HUSBAND BEATS "CHILD" WIFE ONCE A WEEK Wife Reluctantly Testifies Against Spouse in Assault and Battery Case in Police Court.

MADE UNCONSCIOUS Blow Leaves Woman Bereft of Senses While Children Wonder Why Mother Is Silent. With one arm about her three year old son and the other about her one year old daughter, Mrs. Lester Hornbeck. 302 Southwest Fourth street a pretty young woman only seventeen years old and a wife since the age of thirteen, told today how her husband had beat her on an average of once a week the past three years. Mayor Robbins In city court had just taken Hornbeck's case under advisement. He had pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and battery on his young wife, who is sixteen years his junior. (Fear Her Husband. Although he had kicked her in the head yesterday, knocking her off the kitchen porch because she had complained because he had given all the groceries to the dog, Mrs. Hornbeck was a reluctant witness against her brutal spouse. It was necessary to bring her two children and little Helen fechroufe, aged 10, who has been living with the Hornbecks, to court In the police automobile. "You are very much afraid of your husband, aren't you?" a reporter rsked. Lies To Clear Spouse. I "I am," she replied, glancing apprehensively in his direction as he was being removed to city jail pending the mayor's pronouncement of judgment. "I had to complain to the police about him some time ago, but the next day I lied for him and got him out of trouble. I didn't appear against him then because he threatened to kill me If I did so. "Why don't I leave him? Well, these are his children and I don't want to break up the home, although he has told me he would rather serve time In the penitentiary than support the children and myself. "I used to be awfully jealous of Lester. I am not so any more although he runs around with other women. I know he does so although he told the mayor he does not. I guess I still like him a whole lot, although he has whipped me at least once a week the last three years. He has treated me worse than a dog and he has told me he likes the dog better than ha does me. He has treated me even worse than my father did." Child Helps Mother. "My father has been in places like this in Dayton lots of times," interposed little Helen Schroufe. She said this pridefully, her black eyes dancing. The little miss had substantiated on the witness stand the charges Mrs. Hornbeck had made against her husband. .Mrs. Hornbeck when she took the stand frequently glanced at her husband, each time bursting into tears, the1 two babies ceasing their romping, about the court room each time to gaze with wonder at their mother. Mrs. Hornbeck said she went out with the Schroufe child, who has been her companion for three weeks, early yesterday afternoon. When she returnad she round her husband had over:urned the furniture, broken some statjary, had "thrown the tapioca into the juiii bucket" and had given the groceries, which had just been delivered, to '.he dcg. When she remonstrated he kicked her off the porch.. Unconscious Half Hour. Two weeks ago, she said, Hornbeck inccked her down with a blow to her lead, rendering her unconscious for a lalf hour, when she accused liim of laving been in the company of another woman. "He might have killed me yesterday is he had put a loaded revolver on the stand, but I 'hid it. when I found it," me said. "Lots of times he haa threatMi ed to kill me. He never mistreated ho babies, however." She told how he deserted her last summer and was gone for two weeks. A'hen he returned, she said, he chased ier down the street with a revolver -lornbeck was then arrested on a :harge of wife and child desertion bu fudge Fox dismissed the. case when -iornbeck promised to return to hianilly, mat his wife considerately and iroviije for her and the babies.'He imnedlately resumed his brutal conduct oward her, however, Mrs. Hornbeck iaid. "He gets drunk," said little Miss Schroufe, "and you can always tell vhen he has been drinking because lis eyes turn r.reen." Hornbeck admitted that he had "not reated his wife as he should," and .onfessed to having an ungovernable emper. He was in a very sullen mood ;nd the prosecutor had difficulty in ibtaining answers to questions. jistrictThysicians meet at cambridge ' Dr. McDonald of New Castle, secre'ary, and other officers of the District hedical society are arranging the pro:ram for the annual convention to be leld May 27, at Cambridge City.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was in a dreadfully rundown state of health. had internal troubles, and was so extremely nervous and prostrated that if I had given in to my feelings I would have been in bed. As it was I had hardly strength at times to be on my feet and what I did do was by a great effort. I could not sleep at night and of course felt very bad in the morning, and had a steady headache. "After taking the second bottle I noticed that the headache was not so bad, I rested better, and my nerves were stronger. I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do 60 much as I do. Whenever I know any woman in need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Frank Clark, 3146 N. Tulip St., Richmond, Pa. Women HaTe Been Telling Women for forty years how Lydia E.
