HIGH LIFE WRECKS HOME

HIGH LIFE WRECKS HOME
Alexander Thompson, 10, 3442
Pierce av., has a conf1ding nature. He
tells his troubles to strangers, but
yesterday in the court of domestic
relations he picked out the wrong
stranger and it cost Alexander his
choice of year in the House of Cor
rection or a surety bond that he
would pay his wife $6 week.
Alexander admitted he abandoned
his wife because he says he spent the
night with his mother and father and
when he got home from work the
next day found his wife Agnes lying
on the bed clutching bottle of pois-
on with which she said she intended
to commit suicide. Alexander said
he figured if she died it would have
been blamed on him, so he quit.
This boy doesn't intend to do the
right thing by his WIFE" said the
stranger to whom Alexander con-
fided. ''He sat beside me in the court
room and leaned over and asked me
if it was possible to get off an in
dividual bond and go away. 1 warn
ed him he had better not confide in
me, but he clearly showed his inten-
ton of going away if he is released
on bond" The stranger was the
lawyer of AIexander's wife.
you ought to have good spank
ing" Judge Fisher told Alexander.
"You haven't a single reason for
abandoning your wife. Since can
not give you what you need l am
going to order you to pay Sc week
for the support of your wife and
baby and furnish a surety bond. In
case of failure to furnish the bond
you will go to the House of CorTec-
ton for one year."
Alexander raised his brows in sur
prise and then he said to the bailiff:
''Take me away" and he staggered
to the bull pen.
