Judge Holds Advantage Taken When Agreement
 Was Signed.

In case of an appeal, bonds will be fixed at S2OO,
 While on the witness stand this morning. Mrs. Fuller retoId the story which she presented at 8 hearing last week. At that time the case was noIIed.. The wife claimed that her husband now earns $3S-46 as a resu- lar salary, but draws q bonus and va cation pay which brings his weekly income up to approximately $48.
 Although drawing this amount of money weekly, Fuller, according to his wife, forced her to sign an agree ment whereby he guaranteed to pay her the sum of 8 a week for six months, for the support of their two months old child. Mrs. Fuller testified that since separating from her hus- band, on November J0 she has re- ceived three checks from him each for $3.
 The defense claimed that Mrs. Full Ter received S20O from q joint bank account, at the time of the separa- ton, over $500 from the sale of the family furniture and also the promise of a payment of s weekly. This was given as proof that Fuller left his wife well provided for, and did not commit the crime of non-support-
 In making his decision, Judge Bartlett stated that he believed B a week was totally inadequate for the support of the child. and also that Mrs. Fuller had been taken advan- tage of when she signed the separa- ton agreement a short time after she had left a hospital. Attorney Edward J. McManus appeared as counsel for the defendant, and Attorney Robert E. DeForest for the plaintiff.
