WIFE BEATER FALLS UNCONSCIOUS;
?
Deputy She?7ff Y/isldj V/cjport Lust"y
on Brutal Husband'* Bared Back
Until Victim's Howls Are Heard
Throughout the Jail.
Fifteen lushes aerobe the back with
a cat ? atM tails at the whipping
post was tb* punishment Inflicted on
Henry Shacfer of Portland, Ore., for
beating his wife on the streets.
Shaefcr fell In a falut when the
handcuffs were takeu off, but revived
soon after i:nd shook bands with Dep
uty Sheriff Frank Beatty, who had
wielded the whip.
Sbaefer was arrested and soon after
ward pleaded not guilty to the charge
of asoault and battery. Before Judge
Cleland In the district court he changed
his plea to guilty and askinl the lenien
cy of the court Deputy District At
torney Moser In recommending the
whipping post as Shaefer's punish
ment said:
"This tnan has been guilty of re
peatod /"??>? lilts upon his wife. On one
occasion he stripped her, tied her fast
to a chair and beat her with a strap.
ITU CRIES COULD BX HEAHD ALL OTK?
THE JAIL.
When die wife"# ilutef Interceded on
ber behalf ht boat tbe sister alsa" j
"I have never Inflicted $14 sentence
before," Mid the judge, "but In this
case I feel It to be Just. The Judg
ment of the court Is that you receive
fifteen lashes at the bands of the sher- i
Iff or his deputy."
Shaefer was led from the courtroom
to the Jail, and tbe preparation for tbe
execution of the sentence was carried
on without returning Shaefer to the
cell. Before he went up to the court
room Shaefer told his cell mates that
if he were whipped, be would not
flinch.
The wife beater was stripped to the
waist and his hands fastened by hand- 1
cuffs to the bars of the cell. The whip,
a rawhide about two feet long with
six lashes aboilt eighteen luches long
at the end, had not fallen the third
time before Shaefer's determination j
not to fllncb was forgotten, and bis j
cries could be heard all over the Jail. I
The whipping took place In the pres- j
ence of Sheriff SteveuB, Deputy Sheriff |
Bulger and Deputy District Attorneys '
Ous C. Moser and H. B. Adams. When
the fifteenth lash had been struck and
the handcuffs were taken off Shaefer's
wrists he sank Into a chair fainting.
Salve and soothing liniments were ap
plied to Shaefer's back, and while the
wounds were dressed he stretched bis
wrists, where the handcuffs had cut
into them, and said:
"Look at those hands. In the old
country black bread and work In tbe
fields Is good enough for a woman, but
here they make a goddess of ber. I
have worked eight years with these
hands for that woman. Now look at
them, and It was she who brought it i
tbout"
Greon Kitten*.
It may all sound like a fairy tale or
an echo of the naturo fakir discus
sions, but the fact Is that Mrs. Rachel
Carter of Baltimore Is the proud pos
sessor of five three-day-old green kit
tens, not yellow nor brown nor tor- 1
tolse shell. These kittens are really ,
green, of such a shade as the inside of ,
a half ripe cantaloupe or the plumago j
of many canary birds when instead of
yellow their coats take on a delicate
tint of green. That the cats are purely
a freak of nature seems certain, as tho
mother of the litter of five kittens is
cool black.
