SLUGS HIS WIFE
Unconscious Woman Pound
In Gutter on Fowler Street.
IS BEATEN BY' BRUTAL
Ejected From Her Hume anil Told to
Go .Mrs. Edward Noah Is tho
Unfortunate Woman
May Be Investigated.
Beaten into unconsciousness and
then ejected from her home by an
irate husband, Mrs. Edward Noah,
wife of a local blacksmith, was found
lying on the sidewalk on 'Fowler
street, near the corner of Douglas,
by pedestrians shortly after seven o'
clock this morning. When found,
Mrs. Noah was scantily attired and
was suffering from exposure.
A son of Owen Osburn, the drug
gist, was enroute from his home to
the store of his father, when he no
ticed what he thought was the body
of a man lying on the sidewalk at a
point about 100 feet north of the in
tersection of Fowler and Douglas
streets. Fearing that the form was
that of a dead person, Osburn suc
ceeded1 in attracting the attention of
Jack Whltsett, janitor at the court
"house, who was on his way to work.
Together the men went to the scene
with a view of investigating the In
cident. The woman was unconscious,
and not until she was half carried to
the corner .of Douglas street did she
revive. After partially regaining her
senses she was taken to the court
liause and later placed in tho cus
tody of friends. In telling her story
to the officers today, Mi's. Noah said
she was attacked by her husband
early this morning, beaten into semi
unconsciousness and ejected from
her home. How she reached the spot
where she was later discovered by
pedestrians is more than she can tell.
Edward Noah, the man whom his
wife accuses of the fiendish assault,
was arrested here a few weeks ago
on a charge of beating his wife and
children. He was given a hearing
In the Justice court and was placed
under bonds to keep the peace.
Now that he has exceeded the
limit of decency he should be takeu
before the grand jury now in session
in order that he may explain his
actions. Noah is a raw-boned man of
large stature, while his wife is frail
and delicate.
Although somewhat improved this
afternoon Mrs. Noah is in a bad con
dition as a result of her early morn
ing experience. She has several chil
