FOR NON.SUPP0RT
Osborne Arrested When
About to Marry Again Will
Begin Term of Two Years
Seven Months for Not Sup.
porting Four Children

William Osborne will begin at once
probably the longest term Of imprison-
ment ever melted out in this State for
non-support following the violation of
the conditions of his parole. His entire
sentence will amount to two years and
seven months.
Osborne. who has been employed in a
local garage as repair man, was arrested
last April for not supporting his four
minor children. Judge r. E. Brown
learned that the man was earning about
s25 per week, and ordered him to pay
$40 to the support of the children as his
wife was dead and he was not keeping
house. On condition that no did not do
this. he had a fine Of 500 and costs fac
Ing him and year and half imprison-
ment.
1t devolved on Poormaster Delaney to
collect the money which has been slow
In Forthcoming at times, and during the
past three weeks no money was paid in
at all. Osborne put up the plea that he
was incapacitated for work and it was
found that he was suffering from a vene-
reai disease To make matters more
complicated Osborne was considering taxi
ing to himself a wife and had made in
auiries to ascertain If being on parole
would deny him the privileges of we'd
lock. He found out that it didn't The
authorities investigated Osbornes affairs
little further with the result that they
decided to notify Probation officer JEFF
freys OF the facts in the case and as a
consequence, Deputy Sheriff Smith arriv-
ed in the city Saturday morning and took
Osborne in tow. thus fracturing any ideas
of connubial bliss he may have had.
He was taken before Judge I.add and a
mittimus was issued.
Postmaster Delaney now has the chill
dren In charge and has good home for
them. They are aged two four six and
ten years. What will be done with them
in the future as yet is undecided
