ton. no fire. although IL was a cold day,

Mr. Bishop was also present with a
friend who tried TO induce him to give
his wife money, but Bishop refused. how
ever. when an intoxicated woman en-
tered the house and requested ten cents
OF him he gave II 10 her.
Agent Thurber had known OF the family

living in Pawtucket they were arrested
for keeping a house branded by the police
as nuisance; and once in this city the
eldest girl stole. IL is said, a pocketbook
containing money and gave II 10 her
mother.
Many visits were made by Mr. Thurber
10 their house and as he found conditions
growing worse, placed the children in the
custody OF his society. At the hearing

society be permitted 10 have the perma
nent custody OF the children. Sergt Peter
F. Duffy and Patrolman Thomas f. Kav-
anaugh OF the Second police station testi-
fed regarding the house conditions.
Agent Thurber charged Mrs. Bishop
with being a drinking woman, and Patrol
man Kavanaugh confirmed his charge,
but on advice of Judge Sphinx 1t was with
drawn.
Mrs Bishop stated that she desired
to have her children placed in the soci-
ety's care until she was able TO support
them, as she intended TO go to work.
Judge Spinks decision was In accord
ance with her desire.
