Description
"Garrett W. O'Neil, custodian of the federal building, is in the limelight again, and his 18-year-old daughter, Gweneth, and her second husband, Louis Judkins, are at liberty on $250 bail each, following assault charges placed against them Tuesday in Justice Otis W. Brinker's court." The aged father declared his daughter and her spouse choked and beat him at home, at 6517 57th ave. S., for no particular reason that he could see, unless it was an outgrowth of his long legal proceedings in the courts, following his divorce, in 1914.
