in the matter; if they placed Conley on
probation, he would have to take him.
| Mr.. Jeffrey was more interested in the
care of the wife and child, which his in
yestigation showed, had not been prop
erly done in recent weeks. The breach
! OF peace did not merit very heavy
! penalty, and the court did not seem in
clined to sentence for non support when
the respondent had pleaded guilty to a
different offense. The court announced
| that the imposing of the penalty for the
breach of peace was stayed until Tues
day morning, so that the other officials
could investigate and see what action
they wanted in the matter. When the
case was called up this morning it was
continued with the court. The grand
juror, having investigated the claim of
non-support, found in his opinion that
he could not substantate the allegation
and declined TO 60 farther along that
line. So the penalty for the breach of
peace charge was not imposed.
