This woman, who is sixty years old, having gone to Defendant's house to ask him for $25 which he owed her, was, without any provocation or cause beaten by him; with an average size walking stick, very severely. I referred the case to Mr "Wm W Simones" J.P. with a note stating that if he did not bind the man over to appear for indictment before the next Grand Jury - that being under the circumstances, all he could do - the military authorities would have to attend to the matter.
