HOW DIVORCES ARE OBTAINED +,
"New York" Witness and n Astonis h ed
.s--s F-a# 81 VITA. t=#

/ tFrom the Chicago Times, June 4th. -
petition was Yesterday filed by Emily A.
sylvester in the Recorders Court, asking that
tecree of divorce entered against her IN Feb-
ruary last be set aside, upon the ground of
| fraud 10 obtainiE gthe same. The hles show
! that bill was filed in Deeembe last by her
husband. Joseph II. Sylvester, setting forth
that be parties were married in is59in the
state OF M alne, and that they lived together as
is alleged thatMrs. Sylvester deserted her aus
hand, and that the desertion had been con-
tinued until the filing of tbebill. An affidavit
Of non residence was ,on the file stating that
the defendant, Mrs. Sylvester, was a non-
resident, and upon such affidavit a pubiica-
i ton notice, usual in such cases, was issued by
the clerk. The notice was pu blished for four
weeks in the Western Merchants Price Our
rent, and upon the filing of certif cate to that
effect, the default of the defendant was en-
tered The proofs were taken by deposition,
the witnesses residing in The city of New York.
An affidavit of the attorney. A. Goodrich.
alleges that be posted the in interrogatorIes to be
propounded 10 the Witnesses, in three public
laces.saccording TO the statute. The deposi-
uons were returned and the evidence fully
sustained the allegations of tae bill. Both de-
ponents positively swear that Mrs. Sylvester
deserted her husband at Peoria, in this State,
In 1868, although one OF them somewhat
weakens his testimo ny by the additio.. al as
serton that she had no cause whatever for
her desertion. Upon the positive evidence
thu furnished, the court ordered that de.
cree OF ivorce be ter d, as is customary in
such cases.. .... g.. ..... .-
The petition filed yesterday, however, claims
that the whole proceedings are fraudulent and
the testimony wholesale perjury. Mrs Sylyes-
ter states that her husband enlisted in an Eas-
tern regimen IN which he served until nearly
the termination Of the war, and was then
transferred to the reserve corps, but subse-
quently received a commission In the regular
army. She alleges that she never was in
Peoria, Ill. and that her husband has never
resided here tor the period of year. as stated
in the bill or. in fact, at all She further
claims that she has been in constant CORES
pondenee with her husband during the war,
and that she has received remittances regular
ly from him until one day, instead of receiv-
ing the usual amount Of funds, she received a
certified copy of the decree ef divorce above
mentioned. What action will be taken in the
premises is yet uncertain, the court taking the
matter under adyisement. There appears to
be nothing upon the record by which the
court copld be informed as to the nature of the
trans action The only crc umstance calculated
to excite suspicion is the fact that the pablica-
tion was made in the Western Merchants
Price Current a newspaper not usually se-
lected for publishing legal notices. This,
however, was compliance with the statute
which allows such publication to be made in
any newspaper published in the county.
