E. c. Nungesser Must Explain to
Court Why He Hasn't
Paid Wife's Counsel.

Hundreds for alimony, but not one
cent for costs or counsel fee," is the
motto which has brought Gilbert C.
Nungesser, of South Seventh street,
heir to $31 900 under the will of Mrs.
Thomas b. Peddie, to the brink of cor
tempt proceedings in a suit brought by
his wife, Edna, for separate main
tenance.
An order directed to Nungesser to
show cause why he is not in contempt
of court by December 30, was granted
today by Vice-Chancellor Emery on
motion of John Hubbell, Mrs. Nunges-
ser's lawyer, who wants the counsel fec.
Hubbell, in securing the order, de-
clared that Nungesser appeared to be
willing enough to pay a small weekly
sum in alimony, as ordered by the
court. but baked at paying costs and
counsel fee in his wife's suit, as di-
rected to do by the vice-chancellor.

three salaried commissioners in each
county whose duty 1t shall be to draw
the grand n petit juries for the diff
ferent courts. This is one of the Gov
ernor's hobbies.
There is now on the statute books a
law enacted at the instance of former
Governor Stokes which has worked
partial jury reform. 1t allows judges of
county courts to strike from the lists
of jurors drawn by sheriffs any names
they may desire. They may strike out
all of the names drawn If they wish,
and continue this until the sheriffs
make selections satisfactory to the
court.
Another move IN this direction was
urged In the Legislature last winter
by organization Republicans, but the
bill disappeared. 1t provided that the
county Judge should prepare a list from
which the sheriff must pick grand
jurors. A measure of this kind was
urged In the asst message of former
Governor Stokes.
Under the jury commission plan snug
berths would be created in each Of the
twenty-ons counties Of the State.
