Biggar Wanted to withdraw Suit
For Divorce.

Judge Rogers has denied Thomas N.
petition for divorce from his wife
Fredonia f. Biggar until he, Biggar has
purged himself from contempt Of court.
Mr.. Biggar's contempt consisted OF refus-
ing to pay "a weekly allowance 10 his wife
as directed by the court. Ha was COM
mitted TO jail July 9Th of the present year.
Four days after going TO Jail he filed a
petition for permission TO discontinue bis
petition for a divorce and hearing was
had last Saturday.
Biggar was very obstinate about paying
the allowance ana at an early hearing in
contempt proceedings he told Judge
Rogers he would rather take tho next
train 60 jail than pay any allowance.
Judge Rogers gave him week TO think
IL over but Biggar remained obstinate and
went TO Jail He soon changed his mind.
Mrs. Biggar intimated at tho time of
the hearing on the allowance that her
husband refused To give up though many
that belonged TO her. Mr.. Bigoar on an
order from the court returned the precious
stones. He Is a pickle manufactures out
pleads poverty as an excuse for his failure
To pay the allowance
Judge Rogers holds it Is general rule
that party In contempt will not be
heard to ask any favor of the court, in the
case in which the contempt occurs nor
permitted Co take any affirmative steps in
the particular legation except only such
a. are necessary to his defense against the
charge of contempt until he has purgod
himself of such charge. So Biggar must
remain in jail until he purges himself of
contempt then he may Withdraw his peti-
ton for divorce.
