The Picket Divorce Case.

During the past year, Mrs. Ada
M. Picket applied to the district
court in Redwood county for di.
vorce from her husband, Rufus S
Pickett, on the ground of adultery
committed with an unmarried
woman at Redwood Falls on three
different occasions. The commits
sions of the ofense was proved to
the satisfaction of the court, but
Judge Cox refused to grant the d.
vorce on the curious ground that
the statutes regulating divorce,
provide that divorce for adultery can
only be granted if the offense is
committed with a married woman,
Mrs. Pickett appealed to the SUI.
preme court, and a decision was
filed yesterday reversing the judg-
ment entered according to the pray
er of the complaint. In defining
the crime of adultery the supreme
court held that ''the text writers
say, that the party charged with
adultery being married, it is imma-
terial that the particeps criminis is
single. ''-St. Peter Tribune,
