FEARS WIFEFAVORS
 HER OWN CHILDREN
Husband, Held for Assault, Tries
 to Argue With Judge

Al61lt, as Ht "do lCoFill6 'AAo PAe~SS of employment by Sergeant Thomas J. Feeney, who investigated com- plaint from the mans wife that he had assaulte her on the night of September 26, was fined $15 and given 60 days in jail by Judge M. D. 6axe in police court today.
 The judge said that he felt the fine should be levied but out of con- sideration for the mans family he suspended the jail sentence and placed the man in charge of Proba- ton Officer Edward c. Connolly with the warning that another appearance in the local police court would mean his being sent to jail.
 Sergeant Feeney testified that he found Mrs. Jokubczyk and four chill dren in the home, when he went there to investigate the complaint of the wife, with nothing to eat but some cabbage soup. On his second visit to the house with the police matron. Mrs. Metty disclosed that the family larder consisted of some bread and potatoes
 Mrs. Metty testified to having ex- amined the mans wife on hearing her complaint of assault and related how she had found her limbs, and shoulders badly bruised. Her testi- mony also brought out the fact that Jokubczyk had not worked in over month and in that time the only means of support for the wife and family of seven children at home was gained from the sum of $20 re- ceived as rent from store in the house.
 Claims Illness
 When Jokubczyk took the stand in his own defense he stated, through an interpreter, that he had not been able to work steady because of ill- ness of long standing. He claimed that previous to this illness he had worked steadily and had contributed faithfully to the support of his fam fly. In answer to a question by Prosecuting Attorney Woods as to whether he had requested his wife to make liquor for sale, he answered that he had asked her to make it, but not for sale.
 IODdllol oIIlSSI oOlllioAAy oNotSA that the case had been brought to his attention some time ago and pre- scented a serious problem. The fact that Jokubczyk had been married twice and had children from his former marriage seemed to be the seat of the trouble as Jokubczyk be- lieved that his wife was showing favor tc her own children to the de- triment of the others.
 After sentence had been pro- nounced Jokubczyk had to be led away from the witness stand where he persisted in arguing with the judge.

She was doing the best she could to accomm odate him when he became too impatient and struck her over the eye, she testified.
 Sokolowski stated that he had not worked in some time but had job to go to in Suffield. Judge Saxe told him to take the job and to re- main out of trouble in the future.
