"I Love Him." Two policemen arrived to lead Zantzinger away. Jane Zantzinger. much revived, cried: "He beats me up, but I love him!" She jumped down five stairs, knocking both her husband and Patrolman Warren Tood to the floor. Both of the Zantzingers were taken to jail, later released on bail.
The whole wild night could have wound up as just another bender, something with which the Zantzingers might later wow their guests ("What a night!") after riding to hounds. Even the disorderly-conduct and assault charges lodged against Mrs. Zantzinger would only add zest to the tale. But one thing changed all of that. Mrs. Carroll, a mother of eleven and president of a Negro social club, died eight hours after the caning. A medical examiner found that the cause of her death was a brain hemorrhage. The charge against Zantzinger: homicide.
