That's where my money goes that I give her every week
 Mrs. Czaplick and her two sons testified that there Is trouble in their home because Czaplick has an au- tomobiIe in which he goes riding in the evening and returns intoxicated. Last night he came home and told Mrs. Czaplicki to get out of the house and stay out, and he attempt ed to strike her. She went out and returned with Officer Kazlauskas, who arrested the husband.
 Czaplicd denied that his wife's suspicious of infdelity are founded on fact The reason he will not take his wife riding in the evening is that she "crabs me all the time" he said.

T got one; that's plenty" he said to Prosecuting Attorney Woods, hold ing up his hand in a gesture of dis gust. Judge filling continued the case on probation, remarking that there appears to be fault on both sides.
 Czaplicki was about to leave the stand without taking his bundle of cosmetics, but Judge filling said he did not want them. They don't cost as much as you seem to think they do, either" the judge said.

He told her he did not care If he was sentenced to a year in jail for the assault, she said.
 Moroz, in his defense, said he has been looking for employment, and his wife goes out night after night without telling him where she goes or whom she goes with. Thursday evening he asked her why she does

 Mrs, Brown, however. said she does not want to See her husband and does not care where he lives or what he does, as she is dsgusted with him on account of his drinking habits and his disgraceful conduct about the house in the presence of their two small daughters. Sunday when he came into the house, she told him to get out. He would not leave and was pushed out, yet he 'LlSu to llidAc Alo way bdNN dSdll' He picked up the children's roller skates and acted as if he intended to to strike her.
 Judge Alung scored Brown for going to call on his wife so soon after his probation period ended, October 1. He evidently thought he could annoy her after being on probation. He warned Brown that he must remain away from her and if he does not do so, he will go to jail for fifteen days.
