IS PAROLED FOR 7 YEARS

Aged Husband Must Report to Probation Officer Every Sunday Morning. New York.—Every Sunday morning for seven years to come Erman Dunker must make a pilgrimage to the police court and report to a probation officer. There had not been even a ripple of discord in the Dunker home In Green Point for the forty years the couple had lived together until last Sunday, when Dunker “developed a grouch” and discharged a. revolver at his surprised spouse. Then she bad him arrested. The old man was so repentant when arraigned that the judge decided on the period of probation. Dunker was bewildered at the long term. “But I am already an old man and I shall die before the time is judge,” he mildly remonstrated. “Well,' if you do you will not be punished for breaking your parole.” the judge assured him.
