Loses Wife's Jewels.
Now Faces Divorce

There is moral for married men
IN the domestic troubles of DR.. Milton
). Lyons, a dentist. 1t is "Never
stand in a crowd watching a bulletin
board when you have your wife's Jew
elry in your pocket" DR.. LYONS did
that, and it cost him many days and
nights of unrest
The stolen diamonds, which consist
ed OF solitaire, pair of earrings and
ring with twenty-five gems, now are
an important feature in the separation
suit which Mrs. Lillian Lyons, the dem
lists wife, is bringing in the Supreme
Court.
Broken in health and nervous from
my wife's treatment" as DR.. Lyons says
In an affidavit, he left his home, fear
ing to face her after losing her jew
elry. He went to San Francisco. Mrs.
Lyons was in the Catskills at the time.
Dr. Lyons says his wife told him she
would like to be free, so he filed suit
for divorce in Sacramento, charging
cruelty. He later discontinued it and
came back to New York.
Mrs. Lyons charges abandonment
She also alleges that when she re-
turned from the Catskills she learned
that the dentist had removd all her
belongings and mortgaged them to his
sister. DR.. Lyons contends that he
took only what belonged to him.
DR.. Lyons says his wife brought her
sister and her child to live with them
and made life unpleasant for him. Mrs.
Lyons says her husbands income is
$4,000 a year. Justice Lehman yes
terday awarded her $25 a week alimony
pending trial.

Richard A. Cummings. nineteen years
old, of Charleston, S. c., made a STIR
ring plea for another chance in picture
and verse on the wall of his cell in the
East Orange Police Headquarters,
where he was confined until turned
over to the naval authorities.
On the cell wall he drew a pencil
picture of sailor blindfolded, stand
ing before the stone wall as the sun
was rising, while to the left he por-
trayed a mother holding service flag
for her son. Underneath the picture
with the caption "The End" was the
following verse:
Ear away on another shore there's a
flag that | still love,
With it's silken stripes of red and
white, and field like the sky
above.
1 deserted the navy, but not the flag;
twas just month ago,
And l did not leave for the fear OF

blow.
Oh, God! If they'd only pity one who
has gone astray,
And lead him back to the beaten path
and the light of another day.
