Mamie Spanked Housekeeping Under Par, So Husband's Brother Whips Her.

By United Press CLEVELAND, 0., Aug. 24. Spanking a brother’s wife is just a family obligation, James Nagy, 22, explained to police. His brother Joseph is married and his wife’s name, is Mamie and she is 21 years old, James said. The couple lives down the street a short distance from the seat of the Nagy clan, and the older members keep an eye on Mamie and also on the way she looks after the son that is the apple of their eye. The family decided that Mamie wasn’t doing as good a job of housekeeping as she should. They called in Joseph, but he wouldn't spank her because he loved her too much. “Well, then,” said the Nagys, “James will have to do it for you.” And James did a very good job of it, according to Emmet Gerty, assistant police prosecutor. James was to appear in police court today to explain about family obligations.
