The story, cleaned up
A cleaned-up reading of the newspaper page: spelling and layout repaired, one story lifted off a crowded page. It follows the original closely but it is not a transcription. The original page is below; read it if a detail matters.
Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Holmes, whose domestic troubles have been aired time and time again in the police court, came into police publicity again this afternoon when Mr. Holmes was arrested by Detectives Mihone and Ashby. The warrant against Holmes, which charged him with threatening to commit murder, was sworn to by Mrs. Holmes. The case will be tried in police court tomorrow afternoon.
“domestic troubles have been aired time and time again”
Reporting on 'domestic troubles' was a routine feature of the early 20th-century press, often trivializing or sensationalizing what we now recognize as serious cycles of intimate partner violence. Modern reporting on these issues prioritizes survivor safety and deeper systemic context over the 'police blotter' style of the past.
