COFFMAN AGAIN.
The DereIict Husband Creates a Dis
turbance on Seventh Street.
BE Attempts to K1dnap His Child-A
Neighbor illustrates Hfn-He'n
Die in Jail.

Franklin Coffman, who has gained con-
through the divorce proceedings brought
against him by his wife, went on the
warpath again last night, and created
disturbance on Seventh street, near J.
Coffman was hauled up before Judge
Van Fleet last Friday for contempt of
court, having refused to obey the courts
order to pay for the support of
his children. His wife had sued
him for a divorce, but the desired
separation was not granted by the
court. When Coffman was called upon
to explain why he should not be pun
ished for contempt he began to abuse his
wife, but was stopped by the court. He
was then ordered to Jail, but Judge Van
Fleet afterward changed his mind and
gave Cotfman five days in which to pay
up what was due the children. adding
that IL the money was not forthcoming
the delinquent would have to go to Jail
and remain there until the money was
paid.
Since Friday. it is said on good au-
thority, Coffman has made threats that he
would do something desperate ere long
that he would steal his 1-year old child,
and then decamp. thus wreaking a re-
yenge upon his wife.
He evidently intended to carry out his
threat last night
Mrs. Coffman left the house to visit
neighbor, leaving the baby in charge of
her l5-year-old son. She had been gone
but few minutes when the boy heard
someone trying to open the front door.
He ran to the door, and seeing his father
there rushed into the rear room, picked
up the baby and hurried out of the rear
door and into the house of George w.
Ficks, who resides in the second story of
the building. The lad informed Mr..
Ficks of what had occurred, and that
gentleman attempted to persuade Coff-
man to leave. The latter became bolster
GUS and essayed to wipe up the side
walk" with the intruder. He found the
latter rather difficult to handle, however
and desisted, but turned his attention to
his son, whom he attempted to assault
Quite large crowd had gathered on the
sidewalk by this time, however, and a
number of bystanders threatened to chas-
tise the unnatural parent if he struck the
boy.
Coffman worked himself into furious
passion, and declared that he would muir
der dozen people before he got through.
He demanded that the baby be given to
him, but he was told that when Mrs.
Coffman returned he could make his re-
quests of her. Coffman finally went away
in towering rage, declaring that the
courts could go further, and that he would
die in Jail before he would ever pay cent
of alimonY
