 Non-S,ipport Cas-
 Frank O. Ekstrom Of 1t Broad Place. Forestville, as . result Of the decision of Judge Joseph ". Deno- van in police court today. must pest a bond Of S1.oo0 to pay his wife tlb week for the next year or serve a three months Jail sentence.
 Ekstrom was taken into custody by Detective Sergeant Daniel Mo Gillicuddy upon the request of Pro- bation Officer Thomas A. Tracy. who testified in court today that the man had failed to report to him as instructed by Judge. William J. Ma lone in police court on November 5. At that time Ekstrom was placed on probation for a six months period but in spite of the fact that the probation officer had called at his home on several occasions, he had been unable to meet him on any one of the visits. He also stated that he had been informed by Mrs. Eks- from that her husband would leave the house early in the morning and return late at night and that hs had declined offers of three jobs with local contractors. Last Sunday night Ekstrom was instructed by Officer Timothy Lambert to vidt the probation officer the following day but this he failed to do.
 According to MT. Tracy. there are five minor children in the Ekstrom family, the oldest, boy of nineteen. having been confined to the house for the past three months with an attack of rheumatism. Due to Ekstrom's refusal to work. the city has been called upon to assist in keeping the family together.
 Ekstrom at one time was con- fined to a sanitarium, but was re- leased short time later as being mentally capable. An examination by two local doctors . few months ago indicated that tho man was sane but that he apparently had an aversion for work. His bond had not been furnished at noon today and it is probable that he will be forced to serve the jail sentence.
