Sues for $30,000 Damages.
Alleging that whisky sold to her
husband in violation of the prohibi-
tion law caused to lose his reason and
shoot two men, Mrs. Irene Dauber
man, of Lewisburg, filled suit in the
foderal court at Scranton to recover
$30,000 damages from Hepolite Scuto~
wice, of Milton.
The plaintiffs statement says her
husband, Charles Dauberman, was 8a
peaceful and indusrious citizen until
he drank the whisky, a quart of which
she alleges the defendant sold. Alter
drinking it, she says, he became crazed
and shot Sheriff Renner, of Lewis
burg, in the wrist, and John P. Tag-
mier in the chest. Dauberman was
senenced to six years in the peniten~
tary.
The plaintiff asks for the $30,000
because of the humiliation brought
upon her and also because she has
been deprived of the society and fi
nancial support of her husband.
