children.
Rushing at her. he threatened her
with bodily harm, but she assured

be in condition for a sprint. The re-
| suit of the dispute was the calling
of the police. who left after warn
ing Jablonski to behave, but they
had barely reached the yard when
Mrs. Jablonski called to them to ar
rest him as she was in fear for her
safety.

kins prevented Jablonski from leap
ing off the veranda from his tene-
ment on the second floor. He was
dressing preparatory to his ride to
the police station when he suddenly
made the leap.
In his own defense, Jablonski ac-
cused his wife of causing the trouble.
He admitted he had been drinking
hut he was not intoxicated, and he
had not intended to jump off the
veranda, he said. He admitted, how
ever, that he had in mind to dash
away from the police when he made
his sudden move.
Judge Roche told Jablonski he
was headed straight for jail and
would certainly reach his goal If he
continued his mode of living. The
charge being breach of the peace as
Jablonski had not been drinking
enough to be drunk, Judge Roche
continued the case for two weeks In
