Johns wife told a somewhat different

non-support case and the former his
main witness; and of two sisters, mar

her only witness, afforded Judge DeLacy
in Juvenile Court a half hour or more

his wife and children.
The tale which John unfolded to the
court may have sounded good 10 him,
but the judge evidently thought that
the defendant was far too squeamish;
much too particular what he did, and
not anxious enough to keep a roof over
his wife's head and food in the mouth
