County Takes No More Chances
in Wife DesertiOn Cases.
Women Who Complain Against
Husbands Must Give Bond.
SHAWNEE HAS LOST ENOUGH
RecOnciliatiOns Ate Into Treas
ury for a Large Amount.
First Trial of Plan Made by
Attorney Lee Today.

In an effort to decrease county ex-
penses amounting to hundreds of dol
lars yearly. for wife desertion cases
wherein, after the husband is arrested,
and many times brought from neigh
boring states at the county's expense,
the wife refuses to prosecute, the coun-
tactics today. They compelled a wom-
an VIC wanted to prosecute her hus-
band who is in Nebraska for desertion
to put up bond for good faith"
The woman, Mrs. Bessie o. Harsh
berger. appeared in the county attor-
ney's office today and asked for a war
rant for her husband. Rad Lee, as
sistant. took the matter up with the
county commissioners who decided
that Mrs. HarShberger should put up
$50 bond to be forfeited if she re
fused to testify against the husband
after the state goes to the expense of
catching him and bringing him back
Since the wife desertion law was en-
acted it has been prolific in piling up
court costs against the state withou-
getting many kusbar ds convicted. The
usual course of wife desertion case
is that the wife comes to the county
attorney and obtains a warrant. Us
ually the husband is out of town and
many times out OF the state. The state
spends a lot of money to bring him
back for trial. Too often, the county
attorneys office has decided, the wife
visits the husband before the trial
They make up. He offers to stay at
home and support her if she will not
send him to jail
The wife appears before the county
attorney and asserts she will drop the
case. A wife can not be compelled to
testify against her husband. The
county attorney can do nothing but
dismiss the case and the county must
pay costs.
Harry G. Harshberger against
whom the warrant was issued today
Is somewhere in Nebraska, according
to the wife
