He dragged the woman from her bed and threw her on the floor, and beat and kicked her Into a state of uncon. sclousn.ss. The brutal treatment caused pr.mature labor and while actually re ceiving the blows from her husband the woman gave birth to itho child. About the Limo Anamasin had finished his work another Indian named Petf son hap pened to be passing the house and hear. in- b noise, he broke Into the room and attempted 'to protect tine prostrate wo. num.
