Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff sued the defendant for damages resulting from assault and battery, which occurred in a churchyard following the dismissal of church services at approximately 12:00 o'clock noon. The facts are briefly summarized: Plaintiff was standing in the churchyard talking with another church member concerning marital difficulties between her and her husband; the defendant, her brother-in-law, came up to her and told her not to bring their family troubles to church; he then struck her in the face, knocking her glasses to the ground, and grabbed and twisted one of her arms. She freed herself and started for her automobile. A short footrace ensued. Defendant overtook her and again grabbed her arm and mistreated her. She succeeded in reaching her automobile and got in and sat down; the defendant again grabbed and twisted her arm. Her husband, who was standing in the churchyard when the assault occurred, drove her to their home and she later left to seek the solace of her friends. She visited one friend near her farm home; one in Highland Park, which is in the southeast part of Topeka; called the county attorney, and drove to his home on West Eighth Street. Later she attempted to visit another friend on Plass Street. This friend was not at home and plaintiff remained there in her automobile for a period of time not disclosed by the record. She concluded to return to the home of the friend she first visited when she ""blacked out"" and was involved in a collision with another automobile at the intersection of Fifteenth Street and Plass in Topeka. Both automobiles were damaged and plaintiff received cuts about her face and bruises on her body. She was taken to a hospital in an ambulance where a doctor treated her injuries.
