Justice William Cunningham gave him the opportunity of filing the bond or else going to jail for 30 days. l This was the second time within a month that Mayors has been haled into court on complaint of his wife. He is a steady worker but he claims that debts he has incurred in fur nishing his home, have all but over whelmed him.
