It may have been here that the workman Lclasseur, 20 Rue gleaned his method of treating a wife. Saturday morning the police heard the cries of a woman in this house, and on following the sounds came to a room from which the cries of help proceeded. The door was locked, and the agent called to tbe woman to pen the door. She replied that she was chained and could not. Tho agent went to the of the quarter for authority to break open the door, the woman having said that she was alone and that Ler life was not in danger; and a locksmith had to be called before the door could bo forced.

After a time the young workman becanw it was j ealous not without reason, to not said and ordered his wife he leave her room. Two hours later, ran home from his shop and found her absent. The next day he found had mean3 for preventing that, and made a ring the size of her garter, and attached a chain to it some five feet long. Before going out in the to the morning he attached the chain wall with a staple, and clasping the the ring about his wife's leg above and knee, locked it with a padlock He then put the key in his pocket. off that locked the door and carried black and key, having beat his wife the to blue to make her submit When arrested, this model husband was very much astonished; she said that his wife had only what had a mericd, and thought that he with n right to do as he pleased to own wife.
