EARLE IS GUARDED
1t Is Feared by Guards That
He Might Attempt
Suicide.


Monroe, n. Y, Aug. 27.-The trouble
between Ferdinand Pinney Earle and
his soul mate wife, Julia Kuttner
Earle, which landed the artist in jail
on a charge of wife-beating, gives
promise of early adjustment. Both
Earle and his wife are said to be de-
sirous of a reconciliation and it is
not believed Mrs. Earle will consent
TO appear in court TO press the charge
on which he is held.
Earle, who at first appeared to be
opposed to any movement having for
its object his release from Jail, is said
to be in a different mood. Guards
have feared he would attempt TO end
his life He has broken down compile
teIy and has declared that he would
attempt to gain his wife's forgiveness.
J 1t was after news of Earle's change in
demeanor that his wife expressed a
willingness to overlook the treatment
which resulted in her husbands ar
rest. The trouble between the couple
arose because Earle had forbidden his
wife to nurse their baby.
Application has been made in Mid
dletown for bail for Earle and Judge
| Royce fixed the amount at $1,000. 1t
is expected Earle will furnish the Sc
curity required and shortly be releas-
