HUSBAND Startling Story of Cruelty Disclosedjggg Master’s Report in Divorce G Philadelphia. .Tune 11. —The sta, story of a wife degraded to the lev\ n beast of burden, hitched to a plow and whipped by her husband when the im p’ement did not move to bin satisfaction, and with her husband showing no partiality between herself and her four footed team-mate when the whip was ap plied. is told in the findings of G. Coe Farrier, who recommended the granting of a divorce to Victoria Samody, 45 years old, from Joseph Samody, 4S years. Court of Common Pleas No. 1 yesterday entered a final decree in favor of the woman on the grounds of cruel and barbarous, treatment and indignities to tho person. “The testmony discloses,” sets forth the report of the master, “that the re spondent hitched the libellant to a plow with a horse and made her pull the ! plow: that when the plow did not move to his satisfaction he impartially used the whip on the horse and on his wife. He struck her with a flower pot. He was cruel to cattle on the farm and threat ened to kill his wife.” Mrs. Samody. who is employed by a family on Park avenue near Dauphin street, made her third venture into matrimony when she married Samody, who now fives in Scranton, on March 4, 1922. She averred that it was her money that purchased a home on East Victoria street, which later was sold, at her hus band’s importunity, and a farm of 38 acres bought at Fontainville. Bucks county. According to the woman’s testi -mony. almost immediately after their marriage her husband began his ill treatment of her. The second day upon going to the | farm he ordered her into the field to ' help him with the planting, and later refused to hire a man for the haying, compelling Iris vvife to drive thp loads of hay to the barn and store it. Mrs. Samody was also compelled not only to milk cows, but to clean the stables. Her only pay for these menial tasks were beatings and revilements. Oil one oc casion. when s-he interfered with her husband’s alleged brutal treatment of a cow, she testified, he threatened to kill her with a pitchfork, and another time when she objected to his slow method of torture in slaughtering a pig. he chased her. brandishing the sticking knife. When Mrs. Samody was married in 1922 she weighed 157 pounds, but when she left her husband about 13 months later her xveight had been reduced, she said, to less than 100 pounds. • Undismayed by the charges made by his wife. Samodj' appeared in Court sev eral days ago and told Judges Barlett. McDevitt and Taulane that he wanted I “to make peace” with his wife and that if she would return to h m he would “honor and respect her.” .The Court, however, decided that Mrs. Samody was entitled to a divorce and handed down a decree to that effect. BRITISH EDITORIAL ON CASE OF PROF SCOPES Editorial Pays Especial Attention to the Part Bryan Plays in the Case. London, June 11 (By the Associated Press). —The Westminster Gazette in an editorial on the forthcoming evolution trial in Tennessee, 'today terms the at titude of Wm. Jennings Bryan of counsel for the prosecution “too absurd for se rious people to consider.” “We tremble to think.” it adds, “what such a spirit xvould concern itself with if it had complete power.” The paper assumes, however, that the case against the teacher Mr. Scopes, who is being brought to trial for expounding the evolution theory is as good as decid ed because the law • Tennessee forbids such teaching. Darwin Would Enjoy Scopes Trial London. June 11 —If he xvere alive to day. Charles Darwin, the gn)at English scientist who originated the theory of evolution, would undoubtedly find much to amuse him in the case of the Tennes see high school teacher who is to be tried for teaching evolution in public school in violation _of the State law. Mr. Darwin liked to talk about his book. “The Descent of Man.” He en joyed the reception accorded it. but said he was a little surprised that the public was not more generally shocked ; and he said frankly that had it been written 20 years calier, as the author he probably would have been hooted at. He did not foresee the sensational stir that his theoy was to create on the other side of the Atlantic so maA.v years later. Mr. Darwin kept a scrapbook of all criticisms he received and the carica tures of him in the press. One of these last was his special delight. It represent ed an enormous gorilla that had the head of Darwin. He enjoyed showing this, and developed chess that was depicted. The scientist also found much enjoy ment in the joke that “Punch” made. I This was, that while men did not much mind the idea of having descended from : apes, women loudly protested. j Says Husband Wouldn’t Give Her False Teeth. White Plains, N. Y..

Mich., .Tune 11. —A new and drastic “drunken driver” law is now in effect in Michigan. It was enacted by the 1925 legislature at the urge of law enforcement officials and dry organiza tions.

A first offender, upon conviction, must sur render his driver’s license for at least three months. In addition the court may sentence him to pay a fine of from SSO so SIOO and to not more than ninety days'" imprisonment.
