Article Description: May Whip His Wife. Missouri Judge Decides that Husband Has
This Right.
Article Text:
St. Louis, Mo., April 5.--A decision was rendered by Judge PEABODY in the city
Police court today that under certain conditions a husband has the right to beat his
wife. The case was of one Bernard KRETZER, charged with beating his wife because she
would not agree with him in the management of her children. Judge PEABODY said in
passing judgment: "In this case the wife was more guilty than the husband for trying to
contradict and thwart her husband's will in the presence of the children and setting
them a bad example which he had a right to rebuke. There are times when a wife
irritates her husband to such an extent that he cannot control himself and uses his hand
or fist. As long as no serious harm is done, I do not believe in punishment."
