A story of how low a man may get
tsrosgh drink was told in the super
ior csurt at short calendar session
y. t4is city Tuesday morning when the
uaeoatested divorce case of Mrs. Ma
Aed A. Jacobs of Willimantic from
ArtJsur Jacobs of parts unknown was
sskra up. The story of the abuse of
herself and her crippled child that was
RELAXED by the witness was the kind
tnat makes the use of hot tar and
feathers seem like necessity at
tnes
There must have been a time some
II years ago when the woman basked
N the maA's smiles. He put the best
side Of his nature before her obser-
vatios and she liked the picture.
There must have been the usual peri
cd IF courtship with evenings all too
shsrt. then came marriage, the hon
eyuoon, and then the gradual hOrri-
bic awakening that the man was hui
s,an, yes, as later developments show
ed, inhuman.
The husband began to drink. Per-
haps be drank before marriage, but
the wife learned of the habit some
time afterward. He grew worse and
for months at time he was intoxi-
Gated and would not give his family
support.
The beast in the human body was
brought out by the constant use of
alcohol and the wife on the witness
stand Tuesday morning told only
parts Of the horrors she must have
Suffered and those that listened shiv-
ened ut the picture.
"ffe abused me because l would
lot allow him to whip our sick child,
an Invalid only five years DID, said
Mrs. Jacobs. "He would strip this
child, tAnt had been very i'll and had
become a cripple and would stand
him, stark naked, on the table and try
to force him to jig up and down.
Whes l objected he struck me, he
seat apoa me and he threw cupsful of
bciAng hot water upon my legs.
He was going to cut my throat
with a razor, which he would keep
under his pillow in our bedroom,
which he forced me to occupy with
him." Mrs. Jacobs told the court, land
| was In constant fear of my life
Finally he did seize me and was going
to kill me. l had him arrested and
he was sent to jail
"He was drunk for months at
time and he would not give his family
any support"
After he had spent one period in
jail, he was almost Immediately re-
turned there and Mrs. Jacobs finally
wrote him that she would never live
with aim another day-and she kept
her word. The couple have been
living apart for more than two years
now. and Mrs. Jacobs testified that
she does not know, only indirectly, as
to her husbands whereabouts, but has
been told that he is working in a
lumber camp, about 200 miles from
Willimantic
Henry B. Woodward, Mrs. Jacobs
brother, the best man at her wedding,
testified as to Jacobs cruelty toward
his sister He made his home with
them after their marriage and told of
being an eyewitness to what he con-
sidered an attempt by Jacobs to cut
his sisters throat with razor
Mr.. Woodward testified that he saw
Jacobs take a razor, whet it and then
seize Mrs. Jacobs. "He put his hands
under her chin and pushed back her
head" Mr.. Woodward testified, sand

CLEVER HOG FEEDERS
Cut Out TRADER Profits BY
Shipping To Market Direct

Farmers and hog feeders in, the
Science Hill section of Pulaski
county, did some clever combin-
ing the other day and cut out the
middlemen's profits on stock buy
ing. The Somerset journal tells
how they did it as follows:
Last Monday the Mckinney
Farmers Club made up a car
load of hogs and shipped to Gin
cinnati The hogs were load
ed at Science Hill. Each farm
er's hogs were clipped as they
were unioaded in the pens at
Science Hill so that. there would
be no mixing up when the hogs
landed in Cincinnati. These
hogs belong to eight different
farmers and each farmer had his
hogs marked different from the
others. There were ga hogs in
the car and the average was 185
pounds per hog. The car left
Science Hill some time Monday
afternoon and did not arrive at
stock yards Cincinnati until one
o'clock Tuesday which necessi-
tated the hogs to be held over
until Wednesday to be Sold The
long time on the road caused the
hogs to shrink more than other
wise. Some of the hogs drifted
as much as Is pounds per head
while others drifted very little.
The hogs sold for $14.75 per
hundred. The car of hogs
brought $50 more than the deal
ers offered at the station. Two
of the farmers, however, got less
for their hogs in Cincinnati than
the dealers offered them at the
station. This was due to the
heavy shrinkage on these two
punches of hogs.
The live stock commission men
in Cincinnati say that if farmers
will carefully mark their hogs so
that each party's hogs can be
identified easily that there is no
need of sending a man along
with the load of hogs. 1t is the
business of the commission men
to see to it that each member of
the club in the shipment gets ex-
actly what his hogs brings.
