IN HE POLICE COURT.
Matthew Flyan sIess the Court lss
 Nsn Ssppsrt ef Family.

Matthew Flynn, n stan,per, em- ployed at various times by the Nov city Co, the Steele $ Johnson Go and the Waterbury Buckle Co, was before Judge Peasley in the city court to-day charged with neglecting to support his wife and four children during the past eight years. Mrs Flynn said she was never properly supported by her hus- band because he did not think her good enough. The eldest child, a girl of 17, has helped support the others by her work, but she has not been working for some weeks, and Mrs Flynn has been ill and her money all gone and she will have to fall back upon the city for support.
 Until she fell ill last summer shs felt herself independent 0f her hus- band and did not bother him. She was too proud to do that She worked for the Scovill Manufacturing Co and with the help she got from her eldest daugh- ter she was able to get along. But when illness overlook her and her money was going, she thought it time to make her husb band do his duty.
 We're out off work now" said she this morning, and there is nothing for the children to cat and we'll have to ask aid from the city. Eight years ago l had him arrested,' meaning her hus- band.
 Flynn showed himself on the stand to. be an artful dodger. He parried every question of the prosecutor He said he gave his wife $5 three weeks ago, but afterwards it developed that it was to the storekeeper with whom he deals he gave the money. He did not recall the name of the storekeeper. The last place he worked was at Steele X Johnson's, and there he earned from $6 to $9 a week. Judge Peasley thought this remarkably low wages for a stamper, and Flynn said there was not much work. He was ordered to pay his wife $5 a week for six months and to furnish the city bali of $15O that he would pay, or go to jail for thirty days.
