On Saturday evening Mrs. John Gardner
left her residence on Wells street in search
of her husband, who was suspected of being
on drunk. She found him in neighbor-
ing saloon, in the condition that her mind
had pictured. An urgent solicitation to
come home caused a scene SO boisterous that
of disorderly. Early yesterday morning
tanned the escort of Officer Soulen
until she could raise the amount
necessary to bail her husband. This was
accomplished by borrowing q few dollars
from neighbors and collecting arrearages due
her for labor performed. When she had
made the deposit, and the unworthy liege
lord was brought out of the cell he had oc-
cupied all night, she said to him: Now.
John, you can easily raise what money is
necessary to bail me: SO [ will go back to my
cell and await your speedy return. Now
don, be gone long, please John waited
until the door closed behind his wife, and
then left to continue his spree. This morn

into court, Mrs. Gardner, upon her hus-
bands advice. united plea of guilty to

posed fine of $40 and costs each OF twenty
days in the house of correction. John used
portion of the bail money that had been
deposited for him to pay his fine, pocketed
the balance, and when asked to make up the
amount necessary to keep his wife out of the
house of correction, replied with the utmost
heartlessness, "Oh, she can go there and
| walked off. Mrs. Gardner was accordingly
| toted to the house of correction in the Black

male wretches. Meanwhile, the good-for-
nothing husband is reported by the police to
be finishing his spree on the balance left in
his hands. He is said to be a peddIer OF
