MRS. JENKS GETS A DIVORCE.
HER HUSBAND OFFERED NO DEFENCE!
THE CORPORATION COUNSEL OF BRooKLYN
CHARGED WITH FAILING TO SUPPORT
HIS WIFE, WHO WAS BISHOP
MTTLEJOHN'S DAUGHTER.

The news that divorce had been secured ~
the wife of Corporation Counsel jerks, of Brook.
lyn, in Newport, Il. L., was not surprising to those
familiar with the strained relations existing Ne
tween them for the last three or four years. Mrs.
jerks has made her home with her father. Bishop
Littejohn, at Garden City, since 1887, but she
gained a nominal residence in the last year at
Newport for the purpose of untying the marital
knot which had become distastefu to her.

Almet +. jerks. popular Yale graduate, and SON
of Grenville Tudor jerks, who was the most emf
nent Republican member of the bar of Brooklyn
of his time, and whose son bade fair to follow In
his fathers footsteps, was notable social oc-
currence about dozen years ago. The parties
to the marriage were well known in social circles
the Brooklyn Heights, and the fairest prospects
for life of happiness opened before them. The
wedding was in Grace Church But there was
a cloud upon the family circle after a time.
Finally reports Of serious disagreements between
husband and wife became rife, and Mrs jerks
returned to her fathers home in Garden City, to
which he had removed from Brooklyn after the
Stewart Cathedral completed. Mr.. jerks,
who had changed his politics and become Cor
poration Counsel Of Brooklyn under Democratic
Mayors, lived in flat-house in Montague-st for
time, but lattery has had rooms at the Brooklyn
Club
The allegation in the divorce proceedings was
that he neglected and refused TO provide for the
sustenance and comfort of his wife, anu She asked
absolute divorce with permission to resume her
maiden name of Maude +. Littlejohn. Under the
laws of Rhode Island tie cause sufficient and
the decree was granted Mr.. jerks interposed
no opposition One Of the witnesses for the
plaintiff Bishop Littlejohn, and another lior-
tense Z. Douglass.
Mrs. jerks is thirty-three years old Her
former husband is about thirty-eght years old.
lie has been Corporation Counsel OF Brooklyn for
nearly six years. Recently he was made Judge
Advocate General on Governor Hills staff, having
previously been Judge Advocate Of the Second
Brigade, in which Office he succeeded by Will
lam j. Gaynor Mr.. jerks is distantly related TO
Wendell Phillips and to DIR. K. ). Storrs. His
wife was Bishop Littlejohn's only daughter.
