Payments to Second Wife
Who Helped Support First

Ira A. Wells of the Rex Photo Com
pany Of this city, the father Of FIVE
children, four by a former marriage and
one by his second wife, who is seeking
a divorce, today tainted and fell from
his chair In Superior Court. room 8. when
Judge T. ]. Moll called for hearing on
a petition to modify an order OF the
court requiring Wells to pay $40 week
toward the support of his second wife
and child.
As Wells fell from his chair In a dead
faint, attendants rushed to his assist
ance. Judge Moll waited until Wells
was revived and then heard one Of the
most unusual recitals Of two unhappy
marriages which has ever been told be-
fore him.
According TO the testimony, Mrs. Maude
Wells. now of Madison, Ind, obtained
q divorce from Wells in November 1913
The court ordered Wells to pay his
former wife 81 week for the support
Of his three children and IS i week for
a fourth soon to be born
Ia court Wells admitted that he was
delinquent to the extent of 500 on the
order OF support.
The evidence showed that about
month after the granting of the first
divorce Wells married Mrs. Effe Gladys
Wells, who is now suing him for divorce
Testimony showed that Wells second
wife paid his expenses to Madison to at
tend the divorce trial of his first wife
and since the second marriage has con-
tributed money of her own earning to

Pop Leppert, Machine
Cog, Given Term-Free
Deputy Sheriff Signs Appeal Bond on Con-
UictjOn After Redrrest.

Charles "Big Sinner" Middaugh also
was arrested In connection with the case.
and was convicted in city court, while
Leppert's case was continued indetn-
itely in that court. When blind tiger"
charges against Middaugh were dis
missed in Criminal Court Lieutenant
Cox caused the rearrest of Leppert and
he was brought into city court, but his
attorneys managed to obtain a number
OF contInuances.
A change Of venue was demanded and
Frank Berryhill, an attorney, was
named special Judge. When Leppert ap-
10" red In court yesterday he told his
attorneys he would not be tried by Ber-
r,tu I. They replied that they would
not withdraw his affidavit asking for 3
change OF venue. Ira Holmes and Fred
Bonineld withdrew from the case as at
torneys for Leppert. Then when Pop"
asked to be tried by Judge Pritchard,
Berryhill vacated the bench.
Leppert Is the man with whom Prose
cutor Claris Adams compromised two
judgments on forfeited bonds which
were at that time collectable. BY this
compromise Adams saved Leppert at
least $3.50.

his first wife.
On Nov. the present Mrs. Wells be-
gan the divorce action against Wells,
asking for support of herself and 10
months-old baby. The court at that time.
Wells attorney agreeing, ordered Wells
to pay $40 week TO his second wife and
keep up his payments Of sS week to his
first wife. Wells then filed a petition
to have the amount fixed by Judge Moll
reduced. This the court refused to con
slider until Wells had complied to date
with the orders Of the court by making
payments to his second wife.
The evidence introduced showed that
Wells, in November, attempted suicide by
drinking poison. He claimed that It was
because of the alleged unfaithfulness OF
his present wife. Mrs. Wells contended
that he attempted suicide because she
found compromising letters" from other
women in the pockets of his coat.
Judge Moll. after hearing all the evi-
dence, reduced the amount ordered for the
second wife from $40 to $25 month and
advised Wells to comply with the orders
also of the court at Madison.
THE court has no sympathy with the
petitioner in this case be 'ause she might
have expected treatment such as she
claims she has received following her
ma rriage under such circumstances and
neither do l have any respect for the de
fendant," said Judge Moll. "This court
is interested in one thing and that Is
that the children resulting from these
two marriages are properly supported.
That this court will see to as far as the
jurisdictioQ Of this court extends

Lorenz Leppert, during wet days pro-
prietor Of a snloon in the notorious west
end "red light district. was convicted
In city court late yesterday on a blind
tiger charge and fned $3.50 and costs
and sentenced 20 serve ninety days at
the Indiana State Farm. He is not in
jail today. Leppert appealed and his ap
peal bond WAS signed by Frank Kempf,
1927 South Illinois street, a deputy sheriff
OF Marion County.
Pop" Leppert, long considered an
important cog in the good government
political machine. has been convicted
three times In State courts and once in
Federal Court on charges OF violatinA
the prohibition laws. previous to his
conviction yesterday, the police say.
For that reason the sentence given by
Judge Walter Ptitchard carried with IL
the heavy Imprisonment sentence.
The case Of Leppert has attracted
considerable attention since his arrest in
August and recent rearrest. Lieut..
William Cox found an automobile with
a large supply Of white mule" whisky
at Lepperts gasoline alling station last
August, but Pop" denied the owner
ship OF the liquor or the automobile.

some time. Walker was listed in the city
directory in 1919 as a gardener and in
1920 as labOrer.
WHAT STATE LAW
SAYS ON SUBJECT.
Liquor held by the police in Indian
apolis is liquor which has been seized
under the provisions Of the Indiana pro-
hibition law, which SAYS:
Liquor seized as herein provided,
and the vessels containing it and such
fixtures and articles snail not be
taken from the custody Of the officer
by a writ of repIevin or other proc
ess while the proceedings provided
herein are pending, = When
such liquors, vessels and fixtures are
seized as provided for in section 25
Of this act. it shall be the duty Of the
court to fix the-time for hearing and
determining the purpose for which
such liquor is kept. If, at such hear
ing it is found by the court that such
liquor vessels and fixtures are kept
for the purpose Of selling, bartering
or disposing of intoxicating liquor
in violation of the law, the court try
ing the case shall order the same de-
stroyed forthwith.
CONSTITUTES TWO
VIOLATIONS OF LAW.
In the delivery of liquor to individuals
on the order Of Orbison the police are
violating the liquor laws Of Indiana in
two ways, giving away liquor illegally
and removing 1t from the jurisdiction Of
the court
In the Walker case, still another statuts
las been violated. insomuch as the
liquor given TO Walker on Orbison's
order was evidence in a cause pending
in city court and its dissipation was a
violation OF the State law against the
destruction Of evidence.
Investigation discloses that Orbison
has been using the pretended authority
of his Office for the dispensing of whisky
for some time, Lieutenant Forsythe. who
has charge Of the whisky stored at the
police headquarters, being authority for
the statement that he has received ana
filled at least twelve such orders q
month
Orbison recently asked a newspaper
man not to make public the fact that
he was dispensing this liquor and IN
the course of his conversation admitted
that he had no authority for the dis
pensation. He attempted to Justify it on
the grounds that the liquor was only
dispensed for medicinal use," but he
gave no explanation as to why he should
attempt to do what Judge Sparks held
could not be done without violation of
the Indiana prohibition law.
The Federal statutes provide for the
sale Of whisky as 4 medicine and in
other States physicians prescriptions are
filed by druggists. In Indiana drug
gists are not permitted to handle whisky
for that purpose because of the gem
orally accepted ruling Of Judge Sparks
that the only intoxicating liquor that
may be legally sold on the prescription
Of a physician or any other way is
pure grain alchohol.

A merchants and citizens commit
