mrs. Bessie Henry.

Bessie Murphy, wife of Robert Hen
ry, died at the home of her mother
and father-in-law, Mrs. and Mr.. VIM.
Henry in North Lancaster, Dec. 10,
1918, of influenza and pneumonia.
Mrs. Henry was born in the town

William j., who was exactly one year
old the day of his mothers funeral,
Dec. II, 1918. Her father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Murphy, two
brothers, Timothy and Patrick, an in
FAINT and half-sister, Alice also dy-
ing in infancy, have preceded her to
the world beyond. Her husband and
son, one brother, William, in the SER
vice in France, and two small half
brothers, are her immediate living
relatives. Mrs. Henry, an orphan
from childhood, made for herself an
abundant entrance into the hearts of
all who knew her by the merit of her
quiet, unassuming disposition and
her womanly willingness to deny her
self for the sake of others. She was
a faithful wife and as considerate of
her mother-in-law, who was with her
to the end, as one of her own daugh
tiers could be.

HIS NEW J0BLESS JOB
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-01-15

Wife Is
Abused

Charged with having dragged
his deaf-and-dumb wife out Of
doors by the hair, and hauled her
100 feet across a muddy street in
this manner, Jim Downs, an auto
bus driver, Ala So. 18th street,
was arrested shortly after mid
might Monday and is held in the
city Jail.
Downs is also alleged by the
police to have threatened to kill
his wife.
The chauffeur and his wife had
a family row early Monday even
ing, ending with Downs threat
that he would return at midnight
and finish" his wife, the police
say. Neighbors notified police
headquarters, and Officers Ander-
son, Nix and Peterson went to the
Downs home. The officers re-
manned in hiding until Downs
drove up in his bus.
Downs entered the house and
emerged moment later dragging
his wife by the hair. The Off
GERS watched him until he had
dragged her across to his auto
mobile and was starting to throw
her into the tonneau. Then they
rushed up with drawn revolvers
and arrested the chauffeur.
A small length of new rope was
found in the car. Police officers
could not force Downs to admit
what he intended to do with his
wife or what he was going to
use the rope for.
Mrs. Downs appeared at police
headquarters Tuesday morning
and asked officers, by means of
notes written on pad, to release
her husband.
She said she did not believe he
had intended to harm her. The
police insisted on filing charge
of assault against the prisoner,
and told Mrs. Downs that they
would expect her to appear in
court against him.
