Barber Raimo's Wife Claims She
Never Heard of Divorce.

For several mornings a neatly-attred
and tolerably proposing young woman
has been noticed In the lobby of the First
District Police Court. She held one or
two consultations with Justice Davis, and
apparently begged that he would keep the
matter secret. She declined to be inter-
viewed by several reporters, who caught
an inkliug of the fact that she had pre-
ferred a charge OF bigamy against some
body and that she demanded satisfaction.
This morning the matter came before
the Court. Detectives Mcbride and Me
Anally marched in with Pasquale Raimo,
a barber, whose establishment is located
at Montgomery aud Green streets.
When arraigned he drew from his
pockets a bundle of papers and handed
them to the Judge. They were papers of
a divorce granted him from the comnlaiu-
ant by Chancellor McGill In June, 1883.
"Why, / never heard anything ABOUT
this divorce, your Honor exclaimed tine
young woman.
The Justice carefully perused the pa
pers and turning to the woman, said
II can do nothing but discharge the
prisoner"
The woman's face turned all colors of
the rain bow, and biting her lips in vexa-
ton, she sprang to her feet and ex-
claimed
well. T'n have Justice. if l have to
spend every cent have in carrying the
matter TO higher court" Tnen turning
to the prisoner, and gesticulating wildly
with her parasol, she continued:-
"You villain, you. Yon've got the
stamp on your face. you villain, you.
But I'll get square with yeu, see If l
don't. Good afternoon, your Honor"
