and child desertion, when there
no such charge pending agains
him, suit has been filed in circuit
court here against Sheriff George
Bridgeman, of Berrien county

failure to pay his divorced wife
alimony of $40 a week. which is
not a felony and for which he
could not be arrested and thrown
in jail. Bernan explains that he
got out of work, that he notified
his ex-wife's father that he had
gone to Kentucky to take course
here and to prepare himself for
