Culver to commit William Marsh for contempt Of
court in falling to pay his divorced wife SO week
as directed by decree. Judge Culver stated thai

he paid the alimony for some time; that the
now amount to about $780, and that Marsh has since
married in New Jersey. Ex-Judge George NJ Curtis.
his counsel contended that Marsh had perfect right
to marry again in another State. He had paid the
alimony so long he was able. but had not the
means to make further payments. This proceeding
on the part of his former wife, he urged. was
prompted by vindictive feeling owing to his second
marriage. After final decree counsel claimed that
defendant could not be attached for non-payment Of
aimony. and that the only remedy was by execution
against his property Judge Donohue took the papers
