EARLE IS GUARDED

It Is Feared by Guards That He Might Attempt Suicide. THE CASE MAY END SOON. Monroe, X. Y., Aug. 27. The trouble between Ferdinand Pinney Earle and his "soul mate" wife, Julia Kuttner Earle, which landed the artist in jail on a charge of wife-beating, gives promise of early adjustment. Both Earle and his wife are said to be desirous of a reconciliation and it is not believed Mrs. Earle will consent to appear in court to press the charge on which he Is held. Earle, who at first appeared to be opposed to any movement having for its object his release from jail, is said to be in a different mood. Guards have feared he would attempt to end his life. He has broken down completely and has declared that he would attempt to gain his wife's forgiveness. It was after news of Earle's change in demeanor that h?1? wife expressed a willingness to overlook the treatment which resulted in her husband's arrest. The trouble between the couple arose because Earle had forbidden his wife to nurse their babv. Application ha3 been made in Middletown for bail for Earle and Judge Royce fixed the aroonnt at $1,000. It is expected Earle will furnish the security required and shortly be released. ATTENTION ASTHMA SUFFERERS!
