Judge Suspends Ten Day Improvement for Father Who Abandoned Children
John H. Parker, a 2 patent attorney, faced a juvenile court for failing to support his four motherless children. The sentence of twenty days’ improvement was suspended on his promise to provide for them. Parker, earning about fifty dollars weekly, disappeared after his wife’s death, leaving the children destitute and one ill with scarlet fever. He later returned, took up care, vanished again, and was arrested after a warrant was issued. He had gone to Liverpool from Baltimore, then messaged his employer in Baltimore seeking funds for return passage. The employer declined to send money, citing the need to support the children. Parker is described as capable, with an earning capacity above average, and has since returned to his old job with conditions to ensure the children are cared for.
