Dock Tucker Must Support the 15-Year-Old Wife He Abandoned, Jan. 5, 1924

Dock Tucker Must Support His Wife

Stanly News-Herald

Dock Tucker, a young white man, was in court Monday morning on a charge of abandonment of his 15-year-old wife, Mrs. May Tucker. The court found him to be guilty of breaking his marriage vows. The decision of the court was such that Tucker must contribute to the support of his wife, the sum sufficient to her support. Mrs. Tucker is in delicate health, and he must pay the County Welfare officer immediately the sum of $25 and on the first day of each month thereafter the sum of $20, and the welfare officer will see that the wife receives the same. A bond of $50 was asked to enforce the payment of such money.
