Temporary Sum Is Granted
Again to American Wife of U.
S. Printing Office EmpIoye

Justice william Hitz in Equity
Court today reinStated an order
for Hermenelgildo Morales, 400
block Allison st. N. w., Filipino,
employe Of the Government Print
ing Office, to pay his American
wife, Alice Marie Morales, 5000
block Monroe st. N. W., tempo
rary alimony at the rate Of SIS
month.
The EaSt-WeSt romance of the
pair came to light last year when
the bride Of a few months had
her husband arrested and ar
raigned in Police Court on charges
of threats. She recited alleged in
cidents Of having been locked in a
closet and backed against wall
in the bridal apartment with a
wicked-looking Filipino knife
against her throat.
Morales filed suit for limited
divorce the following day, baSing
his action, in part, on his wife's
alleged cruelty in having had him
arrested. He accused her Of mar
rying him for his money, and de-
clared that he had turned a large
sum of money ove- to his wife at
the time Of the marriage, and she
and her mother had spent the
money and were anxious to be rid
of him.
Mrs. Morales countered with a
croSs-bill and asked for temporary
alimony. She denied that her hus-
band had ever had a large sum Of
money to her knowledge, and on
a preliminary motion was awarded
SIS a month. The order was later
suspended, and today reinStated
by Justice Hitz. Attorney Maui
