 ID BE ARRESTED
LaSkOWSki WanderS Off But Is Caught-Must Post Bond

Ndlerlan Larry LdSkOWShl, fl, of 435 Burritt street, was ordered to post a $500 bond to insure pay ment of s10 a week for six months towards the support of his wife and two children or go to jail for 30 days. He was arrested last night after daring his wife to notify the police he had returned to New Brit ain.
 Mrs. Laskowski, who lives with her parents at 167 Hart street, testi- fled that her husbands mother eject ed her last October after failing for some time to give her enough to eat. Her baby had no milk while they were living with her mother-in-law, she said, and the latter told Laskow- ski to take his meals in her res- taurant in Broad street, so that he always had enough to eat.
 Since September. 1928, there has been warrant at the police station for Laskowski charging him with non-support Last night he stood on Commercial street, outside the police station, for long time while pOIlCS OulCPTS SSdICIlSu lOl lllC wal rant.
 Mrs. Mary Laskowski, his wife, believed her husband to be in Bos- ton. But last night he showed up at her home, together with several other men in a car, and wanted to be taken back. Spurned, he sat in the car, outside the house, to wait for his wife to come out.
 Chase About City
 Thinking that she would outwit her husband, Mrs. Laskowski asked one of her neighbors to take her out in his automobile so that she might get away from the man. It proved to be of no avail. Although they drove all around New Britain, the car in which Laskowslii was rid ing was never more than 100 yards in the rear. Finally the little cara van drove up Commercial street and the man with whom Mrs. Laskowsik was riding stopped his car in front of the police station.
 Dared by her husband to report him to the police, Mrs. Laskowski sldl tCb lOl tlC SldllOl- IICl accompanied her as far as the door. And there he stood while his wife told Lieutenant Bamforth that out side there was a man wanted by the New Britain police for nine months
 Warrant Missing
 The lieutenant was loath to be- lieve her at first. Then he looked cr11 ell of ,te but could find none for LaskoWslI. A prisoner came in and had to be docketed. After this, the lieutenant resumed his search of the files. It was not until Sergeant McAvay came in that the warrant was found.
 In the meantime Laskowski tiring of waiting in front of the police sta ton. had wandered off in his car But his wife had observed the num- her of the car in which he was rid ing. Officer O'Day took the number and started out on his motorcycle. Officer Harper bundled the woman in one of the police cars and they too started in search of the missing husband.
 A little later, Motorcycle Officers Harper and ODay returned with Laskowski in tow, having picked him up on Burritt street. His wife stood by and taunted him while he was be- ing searched preparatory to being locked in a cell. I'll see you tomor- row. she flung at him. as he was led down to the cell room by Officer Hellberg.
 Wants Children Supported
 After giving her testimony today, Mrs. Laskowski said she felt she should have S5 a week for herself and the same amount for each of the two children. Probation Officer Con- molly testified that Laskowski claim ed to have earned $10 a week and his meals in a Boston restaurant since leaving New Britain. His wife. Tn reply to Judge Sake said she did not know what his pay was when they lived with his mother, but they paid $15 week for room and board there. It was when she objected to the small amount of food given her that the mother-in-law elected her, not even allowing her time to dress and forcing her to go home to her mother on a stormy night.
 Laskowski pleaded guilty to the non support charge. and asked to be given g. chance 10 obtain employ ment and support his family. Judge SaXe told him he could do so under bond. as the court would not risk having him leave the Jurisdiction against.
