Wife, Alleging
DesertiOn, Sues
Boy Husband, Is
At First He Read Beatitudes
Then Quit Her to Make
Man of Himself.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 10.-For
the first time in the history of
Michigan a fifteen-year-old husband
is being sued for divorce and ali
mony. The plaintiff, Mary e,
Chadwick, alleges that her youthful
husband, James Albert Chadwick,
abandoned her after telling her
mother he intended to go back
to school and make a man of HIM
self.
They were married May 5, 1921
AT the time of the marriage the
youthful bridegroom and his bride
were given a book on the beauti-
tudes of married life. 1t was from
this book, says Mrs. Chadwick, that
her husband each day quoted the
following excerpt to her:
The husband must see that the
early tender affection never fails;
that the gentle tone of life's morn
ing does not grow harsh. He must
love his wife through all the ave-
nues of life down through the de-
clinfng age to the sunset years"
In August, 1929, James listened
to the advice of his parents and
left her without any means of sup
port, according to Mrs. Chadwick.

PLEA
SAVES HIS EX- CHUM
Promises to Pay Shortage of
Ex-CIerk in Philadelphia
Tax Office.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-In-
stead Of being sent to prison for
embezzlement, Nicholas Clauser was
placed on probation for nine years
by Judge Bartlett. in Quarter Ses-
sions Court. after he had pleaded
guilty and after Magistrate Ed
ward p. Carney had told Judge
Bartlett that he would reimburse
the surety company which had
bonded Clauser.
While employed as a clerk in
the office of the receiver of taxes,
Clauser embezzled money paid in
for taxes to the. amount Of $1,552.
The loss was detected and Clauser
was arrested last March.
When Judge Bartlett was about
to pronounce sentence, Magistrate
Carney entered the courtroom rather
out of breath. Upon reaching the
bar OF the court the magistrate
said:
your honor. before you sentence
this man, l want to tell you that
this man and myself were orphans
together and boyhood chums when
we. both lived downtown. Where
have had good fortune, he has
been unfortunate. Your honor,
feel 1t my duty to stand by him
during his hour Of trouble 1t
was men like him who made pos
sible my good fortune. I will take
my savings out of the bank and
make good every penny he took.
He was soldier in France and he
was wounded and gassed. Further
more, your honor, I cannot see this
burden fall on his wife and ten
year-old daughter"
Il do not see where you have
been unfortunate Clauser; you are
rather fortunate to have such a
loyal friend as Magistrate Carney
to stand by you" said Judge Bart
lett. Most men when they are in
trouble, have no friends.
