FROM COURTROOM
TO THE HOSPITAL
IS THIS MAN'SFATE
Non-Support Case Continued
Until Surgeons Weld Knife
on the Defendant

From the courtroom to the oper-
ating table was the recommendation
of, Judge Kunkel when Benjamin +.
Trout. of Duncannon, made an ap-
'plication, through counsel. to have
nonsupport suit against him con-
tinued.
Trout had his physician appear
to tell the Court he was in poor
physical condition and would prob
ably have to undergo an operation
for tonsilitis next month. Judge
kunkel ascertained he could be
operated upon at any time he chose,
so he directed continuing the case
until April s, and suggested to Trout
he should have the operation per-
formed tomorrow or as soon as pos
sible after that. During the hearing
it was stated in defense Trout was
willing to do anything for his wife.
Judge Kunkel then asked what he
was willing to do and was given the
same indefinite reply. The Court
then remarked: "He hasn't realized
his responsibilities yet. He has been
living with his parents for years and
keeping his wife there part of the
time. She supported herself while at
his parents home, it seems. To pro-
vide for her now means more than
pelnS WILING 10 90 SO, IL means 40
ing it also"
Must Keep Child
Howard Martin, held for nonsup-
port of a four-year- daughter, Of
fered to pay 50 a week for her
maintenance. Judge Kunkel re-
minded him the child. even though n
daughter by his first wife from whom
he was divorced last December, was
entitled to more than what was left
over after he takes care of his sec
ond wife whom he married in Jan
uary. He was directed to pay $4 a
week for the child's support.
Testimony showed he had given
his first wife $40 in two years. An
effort was made by a Philadelphia
attorney, j. r. Grier, to have the
Court give the daughter to Martin,
who is living at % North Thirty
eighth street. in that city. Judge
Kunkel said no disposition could be
made in such proceedings in a non
support case.
Lax methods Of a Philadelphia
magistrate in taking bail when the
case was first brought last year were
pointed out to the Court. Martins
brother entered security for his ap-
pearance in January, but at that
time the defendant could not be
found. He told the Court he was on
his honeymoon at Atlantic City in
January. 1t developed also in the
hearing that his first wife is criti-
cally i'll and not expected to live.

German Losses 100000
a Day, Experts Say

Washington. March 25.-Mem-
bers of the Allied Military Missions
said to-day that in the nature of
the fighting on the west front the
Germans must be losing at least
100000 men a day. They made this
deduction from the Germans plan of
massed attack, the number of troops
they are employing, and the strength
of the allied resistance.
The allied losses, it was declared,
would be far less than those of the
Germans, because they are fighting
on the defensive '.,tF
