II reports be true, he and bis wife have not

Dlssgreements are frequent and some.
times violent. LAST summer his wife
left him after a. particularly y bitter
quarrel in the c,urse OF which shs AYERS thai

and he did not care how Boon he filled them
with himself, his wife and their two weeks

some OF them shouted 10 her that Kraft said
he would drown the child. She called
Officer Taylor, and they ran after him, fol-
