Seldom. if ever before. has any
prisoner in the city court here re-
ceived such a scoring by the court
as did Arthur Moenius. arrested
Tuesday on charge Of deserving
his wife. Maude. and fve-year-old
son.
MOerius left his job at a local
factory and joined the army at the
South Bend recruiting Office by tell
ing the officer that he was not mar
ried. His wife learned Of her hus-
bands enlistment through The News
Times and forthwith swOre out a
warrant for his arrest. which was
made Tuesday morning by Patrol
man Weaver
Wednesday morning when the
case was called for trial, Moenius
pleaded not guilty to the charge and
the taking Of testimony was begun.
The defendant was the first 10 be
placed on the witness stand. and
after the prisoner admitted joining
the army for no other purpose than
TO desert his wife and child Judge
Feig halted the proceedings, saying
it was no use 10 hear any further
testimony. The court opened his
chastisement by saying that the
prisoner was the most reprehensible
whelp that he had ever had to deal
with in that court, incidentally or
dering MOenius 70 remove a small
flag from his coat lapel. saying that
the accused's action was a disgrace
TO the flag The United States army
doesn't want such men as YOU" said
Judge Feig. "A man who would
shirk the responsibility of providing
for his wife and child without
cause as you have done. is not the
kind Of a man that is wanted in the
army. I can't express my contempt
for YOU"
On Moenius' promise to return to
work and make proper provision for
his family, the court fined him $50
and costs and suspended it on the
