Beating Wife Criticized Judge Rules Condemning Opinion
A Chicago judge recently stated that a wife is justified in shooting her husband if he tries to beat her, a harsh comment the paper agrees with. The piece condemns wife beating as brutal and notes neighbors might act, then reports on new state hospital for alcohol and drug addicts and parole rules upon recovery. It cites H Crick of Pittsburgh for a cost savings claim about driving, and recounts varied local court items including a cattle case, a desolation by Dan Ravey, a divorce for Ada Merrell, and druggist permits plus a mortgage case set for Monday.
