tanned divorce through a divorce Law
yer, and upon the same day married an
other woman in Iowa. The courts @
the latter state declared the divorce pro
ceeding illegal and the second marriag
adulterous. To-day the Chicago cour
held that the divorce was valid accord
ing to the laws of Illinois. Ii is there
fore illegal for Sloan to live with ethel
wife, although married to both, and hal
children by both. He might, however
legally live with his Ohio wife in low
and with his Iowa wife in Illinois, bu
could not live with the Ohio wife in Hi
nois, or with the Iowa wife in Iowa.
