 Grand Juror Charles F. Conlon conducted the prosecution this morning and had Mrs. Radcliffe testify as to conditions in her home. She said that her husband did not provide her or their five children with proper food and clothing, that he had not worked for some time, and that he was out late nights.

 The judge said that the children Were the main consideration of the court. He sentenced Radcliffe to 30 days in jail.
