sisters and brothers had formed a
club to run him out of town or keep

his wife money at different times, but
she refused to give him receipt for
it, and he told her he would give her
no more unless she gave him receipt
for it, yet he did give her an order
on Hennessy's for $lO month, when
she did not accept.
'She can have everything l earn II
she will leave me enough for board
and clothes,' said Magil, but she
said she would rather get $40 from the
county than take s100 from me-
w men arrested MdSlll 1du d CeIlil
cate of deposit for $50 in his possess
sion and his ex-wife's attorney want
ed to have that applied on the ali
mony account in addition to 36 days
wages attached. Magill said he was
willing that his wife should have his
wages, but he cried for the $50, and

represented at the hearing by Attor-

take the whole matter under advise
ment, and Magill was returned to jail.
