spondence.) 1t looks now as If Mr.. Samuel
Livingston, the old gentleman So years of
age, whose suit for support from his wife
has been pending so long, will soon get his
rights. Attorney Gibbs, for Mr.. Living
stone, went to Los Angeles this morning
and presented motion before Judge Allen
for raising the amount of alimony allowed
Mr.. Livingstone by the supreme court from
$24 to $50, and also a motion for the increase
of attorneys fees for the plaintiff from
$50 to $3.50. Judge Allen denied the in
crease in alimony and took the other mo-
ton under advisement. Mr.. Livingstone
still resides in a room at the st. Nicholas
house, on Union street, depending for his
living upon the kindness of friends. He
still insists that Mrs. Wheeler his step
daughter, is responsible for the trouble be-
tween himself and his wife. Mrs. Living
