THE BARNEY CASE BEFORE THE ORpH1x,s
CoURT, JUDGE PURCELL Blount Commenced
his argument for the petitioner in this case yes
terday, and contended that the decree of .he Jas
per county court Of the state Of Iowa was final
and conclusive under the constitution and laws
and was strictly In accordance with them Tha,
state had the power to grant divorces, and the
Legislature Is fully competent to prescribe the
manner Of notifying contestants. The Jasper
county court having complied with the forms OF

or ten days.

court could be held in this court In . collateral

he then read and reviewed the divorce cases
cited by the other side, Ssriatin7 contend no that
not one OF them was analogous to this. In this
case the law Of Iowa prescribed the mode, of

Of the suit for divorce He knew perfectly well
that the French courts gave Mrs Barney six

ny Continuing this branch Of the SUBJECT, he
said Mr.. Winder had served notice upon MT,
De krafft In relation to the matter
Mr.. Winder emphatcally denied that such wss
tee case, and said he would explain. He carried
note from Mr.. Barney to Mr.. De Kraft as to
where Ms Carney was, and he (SIr. De Krafft
then stated most emphaticalIy "you never shall
know until she has got the divorce"
Mr.. Blount said that they had tried to scare
this woman of

Mr.. Barney. He had the note and would read IT,
Mr.. Winder said he desired to explain The
note to Mr.. De Kfaf was written at his mr. Win

having the domestic relations of Mr. and Mrs
Barney brought before the public. Mr. De Kraft
WREN ne read itssed the expression quoted above
Mr.. Blount continuing, said, Mr.. Barney had
notice by the action Of the French courts. He left
this country and went 10 Paris TO get out Of the
way, and the notice followed him. and he never
denied that he had got IL.
WI. Winder said he denied It for Mr. Barney
most distinctly now. Every effort was made to
discover where Mrs Barney was New York de-
tectiyes were engaged in the search, postmastsrs
through the country were telegraphed to- and
postmasters' lists examined, and nothing was dis
covered until they received answer from the
postmaster in Jasper county after Mrs. Barney had
obtained the decree Of divorce
Mr., Blount then proceeded to argue the right
Of this court TO appoint guardians or to displace
natural guardians for cause. He read a case tried
before Judge krebs Of the Circuit Court in Balti-
more city, and reported In the Baltimore Sun TO
show that In the State Of Maryland such power
was acknowledged to be in the Orphans Court
the said Criminal Court having acquiesced In the
action Of the Orphans Court Of Frederick county.
He Contended hat on Mrs Barney's death Mr. Bar

other reason why Mr. Barney should not be ap-
pointed guardian IL that by the will Of Ed. De-
