UPPER MARLBORO, Md., April 20. —Ruling that a wife who voluntarily leaves her husband without sufficient legal reasons and refuses to return even though he is willing to provide a home for her, is not entitled to financial as- sistance from the husband, Judge Wil- liam M. Loker dismissed a charge of non-support against Neuman Garfleld Dudrow, Hyattsville merchant. Testimony revealed that Dudrow had been separated from his wife, Mrs. Catherine E. Dudrow, daughter of W. P. Magruder of Hyattsville, since No- vember, 1927, when she left their home. The next month she filed suit for limited divorce, but this was dismissed when the court ruled she did not have sufficient reasons for separating. Dudrow, who had contributed to his wife's support up to that time, stopped making payments when the sult was settled, whereupon the wife brought criminal action, and the man was indicted by the grand jury. Dr, B. P. Robertson, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Hyattsville, told of unsuccessfully endeavoring to effect a reconciliation. “A man Is entitled to the comforts and companionship of a home in return for the supcrorz he provides his wife,” the court declared in announcing its decision, “and as the defendant is not recfitwing these, the verdict must be not guilty.” Listen to €, BATURDAY, CLARK MEMORIAL PRESENTED TODAY Pioneer Explorer of Great Northwest Is Honored at Frederickshurg.
