A HUSBAND WIG ABANDONED HIS WIFE TURN!
Ip HIST IN TIME

IP JUST IN TINE.
A Cincinnati telegram of the 10Th says !:
There was strange ending In divorce
suit in the Common Pleas Court to-day.
The testimony was taken last week before
Judge johnson. The suit had been brought
by Josephine Meyer against her husband,
Peter Meyer, on account OF neglect and
wilfu absence for more than three years.
The testimony was TO the effect that the
couple were married in this city and lived
together for ten months, when trouble arose
between them, and the husband, who was
only TWENTY-FIVE wears old, left his wife in
anger and enlisted III the army. His wife
followed him TO the recruiting Off
Ger and besought him not 10 so into
the army. and promised IL he would
only return TO their home she.wOuld un-
dertake to make their entire living herself.
He refused TO listen TO her, and dOnned the
blue and marched away. After almost five
years bad passed the poor wife, despairing
of ever seeing him again, brought suit for
divorce. In her testimony she said that he
sometimes ill-treated her, and on one occa-
sion choked her. When her child was
born there were birth-marks on its throat
like the prints OF hand. Mrs. Meyer is
unusually attractive, and attracted conside-
rable attention while in the court. To-
day Judge johnson was engaged in
deciding divorce cases, and, reach
ing that OF Meyer against Meyer,
related the facts above stated. He
then added that when the case was first
called in the June term application for
continuance was asked on the ground that
il time were given the defendant he would
appear in court in person. No faith was
placed in the promise, but the cont" "uance
was granted, and when the case was again
called the defendant failed to respond. On
Saturday after the testimony had been
taken the Court received a telegram from
| the defendant, dated San Antonio, Texas.
asking that the decision OF the case
| be held over until he could arrive
| In the city. Just as the Judge
| finished this sentence the door of the
courtroom burst open and sun-browned
man walked quietly in and up to the
/ Judges bench. 1t was Peter Meyer, who
had travelled day and night TO reach the
city, starting the moment he received his
discharge from the army on the Texas
frontier. The scene in the courtroom was
for few moments almost sensational. The
wife was not present, and had no know
ledge that Peter was on the way or had any
intention OF ever returning TO her. Quiet
having been restored, the Judge remarked
that he would await further procedure,
and young Meyer hurried of TO find his
long-deserted wife. Il intend to make it
all up with her." was his remark to a re-
porter as he ran down the courthouse
steOs.
