NO. 2 HAS ORDER ALSO. uthor Taken From Commo- dore Hopes to Furnish Bail To-Day, Hayden Talbot, playwright and au- thor, made @ change of address this @arning between 1 and 2 o'clock. Mr. ‘Talbot was a cuest at the Hotel Com- modore until that hour. ‘hen after reading an order by Supreme Court Jastice Tierney he “checked out" escorted by Deputy Sheriff Bisenstein and Detective Harry Osborne, regis- tered at Ludlow Street Jail.

The playwright, it appears, owes $8,000 back alimony, for which his former wife, Mrs. Benedict Bristow Talbot, an actress, obtained an order, Mr. Talbot overlooked paying it and Justice Tierney signed an order re- qairing that he be committed for con- tempt until he had given a bond in thet sum. ‘The Deputy Sheriff and detectives were waiting in the room adjoining Mr. Talbot's this morning when he exrived, and announced they were a veteption committee acting for the court to deprive him of the freedom g the city. The playwright ex- fained that he had several import- engagements to-day and one in fashington on Friday with a mem- er of the Cabinet, and it would up- t sts plans very much to have them terfered with. He said, however, expected no difficulty in obtaining @ bond when his friends heard of his arrest for so slight an amount. As far back as the time when Jullus Sarburger was Sheriff the playwright ‘was a candidate for membership in the Alimony Club in Ludlow Street | Jail, Mrs. Benedict Bristow Talbot having obtained a divorce with an allowance of $75 a month.

Recently Norma Talbot, now in the pictures, obtained a divorce in Los Angeles and an order from the court in that city requiring that Talbot pay her $150 a month for twenty months. With her order for alimony she started Fast on April 30, Mr. Talbot is not dismayed by the orders of court "or alimony on both the Auantic ana Pacific coasts, and, according to his friends, is contemplating making an- er try at matrimony. r, Talbot has written several ys, the best known of them being e Truth Wagon, a newspaper story, wroduced in this city in 1914 and in which his second wife appeared. Jail Now for Man Who Refused to Wash the Dishes Watson, Ore to Support Fam- ily, Didn't Do So and Court Loses Patience. Magistrate Miller, acting for Mag- ‘atrate Kochendorfer, while the lat- ter is in camp with his regiment at Peekskill, to-day ordered George Watson of No. 126 Fifth Street, Long Island City, to put up a bond for $780 to pay his wife $15 a week or go to the workhouse. Watson was locked up. Watson is the former railroad de- tective who was ordered by Magis- trate Kochendorfer to wash the dishes, take his family out once a week and get a job to support them. phen he failed to do this the Mag- trate ordered him to get a man- ‘sized job in a week. He came in to report to-day. “How many places have you visited to get a job?” asked Magistrate Mil- ler, “Three,” paper. “I see you visited one place June and two places June 3.

OTHERS MAY BE ADDED. Mrs. Leeds and “Clara,” Al- teady Named, to Be Wit- nesses for Banker’s Wife. To strengthen her defense, Mrs. Anne Urquhart Stillman will further amend the answer to her husband's divoree suit by naming two more women, it was announced to-day. One is known only as “Helcn,” said to be prominent in society. The other has not as yet been identified. The addi tions will be made before hearings are resumed June 15. The permission to amend, already granted by the Court, is broad enough to cover the additional names. Another announcenient of John F. Brennan, chief couse: for Mrs. Still- man, is that Florence Leeds and the mysterious “Clar the women ai- ready named by Mrs. Stillman in her “affirmative defense,” will be called as witnesses for the defense. It was “Helen,” it was stated defi- nitely to-day, who aroused the Jealousy of Florence Leeds one time on Mr. Stillman’s yacht. Mrs. Stillman's lawyers have proof that she was on board the Modesty one time tn the fall of 1920. This was when Mr, Stillman's yacht was close by in New York waters. One of Mrs. Stillman’s lawyers said to-day that Florence Leeds be- came so jealous when she discovered that “Helen” had been on the Modesty that she spent all the next day searching for her, and would not be satisfied when assured by mem- bers of the crew that she was not on board. “Mrs. Leeds" then accused “Helen” of having stolen her watch. {DOOMED MAN PUT IN STRAITJACKET Officials Expect to Have to Drag ‘Woman's Slayer to Death Chair To-Night.

La Guidice attempted James Kelly he went to asi to attack him what he wanted for his last meal. Joseph P. Doyle of Rochester, La Guidice's attorney, is trying to reach Gov.
