Elkins, 3d. If the request cannot be granted Klkins asked that the money be paid into the hands of a guardian appointed by the court and not to ‘his former wife, Mary Kenna Elkins, mother of the child. ” Elkins denies that he has property worth $1,000.000, as claimed by the first Mrs. Elkins in her suit for an increased allowance for the boy, and that his income is commensurate ‘with that capital. His net income last year did not exceed $8,000, he states, and the outlook for the cur- rent year is much below i ure. As a reason for asking that a guar- dian be appointed, Elkins, through Attorney Wilton J.'Lambert, tells the court that the former wife desires “to mulcth him as far as possible un- der the guise of obtaining money for the boy, and that in reality the boy obtains "the benefit of but a_smail portion of the allowance.” says his former wife is ext and pays $250 per month apartment. i or an Mrs. Mary Kenna Elkins to show cause Friday why the order Should not be modified or a guardian ap- pointed to receive the allowance for the boy.
