CLAIMS CLEVE
DECEIVED HER
Wife of Patternmaker Saws
He Was Not in Earnest
in His Reconciliation Act
RESUMES PROCEEDINGS
Asks the Court to Take Up
Again Appeal to Have Him
Punished for Contempt

In an affidavit filed yesterday by Sa-
die ]. Cleve, wife OF Leonard Cleve, a
patternmaker, she tells the court that
she is the victim of her husbands S
plausibility and asks that the contempt
proceedings instituted a week ago and
which she caused to be discontinued be
resumed forthwith, and that Cleve be
punished.
It appears from the affidavit that the
Cleves did not get along together. Mrs.
Cleve was of the opinion that she did
not get enough of her husbands earn
ings, and so instituted a suit for main
tenance. The action was heard by
Judge Seawell who thought that Cleve
was just a little bit neglectful. and or
dered him to pay his wife $50 a month
for her separate support. The order
was made April 16, and within a week
Mrs. Cleve had her husband cited to
appear and show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt of court
He did not pay her the money. The
hearing Of the excuses of Cleve was set
for April %, but they were never heard,
for Mrs. Cleve sent word to the court
through her attorneys that she wished
the matter discontinued.
Now, according to the affidavit Of
yesterday, Mrs. Cleve is sorry that she
was so lenient. She says that when
the citation was served her spouse
came to her and pretended that he
wished TO let bygones be bygones and
return TO the wife of his bosom. She
believed him to be sincere. she says,
and gave uD her idea of having him
punished for contempt. She has since
learned that Cleve was not sincere in
his declaration Of peace.
