Show A spanking machine for use on couples who seek divorces over "trivialities" was suggested recently recent-ly by Superior Judge Oscar F. Nelson Nel-son of Chicago, 111. Nelson voiced the suggestion after Mrs. Mary Yon, 23 years old. appeared before him and sought a divorce from her 24-year-old husband, Edward, on cruelty cru-elty and desertion charges. She said they quarreled every other day, that Edward frequently threatened to leave home and that he finally "left for good." "We ought to spank people peo-ple like you who seek divorces over trivialities," Nelson told the couple. "We ought to have a spanking machine ma-chine right in the court chamber." |
