The defendant in the divorce suit
of Laura McCullom VS. James McCul-
lum has been charged with contempt
of court for falling to comply with the
order of the district court for the pay
ment of sos as temporary alimony
and suit money. The accusation was
made in a motion filed by the counsel
for the plaintiff in which it was al
legged that an execution of the judg-
ment for temporary alimoLy had been
served on the defendant in Warren
county, by the sheriff of that county,
by levying on four horses and two
cows belonging to the defendant. On
the same day that the execution was
served it is alleged that the defend
ant issued to his attorneys, Hender.
son G. Henderson, and to his brother,
l.. McCollum chattel mortgage on
1.-THE horses and cows with the pur-
pose of evading the payment OF the
Judgment. By reason OF the mort
gage the defendant secured perm
lanent injunction In the Warren coun-
lty district court to prevent the sher-
lift from selling the live stock under
the execution. .. This action, it is al
legged in the motion, was made by the
defendant with the wilfull purpose
and intent of getting his property out
of reach of his creditors and eVading
the payment of the sum ordered by
the court. For this reason the plain
tin moved that the defendant be made
to appear and show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
Iof court. Judge Clements, however,
refused the plaintiffs application and
loverruled her motion.
