STANFORD, Ky, December o.
Because he whipped his wife, VINO
was a pupil in the rural school, Mel
vim Wright, %. teacher in this county,
has been sentenced to serve three
months in the Lincoln County Jail here
and pay fine Of $500. The PUNISH
ment was fixed at court hearing.
At a previous trial Wright had been
given 80 days in jail and fined SlOO
on the charge that after he had chas-
tised his wife pupil at school he re-
turned home and there further ad-
monished her by the use Of a stick.
Wright was a rural school teacher
when he married The wife. then

bands pupils. Wright had strict
rules at his school, and when his
Young wife transgrcssed one of them
he admouished her. For a short time
all went well; then the girl again
violated the regulations. Then, IT IS
alleged. Wright whipped her just as
he would have any other pupil.
Mrs. Wright Immediately appealed
to her parents and the young teach
er's arrest followed. Wright set forth
his side of the case, but his plea fell
on deaf ears, the court apparently
being Of opinion that wife-beating IS
not permissible, even when she is un-
der school rules as pupil. After
the whipping and while Wright was
awaiting trial a baby was born tc
the couple, and young Mrs. Wright
brought the child into the courtroom

at the foot of the stairs. In this
room, in peeling off the 80 layers of
paper and canvas which covered the
wall, several old cupboards and small
closets were found in which old rec

in deciphering these that the early
history of the place became known.
