Alice DeVaux had several cuts in her scalp Tuesday, and her sister, Mrs. Eleanor Buffington, was facing a
charge of disturbing the peace, as a result of a "family argument" Monday night at their home, 1413 Bourbon
street.

Patrolman Tadesco said he was patrolling his beat when Alice ran from the house shouting for a doctor.   She
told the patrolman, he said, that Eleanor had expertly wielded a bottle on her head.   Alice was taken to
Charity hospital and Eleanor to the Fifth precinct.   Alice refused to make a statement or prefer any
charges against her sister.
