Under the compassionate probing of a social worker, the Sampleses spilled out their troubles. Vincent admitted drinking to excess. Geraldine agreed that she had nagged him incessantly. The couple still had faint hopes for their marriage, and willingly signed a lengthy reconciliation contract. One of the court's three staff workers went to work with the Sampleses as a counselor. Last week, 18 months after their reconciliation, Mr. and Mrs. Samples were in the chambers of Judge Louis H. Burke to thank him for saving their marriage.
