Sparks, mother of I Blossom Sparks, who eloped and married Salvatore DI Blasi, an Italian, last August, was arraigned in juvenile court yesterday, charged with neglecting her children. She pleaded not guilty and the case was continued until Friday morning. A new feature to the ease against Di Blasi, who was convicted of child stealing, will probably become evidence in juvenile court when the charges against Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Di Blasi are heard. The truancy department, which has been concerned in the child wife's case before the marriage, understood she was more than fourteen years old, which will make Di Bias! innocent of child stealing.—lndianapolis Star.
