Husband and Wife Blame Other
 Admirers for Trouble

Mrs. Louis Pugrosack, 39, of 62 Kelsey street accused her husband in police court today of assaulting her Monday night. In fact. she said. he has made practice of assaulting her since they were married five years ago, but he contcnded that he was more fooling that anything else" although he admitted he struck her. Officer Edward Mus zynsbi was called in by Mrs. Pugro- sack about o'clock last night and arrested the husband on the charge Of breach of the peace and assault, to which a plea of not guilty was entered.
 After the officer testified that Mrs Pugrosack showed him q cut on the lip and red marks on her left shoulder and under her eye, sh, took the stand and accused her hus- band of drinking and striking a man who was visiting at their home last night, She ran out and called the police.
 Cross examined by Attorney Law renee J. Colon, Mrs. Pusrosack ad- mitted that she had never before complained to the police, but she said her reason was that her hus- oand threatened her with death within two hours after he got out if ever she had him arrested. He was intoxicated, she said, although he might not have appeared to be, be- cause, according to her. he does not stagger around Hike other men" when he has had too much liquor. Asked if the cause of the trouble was her friendliness with other men, Mrs. Pugrosack shot back at Attor- ney Colon that the trouble actually started when she learned that a woman spent an entire day in her home with her husband.
 Pugrosack testified that he asked his wife for his working shirt and trousers about o'clock Monday night, as he wanted to get ready for the next days work The trousers were soiled and he asked her why she had not cleaned them as he had called her attention to their Condi- ton two weeks ago. She replied that she had not found time, to which he remarked that she would have had time but for her readiness to go out with other men until 12 o'clock at night. She struck him, he claimed and he retaliated.
 He has had trouble with her, he said, on account of his insistence | Iat a1, -i1,it lNn rI- while he was working nights. A | young woman who attained consid- erable publicity few months ago | because of her refusal to marry her tiancc when plans for the ceremony awaited only a few hours to be car ried out, lives with the pugrosacks and according to the husband. men call on her contrary to his wishes, 1 he having been warned by the po- | lice that he would be responsible if anything happened" in his home. | Some time ago, pugrosack sald, | he Was obliged to SC home from | lis work in a local garage a. 2:30 in the morning to order men out of the house. his wife and the otha ar young woman having been enter taining them all evening. The visi-- or who was in the tenement last night was one who has been paying attention to Mrs. pugrosack, ac- cording to the husband, and the latter ordered him to leave. He wouldn't go and I cracked him one" he admitted.
 Attorney Colon said Pugrosa@ll certainly was frank with the court and Judge SaXe, continuing the case ! for one month in charge of the 1 probation officer, said it might be possible to reconcile the differences of the couple and bring about q cessation of the lighting before they
 become so widely separated they cannot be brought together. There are no children in the family.
