Some time ago Mike Connors was
arrested on complaint OF his wife, who
charged her husband with abusing and
in many and divers ways m~istreating
her. His bonds were increased on one
occasion. and altogether IL looked very
bad for Mike. The case against him
was dismissed Tuesday by Judge Will

been heard. The case has aroused a
whole lot of feeling. and some of the
woman's friends have told this one
hat and that one this until now the
true state of affairs is not an easy thing
to arrive at, unless one goes to Mr..
Connors and hears his story. then COM
pares II with the testimony given in
court against him.
Yesterday Mr.. Connors stated i'm the
presence of a few pAorninent citizens
hat he had tried to make his home
and make home AN undesirable place
for his children to live in. He said that
he earned $3.50 a, day i'm the converter.
and would give $40 or S45 a month to a
good institution to care for the chill
dren. He would give his wife $40 a
month for her support. and he would
apply the balance to his necessary ex-
penses. He Zoe not drink, he says.
n his word is not disputed. and dis
likes to have liquor in the house. He
says that whatever trouble that has
arisen in his family is directly charge
able to whiskey. n that he is not

lowed that curse To influence him in
committing rash acts. 1t may be ar
