Horsewhips Husband.
Mrs. Harry French Resents Testimony at Trial.

Neighbors in the vicinity of 1108 Harriosn street were aroused yesterday
afternoon by screams from the house, and when they ran in they found Mrs. Harry
FRENCH, armed with a large whip, fighting with her husband, from whom she
recently parted. Both the sheriff and the police were called, but no arrests
were made. The whipping Mrs. French undertook to give her husband is said to
have been the outgrowth of a recent trial in the Shawnee county district court,
in which she was refused a divorce. In a statement, Mrs. French said yesterday
afternoon that her attack on her husband was premediated, that she had sent word
she would do it, and had sent a servant to buy the whip during the forenoon
yesterday. Mrs. French gave her reason for the action that untrue stories had
been told concerning her at the trial.
