AGAINST MRS. SANFORD.
Judge McAdam scores the Theatre
chi Managers Wife.

Judge McAdam. OF the Superior Court,
to-day denied the motion OF Mrs. Mary
ID. Sanford to set aside the decree OF
divorce which her husband, Walter s..
Sanford. the theatrical manager, Sc
cured against her
Mrs Sanford's motion was based upon
allegations that her husbands divorce
was secured by fraud and collision on
her part.
In his opinion Judge McAdam says in
part
III the testimony of the defendant
and of Mrs. Clark, her witness, is true,
a most scandalous fraud has been prac-
tised upon the Court for which all the
parties should be punished, as for a
fragrant contempt; indeed. the imposition
should he called to the attention Of the
Grand Jury. The charge is as bold and
brazen as any ever presented for the
consideration OF court.
1T certainly shows how lightly the
defendant regarded the sanCtlty of the
marriage relations, since for a small
pecuniary consideration she was will
ing to sacrifice everything womanly and
become a convicted a1ultress and a
divorced wife.
while solictous OF the welfare of her
child she was at the same moment en-
gagged in a wicked and malicious scheme
that would cast the shame of infamy
upon its mother"
