guilty to second-degree assault
charges when arraigned Thursday
IN superior court to answer for
the ''merciless beating Of her
two-year-old daughter.
, A 10-year Imprisonment may be
imposed, although presiding Judge
Joseph A. Mallory deferred inn

engaged in California maneuvers,
quietly declined an attorney and
explained she didn't want any
further court hearing or trial.
VIII Be Examined
After reading the complaint de-
failing the young woman's sadistic
perversion and extreme abuse Of
her daughter, and examining pho
tographs of the severely bruised
child. the court asked Mrs. Hous-
ton IL she were confident of her
sanity.
