Hanover, told the court Friday the reason he didn't support his family while he was a groom for racehorses was based on the fact that he not only liked to work with horses, he also liked to bet on them too well.

Sanders, at a non-support hearing before the court Friday afternoon told the judges: "What she says is right. I left for work in April as a groom for race horses. I was making $57 a week. And I was playing the horses. I thought I could make some money and send it home, but I kept putting it off and never did get around to sending anything." Sanders said he had been promised a bright future by his employer, but felt he should get into some other line of work, "because I like to play the horses too much." Now employed as a truck driver, Sanders was ordered to pay $25 per week for the support of his wife and two children, pay the costs and enter into a bond of $500 ori his own recognizance to guarantee the payment.

No order was entered in the nonsupport charge brought against Arthur Sager, New Oxford R. 2. after a hearing. Sager was directed however to pay the costs in the case. Daniel P.

Seymore. Hanover R. 4, charged with operating a motor vehicle too fast for conditions, was found innocent by the court following a hearing, and the costs were placed on the county. Robert V.
