DR.. Samuel B. Casey OF $40 Hancock street.

divorce suits he had ever tried. The wife

she became scrupulous and begged him to
have ceremony. Accordingly they we're mar

=" Yes My only explanation is that am

The lawyer for tho wife explained that Slack
was Christian Scientist who believed he had

the danger OF invasion by 1t was lessened. as
compared with tunnel, It was not removed,
