 HonoGs Plainv1lle Young Man. settlemept of the marital difficul- ties of MT. and Mrs. Harry Donahue was further regarded yesterday af- ternoon when following 8 hearing held in the town building an appeal was taken from the decision of Jus- tice A. H. Condell ordering the young man to pay $7 a week towards the
 support of his wife and daughter. He was released under bonds of $2o0 for appearance before the June term of
 the superior court.
 The affairs of the Donahues have
 been occupying the attention of Jus
 tice Condell and Grand Juror S. S. Gw1llim for the past few weeks. They attempted to bring about reconcil- iation between the estranged couple. but were unsuccessful and as a result
 the young husband faced the court yesterday on the charge of non-sup- port.
 Incompatibi1ity of temperament ap-
 pears to be the couples chief trouble judging from the testimony presented in court. Donahue did not seem to have anything to say against his young wife, but nevertheless he was not over enthusiastic over the pros pect of supporting her and their chill dren under the existing conditions. The court was advised that the ac-
 cused when he works can earn about $16 . week. Attorney J. G. Woods of New Britain, who appeared for tho defendant. argued that an order of $4 l week would be acceptible to him, but the state considered the sum en- tirely too small. Justice Condell thought the wife and child entitled to one-half the husbands earning ca pacity, but as the complainant was willing to accept $7 . week as the basis of settlement, he fixed the ] amount of weekly payments at that figure. an appeal to the superior court resulting.
