sue for his death. There was pretty me 8.
The woman had married him knowing
that he had just been granted divorce
which left him free to marry again. But
the trouble was back of that Anderson
had no right to marry the second time, for

divorce was null and void, and the re-
moval OF his DISABILITIES was also null and
void. So he had no right to marry the
third time. Judge Clarke heard the areu.
ment, but reserved his decision on the mo.
ton for new trial.
