He WILL NOT DIVORCE PERONS MARRIED.
IN ANOTHER STATE.
One Of the Justices of the Supreme Court, who is
as energetic IN the prosecution Of judicial work rs
he is careful in tho examination of divorce testi-
mony said on Friday that no would not sign any
decree OF divorce where the marriage OF the parties
was made in another State q No matter what tho
Code provides" he said " will not grant divorce
in such case. II they want 1t they mast go 10

made in another State and think that that State
ought 10 be asked TO pass upon the contracts made
under its own laws Let the person who wishes

live there until he has got his divorce If such was
the rule in this State the number Of divorces would
be much smaller than 1t is at present Then there
should 30 a stringent law TO prevent "a divorced

from passing law which would maze illegal such
marriages contracted In the future
