A pitiful case was aired when William Tomlin, a big, strapping, broad shouldered rolling mill man, was given a hearing on the charge of failing to provide for his family. His wife and little daughter were in the courtroom. Mrs. Tomlin testified that he had done nothing toward the support of the little one for 11 months.

"It's a good thing for you that you are not in a Cincinnati court facing a charge of this kind." said Prosecutor Phillipps, "for you would go to the workhouse for about a year. Whatever differences exist between you and your wife, there is no excuse for you to try to starve this little one to death." The case was continued until today.
