Pope Loses Contempt Case Over Alimony Exile or Jail
Henry G. Moore son of the late Andrew M. Moore of Philadelphia must surrender to a New York sheriff after refusing $1,400 alimony and posting a $60,000 bond. The appellate division refused his petition for review, ruling his desire to live in New Jersey was irrelevant to the contempt order. Moore received $28,000 a year from his father and claimed he could not live on less than $1,700 monthly, a claim his wife called preposterous.
