was 10 walk to the curb and called
 Jack" three times. Attorney Michae
 A. Sexton, counsel for the defendant
 asked Doty why he hadn't used his
 gun to stop the machine since he
 knew it was stolen and Doty said
 that the machine had been reported
 as stolen, but he knew that Sorrel
 owned the machine.
 Doty then testified that he was standing in front of the Sweeney
 block when he met Sorrel walking down Main street, and said that he was very drunk, supporting himself on the buildings as he walked. He said that they questioned Sorrell about the machine then and when they got no satisfactory answer, started to search the neighborhood for it, allowing Sorrell to continue along his way.
 Attorney Sexton asked him why the defendant wasn't placed under arrest then. and Doty said that they wanted to find the machine, because it had been reported as stolen. Here Doty was reminded that he had testified that he knew that the machine be- longed to Sorrell. and was asked if he thought that the man had stolen the machine from himself.
 kozlauskas finally located the machine on Winter street and called Doty. the two policemen going down 10 Winter street. When they arrived there, they testified that they saw Sorrell walking up Winter street on the opposite side of the street toward the machine. They then placed him under arrest, and brought him to the station after an alleged struggle, dur ing which Dety had the inside of his lip cut and kozlauskas received seV- cral kicks about the legs.
 Sergt. Michael ]. Flynn testified that when brought into the station, Sorrell told him that he had four or five drinks of whiskey and had parked the machine on Winter street because he felt himself going" and was looking for somebody to drive the machine home.
 Defense witnesses said that Sorrell had been in a Main street lunchroom after speaking 10 the police on Main street and just before his arrest. They testified that he had been there about 45 minutes and was sober. Three witnesses testified that they saw the policeman go down Winter street after him. grabbing him, Pa trolman kozlanskas putting his hand inside the mans collar and choking him so that he had to gasp for breath. One of the witnesses said that he told them not to choke Sor- rell. and was told that if ho did not beat it. they would run him in also.
 Several times while Kozlaushas and Sergt. Flynn were testifying, Judge Alling asked them if they knew of any reason why Doty had failed 10 testify to some Of the conversation that went on. and they said that they did not es Doty was present and heard it as we'll as they did

JUDGE PUZZLED BY POLICEMEN'S STORY
Testimony in Sorrell Case Causes
 Delay in Judgment

After hearing the evidence in the case of Jack Sorrell of 2OS Clark street, charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor, Judge Benjamin W. filling said There are many inconsistencies in the evidence presented by the state in this case, and I will take 1t under consideration. He continued the case until tomorrow.
 Sorrell was arrested on Winter street by PatroIman David Doty and kozlauskas after the police alleged he had driven his machine down Main street under the influence of liquor. He is alleged to have resisted arrest and that charge was also placed against him.
 Patrolman Doty testified that early Sunday morning, he was standing with kozlauskas at the corner of Main and Commercial streets when they saw an automobile going by. He said that there was noise under the machine that attracted his at tcntion, and then he noticed that the machine bore the numbers or one that had been reported to the police Friday night as having been stolen. He said that he recognized Sorrell the machine and when the machine was about 50 feet past him, he called Jack" He received no answer and called twice more, the third time, he alleges that Sorreli turned and said: Go to h."
 He said that he made no further effort to catch the machine. Judge Alling interrupted here and asked Doty, if knowing that the machine had been reported stolen and sus- pocting that the driver was under the influence of liquor, that was all the attempt he made to stop it and ap- prehend the man. Doty answered that he had on rubber boots and raincoat. He said that all he did

 Wives Complain V
 Most of the cases in this court are docketed by wives. Husbands, as q rule. dread to come into court. Some of the women like it. No two cases are exactly alike. But most all of them grow out of the root of all eyil--- money.
 T don't think the world is going to the bow-wows, and I'm not one of these who believe it is getting any worse, but from the experience I have gained since serving in this court, have learned one great lesson, and that is, the tale to the effect that two, can live as cheap as one is hokum, It can't be done, and neither can the av- craze man keep the average woman happy without considerably more money than the average man earns"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-28

Samuel c. Morrow, at 30, is con" firmed bachelor. He solemnly asserted Saturday that matrimony will never overtake him.
 Morrow is an officer of the court of domestic relations. That is why he has elected, after one years service, to steer clear of orange blossoms and rice barrages.
 "A year on this job," Morrow said, "has taught me many things. I may be young in years, but I'm old in ex- perience. After handling hundreds of cases involving marital difficulties, I'm firmly convinced that man is making mistake to commit matrimony unless he possesses healthy bank account and a handsome income, not to mention a world of courage
 Money, erGather the lack of money, is the basis of nine-tehths of all the trouble between wives and husbands in Jefferson county, according to Morrow. He ought to know, for he has to per sonally investigated every case that is docketed in Judge Virginia Mayfield's court. . #s oUthtU AhACWhfO e

In. many cases, however, the husbands themselves are to blame. They keep their wives in the dark as to the real status of their fi- nances. But in virtually every case, when the bankroll fades away, romance dies"
 The blase Mir. Morrow makes the further observation that wife-beating has virtually become extinct. But the hen-pecked husband remains with us, he adds.
 Most poor couples have children, while the wealthy come into court smil- ing Morrow ayers, and continues:

is clearly stamped on :. every section which is apparently so carefully phras- ed in an effort to avoid detection It is true that hardly any attempt is made to interfere with standards but stand ards are worthless unless they can be enforced. In other words, no attempt can be made to attack the justness of the law but it is claimed that the law is too rigidly enforced. The question to be decided is, can a law which is just be too rigidly enforced or should it be surrounded with red tape which as the Health Officer, Dr. J. D. Dowl ing pertinantly points out will render enforcement of the regulations imprac tical if not impossible"
