In the divorce case OF Carrie Lance

5000 since the order became effective,
but later Mr.. Carver corrected him by
stating that Lance had only paid since
July H. Mr. Carver stated that in
ability of himself to get his cases ready
was the only reason he asked this be
continued until Jan 20, and that the
order be allowed to stand Mr. Laird
pressed the matter considerably, and
Mr. Carver stated that he would pay
the SIS week TO Mrs. Lance, If that
was the only reason Mr. Lance had for
wanting TO rush the case, because his
client was not to blame If he had so
much business he could not try the case
when the other side was ready. The
