MUST PAY $40 OUT OF s12.
Only SEA Week Left for Woodcock
to Support His Present Wife.
His Application TO Have the Amount
OF Alimony Reduced Is Denied.

A motion was made before Judge
Beach in Supreme Court Chambers to-
day by counsel for William Henry
Woodcock, a druggist at AZ Clinton place,
for an order of the Court reducing the
amount of alimony he Is to pay his
divorced wife, Charlotte ST. Leger Wood
cock. The amount is $40 a week.
Counsel for Mrs. Woodcock not only
opposed the motion, but asked the Court
to punish Woodcock for contempt for
having failed to pay the alimony.
The couple were married in England
several years ago. In 1888 Mrs Wood
cock secured a divorce.
short time after the decree OF divorce
was granted MIR. Woodcock married a
second time and now has four children.
His counsel commended that his income
from his drug business was but $l2 a
week. and therefore he could not sup
port his present wife and four children
and pay his former wife $40 a week.
Mrs. Woodcock's counsel told the
Court that the money with which Mr..
Woodcock started in the drug business
he secured from his first wife.
Judge Beach denied the motion for the
reduction OF the alimony and ordered
Mr. Woodcock to pay the alimony due
within the next twenty days.
