.
toxication and beating his wife.
There were two plants against
Anger. The first was made out June
9th, 1916 and charged intoxication,
assault on his wife and being a COM
mon drunkard. The second was dated
August 9th, this year, and charged
intoxication and assault on his wife.
Anger plead guilty TO the intoxica-
ton charge on August 9th and not
guilty to the other counts.
Mrs Anger testified that in June,
1915, The was drunk and struck her
three times in the face. That he got
drunk every chance he got and
worked two weeks and loafed 3. After
the first complaint WAS issued she
agreed not TO press it on his promise
to do better but he had not kept the
promise.
Captain Ryan testified that he saw
Mrs Anger with her lip cut in three
places.
Last Monday the wife said Anger
came home drunk and slapped her
face.
Officer Rosario Meyhotte and his
wife both testified that they heard the
slap and Mrs. Anger came down into
their tenement crying.
Anger said there were two sides TO
the trouble. He said he supported his
wife and Monday after she had drawn
his pay she refused TO give him 30
cents to get liquor with. He didn't
strike her but gave her a push. He
said he did not know the man that got
him the liquor and denied that he
was common drunkard.
The sentence was 80 days for intoxi-
cation June 9Th with costs Of 500 and
80 days for assault; 30 days for intoxi-
cation on August 6, and 50 days fer
assault.
