Plaintiff Says Bosworth Worth $i00, ,0OO.-Defense Says
 $15,0O0
Each Charges Other is Not Fit to
 Have ChiIJ

An attorney representing Daisy C.. Bosworth alleged in the superior court, last Friday morning, that Burt on D. Bosworth of Woodstock, defend ant in divorce action, is worth from S100,000 to s150,000. Counsel for Bosworth denied he was worth such a fortune but admitted he is worth $15,000. Defendants attorney charg- ed that Mrs. Bosworth is not a fit per- son to have charge of their child. Attorney for the plaintiff charged that the father is unfit for such GUS tody. It developed that the child is with an aunt and the court ordered that it remain where 1t is and the father be allowed to see it.
 The writ in which Mrs. Bosworth seeks a divorce, alimony and custody of a minor child, charges infidelity on the part of her husband, Burton D. Bosworth. The writ ordered that de fendant's bank accounts and property be attached for 100000. It was stated by counsel for the plaintiff that Bosworth acted before the sheriff and withdrew approximately $15,000 before the writ was served on the gar nishee.
 Fees Denied
 The case came up at short calen- dar session of the court, Friday morn ing, on three motions: For support of minor child for allowance to pros ecute and for alimony pendente lite. When plaintiff counsel started to tell the court how much Bosworth is worth LA Ht as to listen and that the motion for coun- sel fees was denied.
 Mrs. Rosworth's attorney then stat ed that she left her husband, who, he said, is reputed to be worth Si00,- 900 to S150,000. Before there was time to serve the writ of attachment Bosworth had withdrawn his money from banks. Mir Bosworths attorney ridiculed the statement that his client was so well to do saying he would admit he is worth Sl5,000.
 Plaintiffs counsel said Mrs. Bos- worth is with her mother in Water ford and is destitute. She Is ill and has no money to pay her doctor, to buy clothes nor to board and cloth her child, and is in debt. She re- quires S20 a week for the board and care of her child and, considering the wealth of the defendant counsel thought she should be allowed at least S70 a week. He said he was prepared to show that defendant is worth nearer $10o,00o than $15,000 and that he drew from banks S15,000 when he learned that action was to De brought.
 Out of Reason
 The attorney for the defense said that the sum suggested is grossly out of reason" for support of the child.
