The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-07-20
DIVORCED
 HUSBAND HERE HASHIM ARRESTED

After an absence of pearly five years from his wife and four little children, now living at 97 Beach street. Joseph Litvin came back to Bridgeport from anew with his family. Divorced about a year ago for deSertion, Litvin had received assurances that if he would only come back. his wife would open her arms and they would be remar- ried.
 As they were preparing to set out from the Beach street home to find a rabbi to reunite them in wedlock, Pa trolman Meyer entered the house and served a warrant on Litvin. arresting him for non-support of his four little children. Then for the first time Lit win realized that he had been duped.
 The wife had succeeded before the arrival of the officers in persuading him to turn over $20 to her for the little folks
 Litvin and his wife auarreled about five years ago and he went away to parts unknown. It was a long time before she learned where he was. Af- ter the time required by law had pass ed she brought suit for divorce and the custody of the children. and her husband did not contest the suit
 Since the divorce was granted, year ago, he sent her s15. about five weeks ago. and again yesterday he gave her s20. This is all he has done for the children in five years Mrs. Litvin said. Litvin was represented in court today by Attorney Charles H. Shapiro, who objected to the prosecu- tion of his client, claiming the action should be brought through the Super for court, in the case of a divorced per- son, while Prosecutor Redden urged Judge Foster to take Jurisdiction, pointing out the fact that Litvin if acquitted on the charge for which he was arrested, might at once return to Burlington beyond the Jurisdiction of the Connecticut courts.
 Judge Foster asked Iitvin what he was able to earn. and the prisoner re- piled that at present he made $6 or $7 a. week. The judge at once ordered him from the stand. declaring his be- lief that the man was perjuring him self. He then continued the case un- til Saturday in bail of $200 Litvin said he was unable to furnish the bail, and he was committed to jail.
 Monday night Fields warned Night Watchman Peabody, a Main street watchman, that a man was sleeping at the corner of Bank and Main Sts Peabody aroused the man and found he had been robbed. He sent the man to police headquarters to tell his story.
 He said he was Joseph McGarry. a plumber for the William P. Kirk CO, living at 62 Oak street. He had just returned from Albany, and had say ed $50 to take a vacation. He had s10 in one pocket the remainder in another, and the larger sum was mis- sing.
 Captain Arnold took Fields gently but firmly. into the inner recesses of the detective bureau and for a few moments not a sound emanated. Fields was then locked up in a cell. Then he told Detective Hall he would confess and a little later he was brought forth a second time into the detective bureau. He made a clean breast of the offence. He said he had hidden most of the money at his home, and he took Detective Hall to his room, 4S5 Broad street, tutned back the mating and brought out $37 Then he went to the Pink Block where another man with criminal record holds forth and secured from him SIS he said he had entrusted to his keep ing The rest he had spent
