The man,s name is Edwards. and he says

to pass forged checks.
: He began operations on Adolph Bruenn,

Edwards did this in q very mild way. lie

locked over half a dozen carefully, noting
their good points with great care. He ran

MarcoYich Free.
The divorce suit of J. j. MarcoVich
against Kate Marcovich was before Judge
Ogden yesterday. The husband was
granted a divorce and the custody of the
minor child, a daughter. Judge Ogden
refused to allow alimORy to the defen dant
because he considered the husband the
aggrieVrd party.
- This is a peculiarly sad case. Marco
vich is the proprietor of the Saddle Rock
restaurant, and when he married his wife,
"a very comely Irish woman. few years
since, the couple were happily mated
until the wife became slave TO drink.
During the past year. the husband tes-
titled yesterday. she had beeD found drunk
49, he a
gone there, and during the same time his
wife had frequently been arrested for
druak snness aud lodged in the City Pris- |
on. he had done everything in his power
to cure her OF the habit, and had offered to
take her 10 gold cnre establishment, but
she refused to go. She had been brought
before the Insanity Commissioners, aud
at that time promised Judge Greene that
she would quit drink, but had Dot kept her
promise.
She was not present in court. and her
lawyer, W. I. Aram, had no idea where
she was, but knew that she understood
that the case was set for this time He
asked q pOstponement until ne could see
her. but the attorney for the husband, Mr..
de Cola, opposed the motion and stated
that the husband had told him that Mrs.
Marcoyich knew of the case coming up,
but had stated that she would not be on
hand.
On this showing Judge Ogden pro-
eeeded TO take testimony, which was so
overwhelmingly against the wife that the
divorce was granted readily.
