ment in the last half of 1918. In adj
dition, the French government has

FAILED To FOOL
ERRANT SPOUSE

DR.. Silas A. Austin has been found
guilty of filing false birth certificate
by the Los Angeles courts. AT the
time of Dr. Austins arrest il was al
legged that he and Mrs. Olive Mccoy
connived to deceive Mrs. McCoy's hus-
band into believing he was the father
by filing the false certificate and pro-
ducing a baby
Mrs Mccoy shortly after the baby
was a few months old came to Ari-
IONA. 1t was while she was in Buck
eye that her alleged treatment of the
child brought her into the juvenile
oo.., wne., ane MAS charged with neg
iecting the infant. After a somewhat
lengthy hearing she was permitted u
retain the custody of her son. for
whom she professed great fondness
gain her husbands affections through
the child. She said also she believed
he would lead a better life If he had
the responsibility of a father. Mrs
Mccoy is believed to be in Ajo and
that her plan did not succeed is dem
onstrated by the fact that Mccoy de-
serted her several weeks ago.
