Eleven years ago, as has been pre-
viously told in the Evening Star, kaas

but failed TO keep his promise and she
sued him and recovered a judgment

painting business

Newark, bringing his wife and three
children, Sylvia. aged ); fiorence'
aged 8. and Miriam, seven months on
May IL. while he was painting q
house. he was arrested by q sheriff g
n
stance of Miss Livinsky to satisfy the
Judgment Kaas was unable to get
bail and he was committed to jail,
where he has stayed since and where
he seems likely to stay for long
time to come unless some one comes
to his rescue.
Meanwhile Mrs. Kaas and the chill
dren have continued to sleep at inc
Bruce street address, dropping lnto
the apartment of her sister-in-law'
Mrs Barnet Chobricher, upstairs, Tor

against kaas and having paid $3.50

his relatives and said she must give
her daughter, who is now ten years

Miss Paula Laddey, Of the Legal
Aid Society, counsel for kaas, said

ways OF getting his freedom, but has
been unsuccessful.
