WIFE-BEATER GETS
OFF ON SMALL FINE
Though complaint had been made to
"Dolice headquarters that Frederick
Woodhouse had beaten Ms wife and that
she would make formal complaint of his
treatment, he was fined $5 today for
being drunk and turned loose to do
what he would.
Patrolman Qulnton took Woodhouse
from a scow at the foot of Jefferson
street. He was unmistakably drunk,
but the neighbors brought word from
Mrs. Woodhouse that she had been
beaten and would appear against' him.
Clerk Mllner of the municipal court
took no notice of the report on file
against Woodhouse, so the charge of
drunkenness was all that Woodhouse
had to answer, and he lost no time la
paying his fine.
