Sensational Testimony in the OAR
ling Divorce Suit.
Judge Kelly yesterday granted Julia
M. Darling an absolute divorce from
Hiram Darling and full possession OF
her property, amounting to about 81 800,
on the ground of cruelty. Some very
sensational testimony was introduced.
Hiram swore that Mrs. Darling was a
s"Tartar." He testified that she pol
soned her first husband and burned the
house he left her in order to get the in
Surance.
..Since our marriage" said Darling,
ssshe has made several attempts to
DiZen me. First of all she forged life
Insurance policy on my life and then at
tempted to put arsenic in my food, put
was ketched at it by the servant girl.
In preparation for my death she had my
grave clothes nailed in a box and con-
cealed under her bed"
The very idea of the weak woman who
sat there in the court room being guilty
of such hideOuS crimes caused many
smile. Darling is strong, robust fel-
low, without penny, and showed by
his own testimony that his wife would
derive no benefit by his death.
''He has been guilty." said Mrs.
Darling, ''of the greatest cruelty to me,
:sld have not words enough to describe
sSS various DEMONSTRATING me out OF
doors, brutality striking me, locking me
out in the cold, etc."
1t was developed that Darling would
have nothing to live on if his wife Sc
cured divorce, and he fought stub
bornly. Judge Kelly's humanity caused
him to severely roast Darling for his
persecution of the woman, and emphat-
Jcally decided that she should have all
Of her own property. Darling did not
get the half he had bargalned for.
