OAKLAND, Feb. 16.-Though he

drunkenness rather than to pay the
So that would give him his freedom.
The predicament in which Law
renee finds himself is due in large
measure to the declaration of Mrs.
Lawrence to the end that she pur-
poses to prosecute her spouse on
charge of attacking her with cary
ing knife during a domestic mix-up
night before last. Mrs. Lawrence has
thus instructed her attorney, Thomas
Bradley.
On the other hand, Lawrence haz-
lily suggests that he was assaulted by
his wife in the melee that aroused the
neighborhood, sent Mrs. Lawrence to
the hospital and brought out the po-
lice. headed by Chief Hodgkins in per-
son. Lawrence, it is suggested by his
attorney, will remain in Jail the three
days that he may clear his beclouded
mind in readiness for the next step
in the family feud.
