I Had Sued for Divorce, Then Has
Him Arrested for Assault
m and Battery.
I Pine Bluff, March 7.—Sam L.
I Hart, a well known young man
I of this city, was arrested Sun
I day afternoon on. the charge of
| assault and battery, on a warrant
sworn out by his wife, Mrs.
Bessie Hart. The case was tried
in Justice Stewart’s court this
rhorning and Hart was fined $50
ISrAd costs, amounting to $71.25.
He failed to make bond or pay
the fine and is now confined in
the county jail. He will be given
time to make a bond, but if he
does not do so will be sent to the
county farm. Mrs. Hart and
her father, Mr. Dodge, appeared
as witnesses against Hart.
Mrs. Hart testified that her
husband became angry at her
brother, and when she attempted
to interfere, grabbed her throat
and cruelly choked her. The
officers, when they attempted to
arrest Hart, met with resistance
I and one was struck in the face,
but no additional charge was
filed for resisting arrest.
About two months ago Mrs.
Hart filed suit for divorce against
her husband, alleging non-sup
1 port and cruel treatment. Hart
I was then working at Forrest City,
I but about three weeks ago came
I to Pine Bluff, and the divorce
j suit was dropped. Since that
\ time he has been living with his
j) father-in-law.
