West Esd Street, N. Y.
WAS NOT THE LAWYER RIGAT2

But of Course White should Support His
Pretty Youpg Wife.
An interesting abandonment case was
before Police Justice O'Donnell today. A
young man named William White, Of No.
295 Fifth street, arrested on complaint OF
Overseer of the Poor Hewitt, was charged
by his wife with abandoning her and
neglecring to provide for her support.
Mrs. White. who is very prepossessing
aud was very t~astefully attlred, destined
that her husband a only given her Sl2
since they were married two years ago.
and that was in last November, when, &C.
cording to an agreement drawn up by
Police Justice Weed, which they both
signed, he was to pay her Sf2 at that time
aud SO a week thereafter, and was, as Tar
as his wife was concerned. to ENJOY
fullest freedom.
White paid the S12. but has failed to
comply with the agreement TO pay the
weekly allowance, not having paid for
evan one week, and has since left his
wife to look out for herself, she having
to go to live with her mother at No. ~
Erie street.
Whites defence was that his wife left
him, refusing to live in the home he pro-
vided for her, with his mother and sister
at Nc. ga Newark avenue. Mrs. Whites

for her to live with his folk. and that
they actually turned her OUT of doors.
A young lawyer named Mclaughlin
made his debut in this case as attorney
for White, aud at once commenced to
question Mrs. White on matters entirely
irrelevant to the matter In question. He
was stopped by Justice O'Donnell. He
succeeded in getting out the fact that
Mrs. White has, since her desertion by
her husband, worked TO support herself,
and that she owns q piano. The Justice
was unable to understand how either one
of these facts would exonerate a husband
for not supporting his wife, but the new
lawyer insisted rhas they showed she was
not likely to become chargeable to the
city, as the complaint read. He further
contended that the case ought TO 60 to
Chancery.
Justics O'Donuell overruled all insist
menus of the attorney. and decreed that
White must furnish ponds to pay his
wife 50 per week or S12 per month.
