HUSBAND TURNS THE TABLES AND WIFE LANDS IN JAIL Wife, if you contemplate throwing figurative stones at your hubby in the court of domestic relations, be sure you don't live in a glass house. Lydia Reichstag, 1840 -Larrabee st.,- cast a rock or two at Husband Richard in domestic court yesterday. She said he beat her, got drunk and would not support either her or their three children. When Mrs. Reichstag finished her story it looked black for Richard, but Richstag pulled up his pants legs and won his case so completely that Mrs. R. is due for some instructions in spring housecleaning at the Bride well. "There is nothing but dirt at our house," said Reichstag. "Run a fin ger over the table top and you'll make a gutter In the soil Mrs. Reichstag never works, she never does anything but go to the movies and sit by the front window and flirt with street car conductors. She sits there making eyes by the hour, every day. "She won't cook for me, she won't clean the house. The whole place is dirty. I'm dirty. "Look at .this underwear!" he sud denly exclaimed. Reichstag rolled up his trouser legs and exposed the legs of his un derwear. They were coal black from dirt. The wife here changed her tune. When she was telling her story she insisted she loved her husband, that she wanted him to continue to live with her, but wanted a court .order requiring him to give her so much per week. Now she insisted she did not want to live with him, wanted nothing to do with him. , Judge John Stelk leaned over the bench and sized things up, including the husband's underwear. "I can tell who is right and who is wrong here," said Judge Stelk. Then he told Ass't State's Att'y Michael Rosiiiia to swear out a war , f rant against Mrs. Reichstag, charg ing disorderly conduct. Rosinia brought her to immediate trial. She was fined $100 and costs, which is equivalent to 212 days in the Bride well Richard was released. o o U. S.
