LAWLESS LOVE WINS FINE FOR MARRIED MAN Husband and Father Spent Money on Young Woman; He’ll Pay State Now. Sometimes it is the man who pays and pays and pays. In municipal court today, Elmer Faulkner, 33, of 2352 Ashland avenue, told a story of how he had paid and paid to the woman in the case, then learned he now must contribute SIOO to the state. Faulkner was convicted on cnarges of carrying concealed weapons and resisting an officer following his arrest Monday night by Patrolman Nolan Hill in the 400 block East Michigan street. Hill testified pretty Miss Nettie Beers, address unknown, pleaded for protectiorfrom Faulkner, and warned Hill the man was armed. A Kru/rgln ensued, Hiil testified, and he discovered th revolver in Faulkner's possession. Father of Two Faulkner, the father of two children, told William H. Harrison, special judge, he had been in love with Miss Beers. "I just went there to see if she still was a friend of mine,” he said. ‘‘l’m a victim of circumstances and it’s been hard keepiilg my family and her, too. ”1 told her if she had another man, I hoped it wasn't a married man, because I didn't want her to break up any more homes. I’ve bought her clothes and paid her from $4 to sl6 a week.” Miss Beers said when she met Faulkner Monday night he attempted to force her into his automobile. “Now, honey, you know I didn’t do that,” Faulkner protested. He continued his denials until he was silenced by court attaches. Borrowed Money A relative of Faulkner told the court the defendant was “madly in love” with Miss Beers. He said Faulkner had borrowed money recently to give to the woman. "You are sentenced six months on the state farm and fined SIOO and costs,” Harrison said. “I’ll suspend the term on payment of the fines and costs. “If you are able to pay this woman $4 to sl6 a week you can dig up SIOO for the state. And if you don’t pay, or if you see this woman again, you’ll serve that time.” Turning to Miss Beers, Harrison added: 'And if you don’t leave this man alone we may be able to find a way of making you do it.”

Too Real By United Press COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 22.—P. D. Kessler still is determined to play Santa Claus on Christmas day, but his impersonation is not going to be quite as realistic as he had planned. Kesler had not been content merely to appear beside the Christmas tree in a Santa Claus suit. He visualized himself actually sliding down the chimney and his daughter’s delight as he appeared with a sack of gifts in the fireplace. So he sent the child to visit a friend and started a dress rehearsal. He climbed in the chimney, but got no farther. Neighbors dislodged him, after tearing down most of the chimney where he was wedged. Today he nursed a pair of skinned knees and the firm conviction that realism may be carried too far, even in the traditional drama of Santa Claus.

'CULBERTSON'S BRIDGE LEAD IS SENT SOARING German Baron Aids Rout of Lenz, Jacoby for Margin of 11,120 Points. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Dec. 22.—Ely Culbertson. aided no little by a lean and lanky young German baron, Monday night gave a puff and almost blew Sidney Lenz’s card house dow r n in the far-famed CulbertsonLenz contract bridge match. Big Bear Ely and middle-sized Baron Waldemar von Zedtwitz started the evening 7,915 points ahead of Lenz and Oswald Jacoby. By the time they got through huffing and puffing they were 11,120 points to the good. This great gain was due mainly to

a very large puff by his baronical highness, Von Zedtwitz, who bid himself a small slam in diamonds on the last hand of the evening and promptly made same. This Baron von Zedtwitz is a millionaire person who owns a castle in Switzerland and a pent house on Park avenue. He combs his hair in an extremely funny fashion and smokes a cigaret in a manner that would baffle Joe E. Brown. The baron holds his cigaret in his hand and snaps at it whilst figuring out whether to bid psychic or be honest.
