Bridgeport Man Appeals Court Order Imposed on
 Non.Support Charge

The embryonic efforts of a would- be-lawyer, Herbert Donnelly, 30, of 430 John street, Bridgeport, ended uneventfully in city court today when he was arraigned on a non- support charged preferred by his wife, Dixie. Judge John L. Gaffney further disillusioned Donnelly of whatever legal ability he had when he ordered that he pay his wife $7 a week for the support of his three years old child.
 Donnelly appealed from the de- cision to the common pleas court and bonds of $500 were fixed by Judge Gaffney.
 During one part of the trial when Judge Gaffney attempted to pave @ way for reconciliation between the couple, and was about to release the accused on his own recognizance, Donnelly bluntly interrupted to say:
 "Now wait a minute"
 Judge Gaffney quickly ordered Donnelly to keep quiet and after severely censoring him that he could not speak disrespectfully in this court or any other court. He also informed him that he was H. able to contempt of court.
 The accused remained silent for the duration of the trial.
 Two other non-support cases were nolled without payment. The men arraigned, were: Frank Iorio, 90, oi 40 Union street, and Howard B Clark, 29, of Woodbury.
