PASADENA, Nov. 5.-An attachment
suit was tried this morning before JUS
tice Rosster, the case being that of
Edwin Hutchins against Sheriff Burr
to recover possession of a team of
horses, wagon and harness which twas
claimed was wrongfully attached by the
sheriff.
The suit is the outcome of the marital
troubles between Hutchins and his wife,
Mabel H. Hutchins, which eliminated
in the latter securing divorce in April,
1895, on the grounds of non support
and cruelty. Mrs. Hutchins was given
the custody of their seven children and
was awarded alinOny to the extent OF
$12.50 per month.
Mrs. Hutchins claims that not cent
of alimony has ever been paid her, and
that in consequence she has been great
ly in need of funds for the support of
ner children.
The alimony was to have begun in
July hence there was due $50 up to the
LIST of October, when Mrs. Hutchins
swore out an attachment, since the
former husband had failed to come to
time with the cash.
He claimed that the property was nee
essary to him in making living, and
hence not subject to attachment, but
ing it out and gaining his living by gar
dening and spraying trees. He also al
legged that he was crippled and so not
able to earn much. However the case
went against him, and this afternoon the
property was sold by Constable Sla-
ter. Mrs Hutchins bid in the outfit for
only $24, and the balance of the $50 she
will have to secure in some other way.
