The NickersOn Divorce.
WHAT Mr. KER, OF GOVERNMENT COUNSEL IN THE
STAR ROUTE CASE, SAYS ABOUT THE LAW AND
THE PROCEEDINGS IN PHILADELPHIA.
"Under the Pennsylvania law" said Mr. Ker, of
the star route counsel, speaking to STAR re-
porter to-day about the Nickerson case, "a person
desiring divorce flies libel or complaint. There
are only four reasons why a divorce wi be
granted-1. Wilful and malicious desertlon:
Cruel and barbarOus treatment: 3. Adultery
and 4. marriage obtained by fraud. When the
respondent cannot be found notice OF the libel
must be published for nine months, then the testi-
mony is taken, and notice Of the taking OF that
Is flied In court, and notice must be published or
the application for decree of divorce. The
os m TING and
the newspapers and In the Legal Intelli9eace7.,
our official legal paper. In cases desertion the
decree cannot be made until t,rO gears after the
date OF the desert1On." 81 was In Philadelphia on
Saturday" continued Mr.. Ker, land saw Judge
Arnold, who granted the divorce in Nickerson,s
case. The judge does not think the criticisms
upon his action are just or fair. He says the at
torneys In the case are men OF honor and high
fhlf no fncf m
the papers filed were regular and in strict con-
forInity with lew; that divorce would have been
that court cannot guard against perjury and as
the case appeared before him. he had no alterna-
tive, but was In duty bound to make the decree.
He also says that II the decree WAS obtained by
fraud or perjury, the court has full power to re-
woke the decree, and punish whoever may be
found to have imposed upon the court You re-
member the judge was here in court In April. He
mas had large experience, and Is very careful
and conscientious gentleman"
