Show THAT ALLEGES WIFE-DEATER. I Apparently a Malicious Stury Told to "Dowd" no Enrmy. There &re two sides to every story. Tuesday the wife of the Scandinavian Scandi-navian husband referred to in the last issue of The JJi gler under the caption, "An Alleged Human Brute." called in to oiler an explan- ; ation of the true circumstances. , She stated the facts in an honest, straight-forward manner, and we believe her story true. She says: "my husband is as kind and considerate to me and my .children as I could desire. With the exception of one little falling- j out last week, witnessed by some of our neighbors, we get along well. Your informant made false and malicious statements. There was I nothing in that about my dress be- '. ing paitl;.' covered with blood and many of the other alleged facts." i From all appearances, it seems ; thatour informant tooka scoundrelly scoundrel-ly course to gratify and appease ft nursing hate against a neighbor, by having his good name publicly tarnis'h'ed. " " I The fellow who gave us the i information said many of the neighbors, giving names of reliable residents, in the vicinity, would corroborate his testimony to us. Upon that fact principally, we has ed our belief in his story of wife beating and child starving. |
