After arraigning the defendant,
Judge Churchman In City Court today
presented Walter A. Grant, druggist,
of Fourth and Union streets, tried
last Tuesday on a nOn-support charge
with a Christmas present in the shape
of an order to pay his wife $3.50 a
week toward her support. Bail was
fixed at $500. and Grant was instruct
ed 10 appear in court when ordered.
Judge Churchman said he might in
crease the order when shown that
Grants earning capacity has been en-
hanced or lower IL in the event that
his money making ability Is impaired.
The courts decision follows.
"A considerable part of the evil
dence | have not mentioned as IT is
both unspeakable and unprintable''
said Judge Churchman In his opin-
ion after discussing some OF the eNl-
dence. In conclusion he says
"There is no direct proof here OF any
cnrnal act. but considerable evidence OF
many circumstances from which any
reasonable and Just man must infer the
gnilt of the husband, according 20 the

very clear that the evidence in this cast
beyond question, shows such cirelm'
stances and acts of the defendant. from
which no fair man can but reasonably
conclude that his relations with these
four women were improper. and the wife
is accordingly entitled to support. h'
