John J. Smith, Of Milwaukee, for
mer Kenosha barber, was brought be-
fore Judge Belden in the circuit court

Element Of the alimony, and for this
reason his former wife sought to hava
him punished by the court. Smith,
when he appeared before the court,
stated that he would pay the money if

deferred action on the payment of the
alimony for one month, and for week

CLAIMS ne IS A POOR MAN


Dr.. Bradfe1d A. Garfield, who was
recently made the defendant in a sem
sational suit for divorce brought by
his wife, Cora ]. Garfield, came into
court before Judge Belden this morn

why he had not paid the temporary
alimony and suit money directed by
the court. Garfield held that he was
not able to pay the money, aud plead
ed that his income would not permit
any expenditure for divorce purposes.
| The court held the matter open until
Thursday morning, when the hearing
will be continued.
DIR. Cam6eld filed an answer to the
suit brought by his wife, IN which he
makes denial of many of the charges
brought by the wife in her original
petition to the court. In his answer
the doctor states that he has only a
small in come, and that the total fees
received from his business in Chicago

receives no salary from any institn-

practically to give up his practice.
He shows that he owns no real estate
