Monday, April %. But for a ses-
sion held on the Monday morning
following Easter, it was consid-
cred very moderate.
Difficult to understand was the
case OF Willie David Dennard OF
2163 NV 63rd ST., who was charg-
ed with assault and battery on
Mrs. Ida Mae LeVant of FATS NV
61st street. Mrs. LeVant told the
court that Dennard came to her
home and began to beat her. She
declared that she had done moth
ing to provoke such action on the
part Of Dennard.
In his defense, Dennard told
the court that he and Mrs. Le-
Want had been living together for
some time. Dennard declared that
they at one time went down
to the courthouse to secure mar
riage licenses in order to be mar
ried, but he learned at the court
house that Mrs. LeVant already
had a husband living in Georgia,
from whom she had never been
divorced. Dennard continued ex-
planning that he caught Mrs. Le-
Want with another man and be-
came peeved and he hit her. Mrs.
LeVant decalerd that Dennard
hit her more than one time, and
gave her a severe beating. After a
warning to both parties, Judge

charges combined.
