SENTENCED TO JAIL
FOR NON-SUPPORT
Allison Potter of North Wood
stock Appeals From Find
ing Of Court
Justice Macdonald Orders Him to
Pay Wife SIS Weekly

An appeal was taken from a justice
90 the peaca's court imposing 2 .@s
months Jail sentence on Allison Pot
ter of North Woodstock, upon his re
fusal TO pay his wife SIS a week for
the support of the four children of
the couple. Mrs. Potter had her hus-
band arrested on a non-support charge
and the hearing in the case was held
Tuesday at North Woodstock. with
Attorney Archibald Macdonald, Jr.,
of Putnam presiding in the capacity
of justice of the peace.
Following the presentation of tes-
timony and arguments by the attor-
news for both sides. Mr. Macdonald
found Mr.. Potter guilty of non-sup-
port and ordered him to pay Sl5 a
week for the support of his family.
In the event of his refusal to do SO,
the alternative sentence was two
months in Jail. Mr.. Potter took an
appeal from courts judgment. He
was represented by Attorney Mon
tague, and Mrs. Potter retained Judge
Foss Of Willimantic.
This case is but one Of several at
which the Potters have aired their
marital troubles Their contested di-
vorce action attracted wide atten-
ton. The first time the action was
before court, il was stopped by the
presiding judge, following a dramatic
scene in which the wife confessed her
love, despite the awful beatings and
chokings which she testified had been
inflicted upon her by Mr.. Potter.
Court had hoped that by ending the
hearing, the affairs Of the couple
could be Strengthened out by confer
once. Such procedure proved a
failure. and eventually the case came
to trial a second time and went to a
finish. Judge Human denied the
wife's petition for a divorce.
The husbands failure TO provide for
mis- wife and four children led the wife
to bring her action against her hus-
band, alleging non-support.

so thoroughly trained and so anxious

were warmly congratulated upon their
success.
Second place went TO the Franco

claimed the New England champion
