Architect Says Man Struck Him With
Club and Judge Imposes
Penalty

A. M. Rickard, house carpenter and
flnisher was fined $40 yesterday before
Justice Austin for battery upon w. A.
Jackson, an architect.
According to the complaining wit
ness, Jackson had driven UP to house
in which Rickard was doing some work
and found the door locked.
Jackson had some words with the
defendant over the locked door. and to
clinch the argument Rickard picked up
a club and struck jackson upon the
head. Jackson did not follow up the
quarrel but swore out complaint.
Rickard claimed that he picked up
the club to use as a prop against the
door and that Jackson ran into the
stick, infiicting the injuries complained
Of. The court placed no credence in
this statement and promptly admins
tered the fine.

TELLS STORY OF
CRUEL NEGLECT
WIFE SAYS HUSBAND FAILED
TO SUPPORT HER
Mrs. Ellis Recites Her Woes to JUS
tlce--Man Declares Mother-in.
Law Was at Bottom
of Trouble

S. s. Ellis, formerly employed as a
solicitor, was tried before Justice Rose
yesterday charged with failure to sup
port his wife and children.
Mrs. Ellis, who lives at 1917 Bonnie
Brae street, told pitiful story of neg
lect. While she was on the stand
three pretty little children played about
the court room and watched their
mother with wondering eyes as she told
what a cruel and Indifferent father
they had.
Mrs. Ellis said that her husband had
lost several good positions through his
drinking habits and he had seldom pro-
vided anything for the family, although
always having enough to pay for liquor.
Mrs. Ellis said that she would have
starved but for the kindness Of her
mother and sisters. They had brought
articles to the house, paid the rent and
helped clothe the children, while the
father was out with the boys.
Ellis went on the stand in his own
behalf and claimed that his mother
in-law was at the bottom of the whole
trouble.
Saw Ellis With a "Skate"
IT never did have any peace when
she was about" he declared. "My wife

people don't like me and 1 don't like
them. We differ in temperament and
disposition"
Ellis called a butcher to testify that
his meat bill was promptly paid and
the man proved a damaging witness
for the defense.
''Mr. Ellis always paid your bill
promptly, didn't hep" inquired the at
torney for the defense.
well, you can just bet he did" was
the reply IT knew him too we'll to
give him credit T saw him coming
home with a skate on too often to
trust him.
Another witness called by the de-
Tense said that she hardly knew Mr..
Ellis and only had talked to his wife
at intervals over the fence. She had
bought a dozen eggs of Mrs. Ellis for
setting her old black hen and that
was about the extent of her dealings
with the family.
The court found the defendant guilty
as charged and will give him his SEN
tence this morning.
"The difficulty in such cases." re-
marked the court, '"is that sentence
comes harder on the ill-treated wife
than it does on the defendant"
