DENIES PETITION FOR
 ALINONY IN SMITH SUIT

Judge George E. Hinnan has denied the motion for alimony pendente lite in the divorce suit of Sadie F. Smith of New London against Walter A Smith, fcIn- erly of that city now of Los Angeles, Cal.
 In has finding Judge Hinman says:
 "As it appears to be conceded that all or practically all of defendants property has either been conveyed by him to the pla~Itiff prior to the institution of this action or has been attached therein, an alimony pendente lite would have to be paid if allowed out of defendants per- sonal earnings These it appears, are, at most. insufficient to justify an award of the amount suggested. Furthermore the necessities of the plaintiff, taking in to consideration her personal means and the earnings capacity of members of her family residing with her, are not such as to require the granting of alimony pen dente lite.
 .'The motion is denied without nreju- dice to the right of the plaintiff to renew her motion should the condition of the parties undergo a material change before a trial of the action on it's merits can be had"
 The suit was brought on the grounds l of ntolerable cruelty since March 1, 1 1917 the couple having been married | on MarCnn ZZ, 1SJ9. MfS- .Snlln asked alimony, claiming her husband had prop
 erty worth $4Oo00.
 In an affidavit filed in answer to the motion for aiimony, NIT. Smith stated that he is now living in Los Angeles and | has frequently invited his wife to come
 there and live and is willing to provide
 a home G1ere for her. He says that he has turned over to her before leaving
 New London property worth S20, 1000. ant | that he only earned in 1919 a total of s1.. | 906 and that he gave his wife in that year $1.250 for her support and the sup
 port of the family of five children. Ht
