December 19, 1922 Press Headline:  Moonshine Rage is Demonstrated

The piercing screams of a woman rang out through the still air of Sunday night in the vacinity of Pennsylvania avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. Neighbors, hatless and coatless, ran from their doors toward the direction from which they came, fearing a terrible accident of some kind had taken place.  Failing to learn what had happened, they returned to their homes, their minds filled with mystery as to the cause of this outcry.  They heard the following  day, however, that the woman’s screams had been prompted by the fear of her husband, who went home crazed with moonshine, bent upon beating every member of his household, from the smallest baby to his wife. It is understood the woman’s fear of her husband kept her from making a complaint to the police.
