Pittsburgh, Pa....Mrs. Garnet Schott, wife of a Methodist minister, is shown in a Pittsburgh hospital four days after she had been admitted with a fractured skull and other injuries resulting from a beating. Yesterday Mrs. Schott's husband, the Rev. George R. Schott, admitted in court that he had beaten his wife after "her talk and actions....drove me insane." Mrs. Schott charged her husband used a baseball bat to administer the beating.
