Sentence and Paro1ed Him. -

Judge George H. Whitcomb Bonded
a man-made law to comply with the
rights in a moral law Friday afternoon
when he sentenced C. l.. Van Alstine
to three months in the county Jail
for bigamy and instantly paroled the
young man. Van Alstine promised to
get divorce from the second wife
and then. if possible. persuade Eva
Van Austine of Garden City to get a
divorce so he can remarry Emma Van
Alstine, wife No. 2, the girl he claims
he loves and the girl who listened to
his explanation Friday morning when
he was arrested, kissed him, forgave
him and told him she still loved him.
Even Horace G. Foster, represent
ing the county attorneys office at
Garden City, who came to Topeka to
prosecute Van Alstine, was touched by
the young mans story and offered no
objections to the clemency shown by
Judge Whitcomb.
Spiteful Letters Shown.
Foster presented letters to the court
mailed from Topeka to q New York
law firm and remailed by the New
York firm to Garden City demanding
an. immediate investigation of Van AL
stines affairs. These letters Judge
Whitcomb described as. spiteful and
by his actions cut short the revenge of
person believed to = be one of To-
peka's professional trouble makers.
Van Alstine told the judge that his
first wife wouldn't make home for
him and he begged and implored her
for years to get a divorce. He Joined
the navy and served there for eighteen
months, meantime falling in love with
Emma Rosenberg, a New York girl.
whom he married. He told her that
his first wife died and she knew moth

BEEF CATTLE.
Killers made repeated, efforts to lower
the prices of fat cattle this week, owing
to liberal supplies, but each time they en-
countered strong outside competition and
the average price level remained unchanged:
Exceptions were that good to choice fed
cattle and the best heavy grassers sold

Traders in corn anticipated nearly to
perfection the amount of the increase in
the corn yield announced in the govern
ment's latest report on the new crop. Aside
from this factor, bears were favored by
knowledge that for the first time In long
while the average price of hogs had fallen
below SIS. On the other hand gossip
that congress might replace the import
duty on corn had a more less buIlish
influence.
Oats were upheld chiefly by an important
shrinkage of the visible supply.
Weakness in the hog market pulled
down provisions at times. but the effect
was largely counter balanced thru buying
