AIonzo Van Ripper, After Twenty

Mrs. Van Ripper, who has been draw
Ing a weekly sum, denies this charge
and asks for separation with support.
Nothing is said about the custody of
the two boys, as they are both of age
and amply able to take care of them
selves.
Van Ripper is a policeman stationed
at the City Hall and was married about
twenty-five years ago. Married life
seemed to, go we'll until about eight
years ago, when several disagreements
with his wife occurred. The reason
for the trouble has never been learned.
1t is sufficient to. state that they sepa-

wife deserted him, while she enters a
denial. At any rate he has been pay
ing her a weekly stipend.
Now he comes into with a pc

desertion, the petition being filed by
Frank M. McDermit. To this the wife
has filed an answer denying the deser-
ton and says she doesn't want a di-
yorce-merely a separation with sup
port. She is represented by Lawyer
Frank Benjamin.
The matter came up yesterday be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Emery, who took
the papers and will his de-
