HER TESTIMONY DISTORTED.
Witness In the Courte Divorce Case
Not Correctly Interpreted.

Not Correctly Interpreted.
Judge Giegerich. Of the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, has reserved decision In the
suit brought by Peter Courte for an abb
solute divorce from Charlotte Courte.
The case came up for a hearing last
week. The plaintiff testified that his
wife ran away from him while they were
living In Chicago and came to this city
with another man.
After the case was adjourned Mrs.
Amanda Courte learned, so she alleges,
that her testimony had not been cor
rectly translated by the interpreter. An
Investigation was at once begun and II
was learned that the interpreter had
been selected from the crowd in the
corridor awaiting naturalization papers,
and that his knowledge OF either French
or English was not very good.
When these facts were laid before
Judge Giegerich, he ordered another sx-
animation. On her second examination
Mrs Courte added many material facts
to her testimony. With this new cyl
dence Judge Giegerich took all the
papers and reserved decision.
