Stafford. Mrs.Stafford has filed notice of her consent. The petitioner was granted a divorce from her former husband, Martin Hawkins, September 13,1902, and at that time the children were placed in charge of Mrs. Stafford. Hawkins was ordered to pay her $15 per month for the support of the children and has paid only $51 out of $285, and attempts to compel him to pay the balance have proved futile. Mrs. Hawkins was married to Clarence M. Richmond July 2,1903, and says she is now able to take care of the children, but wants the order to stand against Hawkins that he pay $15 a month.Shepherd,Anderson & Collars appears as her attorneys.
