never answered by the plaintiff.
The case lasted from Friday morning
until Tuesday evening. Tuesday morn.
ing was devoted by the court to the
preparation Of the Instructions to the
jury. Shortly before noon ATTORNEY Sc.
right for the plaintiff commenced his
opening argument to the jury. He ar.
gued strongly and consistently in behalf
OF his client and exerted every effort to
establish the unquestionable guilt Of the
defendant in the minds of the Jurors.
DE finished his remarks in the after.
noon, and after short talk from Attor-
ney Williams, Attorney Hicks, the prin.
cipal counsel for the defense began his
argument. Judge Hicks was prepared
to make forceful plea and did his side
OF the case justice in advancing one of
the strongest and most able arguments
delivered before jury in this city for
some time. That his talk carried con-
siderable weight was evident from the
fact that the jury in returning its ver
dict failed to find the defendant guilty
OF the second cause of action Of the
plaintiffs complaint-extreme and re-
peated acts Of cruelty.
The arguments of both sides ceased at
o'clock, after Mr.. Seright had finished
his closing remarks to the jurors. The
case then went to the jury, and after an
hours deliberation verdict OF guilty OF
non-support on the part of the defend
ant was returned.
Wednesday the time Of the court was
occupied in hearing arguments from the
attorneys OF the plaintiff and defendant
as to what almony should be allowed
the former. After considering the argu-
ments Judge Ashbaugh ruled as follows:
The plaintiff is to receive S2SOOO ali.
mony, $4,000 for past support and main
tenance OF the child, 5000 attorneys
fees, cost OF suit and $1,000 per month,
beginning May lst, for the support and

ant from the obligation. In her COM

the sum not to exceed $1,000.
