DEPRATU GUILTY
OF CRUELTY, IS
.JURY'S VERDICT
Wife Is Supported in Special
Findings Returned After
Testimony.

1t took a district court jury but a
short time Monday after hearing evil
dence in the DE Pratu divorce case to
decide that Louis 2. De Pratu has
been extremely cruel to his wife, Lulu
Eva De Pratu, plaintiff in the case.
The jury was instructed by Judge I'll.
II. Ewing to answer but one question,
"Was the defendant guilty of extreme
cruelty towards the plaintiff as alleged
in her complaint? The answer was
yes"
J.. w. Lynch, who had been retained
as attorney for De Pratu. withdrew
from the case Monday morning. The
defendant handled his own case.
Mrs. DE Pratu charged that DE Pra-
tn had thrown her across a bed and a
table. and several times had threatened
to kill her. She alleged that De Pratu
claimed he was not the father of the
four De Pratu children.
County Aided Family
The plaintiff narrated hat her hus-
band had been arrested for wife beat
ing and that she had been turned out
of several houses for failure to pay
rent, having to spend time in the city
park with snow falling while the county
made provisions for a place for her
and the children to stay overnight.
She said she has worked at a number
of hotels and cafes, and ut times had
taken In boarders to support the
family.
A charge by De pratu that she had
spent several days away from the chill
dren when the family was at Lincoln
in 1920 she explained by saying that
he had urged her to 60 to the state
fair at Helena, the trip being made in
a truck. A charge that she had spent
every afternoon during the 1921 legis-
latiye session at Che state capitol was
accounted for by her son. Sterling.
having been employed as a page in the
house of representatives,.
De Pratu said he lived apart from
the family, but had offered to stay at
home and pay board and room that he
might be near the children. He said
he paid from $50 to $50 monthly to-
ward the support of the family. The
plaintiff alleged that his wife on nu-
merous occasions left the children alone
while attending dances.
Admits Jail Sentence
De Pratu admitted having served
two months in Jail for assaulting his
wife. He said she cut his hand with
Il butcher knife, but he took all the
blame when the officers came, playing
the part of a gallant husband. He
alleges that at a later date she struck
him over the head with a club, cutting
his scalp TO such an extent that it
necessary to have it sewed up by
q physician.
In his answer to the plaintiffs com
plant, De Pratu asks that the COM
plant be dismissed with judgment for
the defendant for his court costs. The
divorce matter will be decided by Judge
Ewing. The couple was married in
Salt Lake City in May, 1908. There
four children, three boys. aged is,
IA and Z, and q girl, aged 4. The oldest
boy is a cripple. W. p. Costello rep
resented Mrs. De Pratu in the case.
