Amelia 8. Wittig was an applicant yes
terday for divorce from her husband,
Organist Carl j. Wittig, upon the
ground of malicious desertion. 1t ap-
peared that the couple were married in
June, 1879, and that almost Immediate
ly after wards Wittig deserted her, de-
claring that he had made a mistake In
tying himself down TO one woman. A
few months after wards he repented and
asked to be forgiven. Since then the
couple have lived apart. Judge Lud-
low said that this testimony failed to
make out q case of desertion. He did
not approve of divorces and would not
grant them, except where the law abso-
lutely compels him. The jury were
not disposed TO agree with the Judge,
and hesitated until he instructed the
crier 10 adjourn the court and take the
Jury out for the night. This brought
the recalcitrant iurymen into the fold,
aud q verdict was at once rendered in
accordance with the Judges instruc-
tions.
