Bass To Escape A Workhouse Sentence Here
Brother To Come and Pay Up and Secure Provisional Release from Jail
Earl W. Bass, of Lima, was sentenced to six months in the Dayton workhouse and ordered to pay costs in a case prosecuted in the probate court on a charge of non-support. Bass was arrested on the charge of failure to support two children in custody of his divorced wife in Mechanicsburg. He was arrested October 19 and pleaded not guilty and was released under bond. Friday he appeared and changed his plea to guilty and received the above sentence.
A brother, however, has promised to come this week and pay up all the back payments, approximately $200, ordered by the common pleas court of Allen county where a divorce was granted the wife some time ago. Bass was ordered to pay $10.50 every two weeks and was remiss to the extent of about $200.
Judge Banta agreed to suspend the workhouse sentence if the back payments would be met as well as a regular two weeks payment in the future, and as soon as the bank payments are settled, along with the costs. Bass can secure his release from the county jail by promising to keep up payments.
