Peculiar Divorce Case.
Judge Taylor yesterday washed his hands
of Daupert VS.. Daupert by deciding that
he had no jurisdiction in the case. and
leaving the parties to settle their Difficult
ties between themselves without the inter
vention of the court. Last winter Fannie
filed suit for divorce In Room / for di-
vOrce from George III. Daupert. A bitter
fight ensued upon the complaint and cross
complaint. and upon o hearing of thu evil
dence Judge Taylor refused to grant either
party q divorce.
There was o three-year-old child, the
custody of which was claimed by both
parties. BY Agreements or the attorneys
the court granted custody of the child to
Mrs. Daupert. and ave the father per-
mission to visit il. In q few months the
father filed an affidavit that he was NAL
treated and abused when he went TO visit
the child, both by his wife and
her parents. The court then made
q second order, granting the father
the privilege of removing the child be-
tween specified hours, on certain days of
the week. Sept. Is Mr.. Daupert again ap-
peared in court with an affidavit alleging
that the child was not being properly
cared for by the mother, and that she
taught 1t to disrespect him.. He asked the
court, upon this showing. to modify it's
former ORDERS, and grant him sole aud alb
solute custody of the child. Mrs. Daupert
filed a counter-affidavit, denying the allie
cations of her husband. At this stage OF
the proceedings Daupert raised the point
of the Jurisdiction of the court. Judge
Taylor decided hat bis jurisdiction ended
with the refusal to grant the divorce, and
he made an order accordingly, and gave
judgment against Daupert for costs.
