WOMAN CITED
FOR CONTEMPT
ACCUSED OF VIOLATING TERMS
OF DIVORCE DECREE
Harry Plots Declares His Divorced
Wife Refuses to Allow
Him to See His
Children

AS a sequel to a recent divorce trial
before Judge Monroe in department six
of the superior court, in which Mrs.
Ina Plots was granted an interlocu-
tory decree from Harry Plots, an order
to show cause why she should not be
fined for contempt of court was served
yesterday upon Mrs. Plots and she will
be tried Friday morning.
According to the complaint entered
by the husband several days ago before
Judge Monroe, his wife has refused to
allow him to see his children since the
divorce was granted although 1t was
the order of the court that he should
have the two little ones from 5 o'clock
p. M Friday until Sunday evening each
week.
She will not even let me see the
children" said Plots yesterday. Every
time / have applied at her home on
West Third street to see the babies I
have been refused admittance. On one
occasion she told me the children were
i'll and on other occasions her mother
said they were out riding and would
not be back for several hours, so that
at no time since the granting of the
divorce have 1 been allowed one glimpse
of my little boy and girl I have tried
to see them every week and have called
at the home each time"
Judge Monroe promptly issued an
order against Mrs. Plots, summoning
her to apear in court and show cause
why she should not be fined for con-
tempt. The papers were served yes
terday and Mrs. Plots received the
deputy with smile.
Wife's Side of Story
ST don't see where he has any right
to see the babies" she said. THE court
gave them into my custody and he has
not even cared enough about the young
sters to buy them shoe string. The
entire expense of the children has fallen
upon my shoulders and while am will
ing and more than willing to take care
of them 1 do not feel that he has any
right to come stalking in here and de-
handing the babies for a few days and
then giving them back to me to take
care Of The least he could have done
was to have remembered them Christ
mas. but he didn't, and they did not
receive a single gift from him."
| The Plots divorce case was filled with
the strenuous difficulties of the couple.
Mrs. Plots alleged cruelty, intoxica-
ton and non-support At the trial she
testified that her husband had abused
her and called names and that he was
addicted to the cocaine habit. She
further charged him with having kid
naped the little girl, Goldie, aged 5
years, and with having taken her to
Ocean Park, where he kept the child
uncared for in tent.
| The mother was able to locate fine
baby after employing detectives and II
was because of Goldie and her brother
Raymond, 3 years old, that the divorce
proceedings were contested by the
father.

Junk Dealer Charged With Buying
Secondhand Goods From
Minor Is Discharged

William M. Campbell, charged with
buying second hand goods from a
minor, was discharged from custody
when the case came up yesterday be-
fore Police Judge Rose.
The attorney for the defendant
pointed out the conflict between the
state law and the city ordinance. The
state law says that the minor must he
under the age of 16. and as the bow
who sold some junk to Campbell was
over that age, the court dismissed the
case.

for the flies which He created for the
special purpose OF worrying these self
