AGED HUSBAND
WAS TARGET FOR
WIFE'S CEOCKERY

According to the testimony In the
municipal court before Judge Braz-
zell late Monday afternoon a Civil
War veteran Of Cornville was under
shell fire in the peaceful hamlet
where he resides. Sunday night. The
case followed the arrest Of Clara
Maybelle Towle, the wife of Nelson
Towle. by Sheriff Mooers and Dep
uty Cole Monday on the charge Of
assaulting her husband. The COM
bination of the marital troubles fol-
lows :. marriage Of about three
weeks, the aged groom being 80
years old. while Mrs. Towle is I'M
derstood to be "a. 1t was alleged by
the complainant that he heard some-
one coming in the night and that a
shell such as is used in some homes
for ornamental purposes came
crashing in his direction. Then an
other ..lell came his way. He al
legged that his wife was responsible
for this. He also claimed that she
has brandished an axe in a very
threatening manner, that she has
thrown eggs and at least IL dishes
at him, a habit of hers being, 1t
scents, to throw cups and platters
after him when he was descending
the stairs. She admitted that she
threw a sugar bowl at him, but only
after he had threatened to bury a
butcher knife, with which he was
cutting meat, into her up to the
handle. She claimed that he had
assaulted her and said that once she
threw two eggs at him. According
to her testimony he had refused to
give her fifty cents. all she had ever
asked him for since their marriage,
and the root of the trouble appeared
to be that he would not give her
money. Mr.. and Mrs. c. c. Kinsman
and Joseph Leighton, neighbors,
were witnesses for Mr.. Towle. Aft
err hearing the testimony of the
parties most vitality concerned,
which were entirely at variance,
Judge Brazzell advised a conference
Of the parties and their attorneys.
Mrs. Towle broke down occasionally
and pleaded hard to go back with her
aged husband. finally asking for
week with Linn, but the newly mar
ried man was obdurate and refused
to allow her even to come without
an officer to procure her things. She
said she didn't care about the pro-
perty but she wanted to be with
him." He was willing to pay her
$40 If she would leave him and not
return. other rights, Of course, to
be adjusted by the supreme court
later. After considerable hesitancy
Mrs. Towle signed q writing of sim
liar purport and received her money.
She felt that 1t was a hard case to
have her affections won and then to
he treated thus. She was sentenced
to pay fine of SO and costs or serve
80 days in Jail. having been found
guilty. Both sentence and fine were
suspended. providing she did not
annoy Mr.. Towle further. It -
claimed that Mr.. Towle has been
married three times before this, and
Mrs. Towle twice. The couple first
became acquainted through a trav.
cling picture man.

FOE ARSENAL LOSES MILLIONS
Acknowledgement Alleged and is Also
Blamed for INSTRUMENTATION
Among Workers.

Berlin.-The state arsenal at Span
dau, which has been shut down by the
government. has shown monthly def
cts of SS,750,000 for the last few
months. Estimates for April. May
and June indicated further total OPP
Grating loss of S15,OO0,000. Attempts
to utilize the gigantic plant for peace
production are unsuccessful in its
present condition and it Will have to
be dismantled and re-equipped.
The arsenal. which in peace time
employed 5000 hands and in the last
few years engaged 10000 workers,
since the revolution has developed into
a hotbed of radicaHsm. Communist
leaders openly engaged in the intimi-
dation of other workers. threatening
them with boycott and other forms Of
terrorism.
1t is stated also that the plant has
been grossly mismanaged, which grad
ually brought on state Of passive re-
siStance and INSTRUMENTATION among
the workers.
