sussEYs LATEST DECISION.


The Assistant Secretary of tine interior
Dseides Knosty Point.
WAsHIE0ToN, Oct. 20.--AssiEtant Sec
retaEy Bussey has reversed the action Of
the pension Office, which rejected the
claim Of Mollie III. Rich, widow Of John
IL Rich. widow of John NJ. Rich, late
Company ID, Independent battery, Penn
sylvania hight infantry. This is one OF
the most important decisions rendered
by Mr.. Bussey. The claim was rejected
by the pension Office on the ground that
the. claimant was not the lawful wife of
the soldier. IL appears from the evil
dence in the case that Rich was married
In Philrdelphia TO Matilda M. Batch
man, by whom he had two children,
and lived with her until 1871, when she
left him. Under promise of reforma-
ton they were united q second time, but
again she deserted him, telling him mt
the time 90 procure divorce. Rich
went south, but on the way consulted a
lawyer relative to getting divorce from
his wife, and while in Memphis, Tenn.
married the claimant. The first wife
also married Baptist clergyman 10
whom she explained that she had been
divorced from her first husband.
There In no record in evidence. how
ever, TINT the party secured divorce.
The assistant secretary In an elaborate
opinion discusses and quotes the various
decisions Of learned judges In cases
where marriage and divorce laws have
been decided. The status Of the appel
ant, he says, wigs created by the laws OF
the State Of Tennessee when she was
made the wife OF the soldier The ques-
tion, therefore, resolved itself into one
of presumption--whether or not the al
vorce had been secured.
Mr., Bussey holds that tho evidence In
the case does not warrant the depart
ment In changing the status Of the
claimant created by the record after
marriage TO the soldier; decides her to
be his lawful widow, and directs that
her case be adjudicated.
