Wife Deserter Given 1-2 Year Term at Waupun

Verne Larson, 32, formerly of Tomahawk, was handed a term of not less than one year nor more than two years in the state penitentiary at Waupun by Judge George L. Blum in county court Tuesday morning after pleading guilty to a charge of desertion and non-support of his wife, Lucille, and five minor children.

Larson was arrested at the Minneapolis postoffice Saturday by Under- sheriff Henry Neher when he called to get his mail at the general delivery window. Larson left his wife and five children, aged two to eight years, about March 1, last, and went to Montana where he stayed several months, officials said. He pleaded guilty to the charges when arraigned Monday afternoon and sentence was deferred until Tuesday.

"When you deserted your wife and five little children you committed a crime which, in my estimation, is second only to murder." Judge Blum told Larson. "There ls too much of this desertion and non-support going on and this court, from now on, will impose the drastic penalties provided by law in cases where the offense is an aggravated one."

Larson, questioned by the court, was unable to give any definite explanation of his actions. Mrs. Larson, officials said, has been living in Eau Claire with her parents for several months.
