twelve had brains heavier than L4o0

MOTHER, WITHOUT SUPPORT
TELLS COURT A SAD STORY

one of them a little girl who is with
out shoes
Mrs. TarbuttOn herself. was dress
ed lightly for this season. She was
without goves. Her husband. how
ever, was attired in a heavy over
coat and seemed 20 be comfortable

a painter, had been ordered by the
Court of General Sessions in Septem-
Der. to contribute S16 month to-
wards the support of their two chill
dren. He had failed to do SO. she
said, although he had given her some
money last month. The mother told
of the condition of her children and
OF how she had tried to support her
self until she lost her position
through sickness. AT this point in
her story, Mrs. Tarbutton began to
weep.
Judge Churchman asked Humane
Agent Stout what he knew Of the case.
Mr.. Stout replied that TaThutton had
been arrested at the instance of the
Attorney-General's Office when they
heard of his Noncompliance with the
courts orders.
TarbuttOn, in his own behalf, said
he had not been ordered by the court
20 support his family, but had ex-
pressed willingness 10 contribute to-
wards the childrens support weekly.
Judge Churchman said he had never
heard of the court making weekly or
ders, and held Tarbutton under $500
bail for the Court of General Sessions.
