REFUSES TO SUPPORT HER CHILDREN
Lorenzo Petochei Will Care for His Wife,
HoWeyer

However
Lorenzo Petochei has deserted his wife
and her six children. and left them to
starve. They live at 7l9 New High street.
1t seems that the children are not his,
but belong to his wife, who was widow
when he married her. He has been Civ
ing Mr.. Talamantes, the officer on the
beat, considerable trouble, and the latter
has repeatedly threatened to arrest him
on charge of vagrancy. Petochei WAS
in the habit of leaving his home for days
at time and letting his vile provide for
herself and children as best she could.
She managed to make out until lately,
when she was taken sick and became
confined to ner bed.
Recently her husband came to her and
said that he was very willing to take care
of her. but that he did not propose to
look after the children. If she would put
them in some asylum or get homes for
them, she could como and live with him
ana he would provide. This offer was
refused. whereupon the brutal man went
away and has done nothing to help his
wife. who is now sick and unable to
work.
The case was reported to the humane
officer, VINO will investigate it, and if
Petochei is found to be a worthless, dis
reputable fellow warrant will be sworn
out for his arrest.
