onder arrest at Kenosha, Wis, ac-
cording to a message received Fri
day night by Sheriff b. II. Lytle. Sles-
singer is charged with non-support of
his wife and minor child, now resi-
dents of Mt. Vernon.
Slessinger was apprehended in Ken.
osha, Wis, some weeks ago on a
charge of passing worthless checks.
In a message to Sheriff Lytle the
district attorney indicated he did not
have a strong case against Slessing-
er and was willing to turn him over
to the Knox county officials to be
tried here on charge of non.support.
Owing to the absence Of Deputy
Walker from the city, Sheriff Lytle
will deputize Constable Sensel to go
to Kenosha after the prisoner. Con-
stable Sensel will probably leave to-
night or Sunday.
