HOW HE SECURED A DIVORCE.
! PARIS, Nov. 16.--The Marquis
de Naive, who was acquitted few
days ago Of the charge of murder
o. his step-son, the illegltimate
son of his wife, has been convicted
at st. Armand on charges OF cruel
ty to his wife and children and
sentenced to six months imprison.
ment and to pay fine of 200 francs.
Inasmuch as he has been in prison
sixteen months awaiting trial on
the murder charge, he will not
have to serve the six months SEN
tence imposed on him today. AT.
ter his sentence and the payment
of the fine, he was liberated. Under
the French law the operation of to-
days sentence is equivalent to a
decree Of divorce, and the Marquis
will have the custody of the child
rem. The charge of murder pre-
ferred against the Marquis was
due to the fact that his wife de.
nounced him to the authorities.
The crime, however, could not be
proved against him. Three of the
principal witnesses died some time
before the Marquise accused her
husband of killing her son, who
was born before her marriage to
the Marquis.
