We were married. We didn't have an

happy for two months, and then he
left me- Since then my father has been
supporting me and 1 haven't seen Moy

The Chinaman refused to tell his side
of the story. He said tersely that he
has a good defense. and that he will
have half a dozen witnesses on hand
to testify for him Tuesday.
Harrington, who said he was sixty

could not support the girl and her

Refusing To Provide For American Wife
And Baby

When Harold Moy. cook at a Pennsyl-
Vania avenue chop suey restaurant,
faced Judge Callan in the Juvenile
Court, charged with failing to support
his wife and child. he claimed as his
defense that he had a family in China,
and that he couldn't afford to main-
tain two homes. Lula Moy, sixteen and
pretty, daughter of George Harring-
ton. of 3415 o street northwest, holding
a tiny sloe-eyed baby In her arms, was
the complainant.
Moy, who is the first celestial ever
brought to the Juvenile Court charged
with non-support, had the case cpntin-
ued until Tuesday, asserting he could
prove then that Mrs. Moy has no legal
claim upon him. During the hearing he
hardly glanced at the child and the
little girl who said she was his wife.
Holding the baby close and rocking
1t gently to quiet II, the wife stood be-
fore Judge Callan's desk and faltered
out the pitiful story Of her infatuation
for the stoical Chinaman, ending in
their marriage six months ago.
