in jail for contempt of court in dis
obeying the order to pay temporary
| alimony, attorneys fee and costs in
| his wife, Yin Kyau All Leong's, d.
vorce suit. Then he did not pay. OF
| course he was let out, as he could not
be imprisoned beyond the term of his
| sentence.

sufficient to make him pay the judg-
| ment. Now he is again cited to appear
before Judge De Bolt and show cause
why he should not once more be pun
ished for contempt. The time set is
| 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. It was
$97 he had to pay under the courts
| order of December % which he is now
charged with disobeying. Two addi-
tional sums of SIS each are now charg-
ed up against him, SO that the amount
of his delinquency is 1927.
Two minor children of the couple are

cal attention, according to an affida-
Wit by Charles Creighton, attorney for
the wife, who is without means of or
binary support for herself and chill
