The Grounds Upon which Divorce in
Two Cases Was Granted.
Justice James yesterday ran the divorce
mill long enough to turn out two com
pleted cases.
The first case was that OF Ida V. Slater
whose marriage with Samuel NJ. Slater was
dissolved and she given the custody and
control " their infant child. The papers
were filed by Mr.. A. X. Browne as solicitor
and showed that the parties were married
in this city in November, 1871, by Rev. a.
T.. Gibson, pastor Of the Foundry NJ. Il.
Church. They lived together for nine
years when he deserted saying, thatihe was
going to Denver to enter business and
would send for her and the children, but
since leaving here she has not seen or heard
from him. The second case was that OF
George Pitt for divorce from Amelia Pitt,
on the ground Of descrtlon. Mr.. j. Amber
Smith was the solicitor in the case. The
bill shows that the parties were married
August %, 1871, and that she subsequently
left him and has remained away UP TO the
present time

deserted her. In December, 1888, they
went to board at Youug's Hotel, in Boston,
where they remained a few weeks, when
she went TO Louisville at his request. She
remained there until June, 1884, and then
started back to Boston, her husband fur
