Miscreant Beats Gut the Brains of his Two Little Girls
Paris report of a man named Deblander in Rue Gutenburg who tied his two young daughters Jeanne age four and Germaine age nearly three with handkerchiefs and battered their heads against the ground before attempting to flee.

In Indianapolis Mrs. Thomas Murray pursued Miss Phyllis Henning to administer a whipping after learning of their liaison.
