KENNEDY FIXES UP FAMILY JARS.
Affections That We're Sadly Blighted BY
Short Rations
BUDGET OF. JUSTICE FROM THE COURTS

The law of limited partnerships was dis
cussed at considerable length yesterday be-
fore Judge Kennedy in the surety and de-
sertion branch of the Quarter Sessions.
The first case called by Assistant District
Attorney Goehring was that of Mrs Ter
renee Murphy against her husband. At
torney O'Donnell explained on behalf
of Mr.. Murphy that the case
had been heard BY Judge Porter
and thrown out of court Mr.. O'Donnell
also stated that Mrs. Murphy had refused
to live with her husband under any circum-
stances but her attorney retorted that she
could not safely attempt it on account OF
her husbands violent disposition. The as
sets of this partnership, limited, are boy
and girl, and Mr.. O'Donnell states that
the father had made provision to have the
boy educated at st. Vincent's College and
the girl at some other school. Judge Ken
nedy said he would continue the case and
allow Judge Porter to dispose of it.
Young Love Put on Short Rations
Jennie Marshall, a 17-year-old wife, de-
posed that her husband, James E. Marshall,
had contributed only 81 25 for her support
since August, and that she has since then
been living with her mother on the upper
Southslde. They have pledge of affection
Is months old, and Mrs. Marshall was
bride at 15 James in defense said he
worked when he could get employment, and
was willing to give his wife home if
she would live with him. He told
a hard luck story stating that he had taken
a contract to pump an oil we'll on the
shares and his return was but S48 for three
months work. He stated also that short
time previous to his retirement he had been
working as a motorman on street railway
but could not get steady employment. The
Court informed Mrs. Marshall that she
could not recover maintenance from her
husband unless she would live with him
and the case began to look dark for her,
when her attorney slipped inside the bar
and whispered story in Judge Kennedy's
ear which turned the tide in her favor. 1t
was to the effect that her husbands conduct
had endangered her life. Mr.. Marshall
was informed that he must find ample
security to assure Mrs Marshall one-third
of mis- earnings
Mary Rice was on hand, but her husband,
John, was not and his recognizance was
forfeited
Thought He Had Paid Enough.
The contract between Thomas Thompson
and Emma Richards was not under seal and
though such contracts are not regarded in
law as sacredly as those that are, yet they
are fully as binding, If, not more so, for
term of years, than those that are. In this
case, in addition to other penalties, Thomas
was sentenced in June last to pay Emma 50
a week for five years. The child is now
dead and Emma sets forth that Thomas has
not, liquidated funeral expenses. Mr.. Wise,
of Wise & Minor, for Thomas, contended
that the provision of So week by the
court was for the purpose of preventing the
saddling of the keeping of the child on the
public and that as it had died the engage
ment had terminated. He asked for rule
to effectuate his views. The Court seemed
inclined to admit the reasoning, but took
the matter under advisement.
The case of Ralph Keib was of the same
kind, with circumstances differing slightly.
He had been sentenced in 1887 to pay 800
and 81 week until further order of court.
Since then Mr.. Keib's limited partner has
married. and his attorney, w. j. Bremen,
thought the ordinary period of five years
should be shortened thereby. The Court
would not Immediately dispose of the case,
but granted rule to show cause why the
order should not be revoked.
There were about a dozen other cases
called, but the parties interested did not
and the wheels of the naturaliza-
tion mill were set in motion to allow some
aliens to tell how much they were attached
to the Constitution of the United States.
