Judge Callan this morning woebegone
and forlorI figure, in submission to the
mandate of an attachment issued at the
instance of his wife because of his con-
sistent failure to pay her $50 a week
awarded her In non-support proceedings
several months ago.
Dennis. who has been living in Union
street southwest. in line with his appear
ance and humble mien. preparatory to
being brought before Judge Callan. shot
a number of those pitiful please-don't
glances in the direction of his wife. who
sat close by. They didn't seem to move
as once perhaps they might have done.
Dennis leaned back i'm his chair with the
air of prosecuted martyr.
why haven't you kept up these pay
ments?" asked the court severely.
May it please your honor I've been
sick and troubled replied Dennis
What are your ailments?'
Everything. judge, everything. I'm

defendant.

changing the habit.
The only illness the man has possibly
been suffering from, it was intimated,
was the wear on that part of his
frame in constant contact with bench
in front of his door.
The court wound up the proceedings by
ordering that the suspended sentence OF
ninety days in the workhouse. imposed
at the time of the original nol-support
proceedings, go into effect. Accordingly
Dennis was "toted'' across the Anacostla
river i'm the big van. where he will labor
for ninety long days on the District
roads at 20 cents per day, which will be
turned over to his wife to purchase gro
ceries. clothes for the eight children and
pay the house rent.
It's hard to see him go to prison,
said the wife but we're so much in need.
And he hasn't spent a cent to help us
for long time. You see, he's the only
