E1wood Broadway, a well known
Norwalk resident, was brought before
Judge eager in the superior court this
morning to show cause why he should
not be committed for contempt of
court for failure to pay aIimony to
Lydia c. Broadway. Broadway ex-
planned that he had several confer
ences with his wife recently. He said
she was willing to returnsto live with
him but her lawyer advised her to
fight the case.
Broadway said he didn't like the
way his own lawyer, Attorney Hege-
man of NorWalk, was handling the
case. There was laughter among the
spectators when Broadway remarked,
~I didn't have money enough to hire.
a first class lawyer SO hired him
The defendant had been ordered by
Judge Case to pay 81 a week a1imony
while his wife's divorce petition was
pending. He told the court his prop
erty was attached and he wasn't able
to pay alirnony now. The court said
he would reserve decision.
