Jailed for Non-support
Declared by his wife to have absolutely refused to look after her or their five small children who have been on the point of eviction several times, John Putz, aged 37 years, of 1233 Everett street, was yesterday committed to jail by Acting Recorder Knight in default of a $300 bond and a guarantee that he would provide $6 a week for his family. Mrs. Putz averred that her husband had given her one month's rent in the past nine, that the children have no shoes and that she is cursed when she seeks assistance from him.
