THE NORTH SIDE.

An Unparalleled Case of Cruelty in the First Ward Bordering on

INHUMAN FIENDISHNESS.

Badly Maltreated, Almost Murdered and Cruelly Deserted when not

TWELVE MONTHS MARRIED. Fred Williams Deserts His Wronged Wife and Takes Refuge in Canada.

Some years ago, there came to Topeka from the state of Indiana, a widow lady and her daughter, Mrs. M. R. and Miss Dora Moffatt. They were poor and friendless, but the daughter who was a rather delicate girl, but possessed a good education, succeeded in supporting herself and mother in a comfortable manner by teaching school in Shawnee county, at which vocation she was eminently successful and won not only the confidence and admiration of her employers by her conscientious efforts, bur the love of her pupils as well, by her gentle and lady-like deportment. But there came in the lives of these two people which not only destroyed their happiness, but filled their lives with bitterness and despair. During the summer of 1886 Dora Moffatt met and became acquainted with a young man named Fred Williams, who at the time was an employe of the Santa Fe company in this city. Young Williams was a handsome, agreeable fellow and soon his attentions to the fair Dora won her love, and in the month of February, 1887, the twain were wed. Then it was that the poor girl quickly ascertained that the one mistake of her life had been made. The young husband instead of loving and caring for his wife as he had sworn to do at the marriage altar, commenced a systematic course of cruel treatment, which is without a parallel. Curses and bitter imprecations were succeeded by blows, and the young wife often prayed for relief in death. Meantime the widowed mother, who is a lady 60 years of age, and a confirmed cripple, being deprived of the use of one arm and hand, continued to live alone, mindful all the time of her daughter's unhappiness; and finally early in the autumn when her daughter was stricken with a premature and almost fatal illness her mother had her and her husband come and live with her. And here, incredible as it may seem, the husband's cruelty instead of diminishing increased in severity. At one time while the young wife was lying on a sofa, weak and exhausted, Williams stood above her with a long, keen-bladed knife and threatened her life. At another time, during the same period, this inhuman fiend without provocation choked the invalid until life was almost extinct. Much more of this sad, sad story, as narrated to a CAPITAL representative on last evening by the mother and daughter; in the presence of Officer McKee, could be written, but space will not permit. A few days ago, after having by threats induced his mother-in-law to mortgage her household goods for money, which he squandered, Fred Williams left his grievously wronged wife, a mortgage hanging over everything possessed by the aged widow, besides numerous creditors in the city, and yesterday Mrs. Williams received a letter from him which stated that he was in Canada and that he never expected to return. If in the annals of infernal cruelty a worse case than this can be found, the reading public should be favored with it. The widow and daughter are endeavoring, by keeping a few boarders, to raise money sufficient to pay off the mortgage on their household effects, and to supply their wants. Officer McKee is deserving of great praise for the kindly assistance he has rendered these sorely afflicted people.
