of lis Marriage Failure?7' or rather, is
marriage brought about by matrimonial adj

him of L. e. Potteiger, charged with beat
ing his wife, formerly Mrs. Graffnller, of
Chicago. The parties are both German, and
both very respectable people. Mrs Graft
miller, a widow, desired to marry again, and
advertised in a paper to that effect. MI
Potteiger. who resided in Reading, Pa, saw
the advertisement. answered it, and after a
brief correspondence Mrs. Graffmiller Welt
to Reading and married him. After their
marriage they settled in Augusta county.
MI. Potteiger, a very short. stout man,
with long red beard, thin red hair, appar-
emily about fifty-fve, and wearing steel
trimmed spectacles, sat before the judge and
claimed that his wife beat him with roll
ing pin, and his counsel, Messrs. Curry &
Blease, made every effort to sustain that
claim. The old gentleman was a peppery
witness Oh the stand
Mrs. Potteiger, well dressed in black
dress covered with black netting, and wear
ing black hat with flowers, and also wear
ing glasses, sat there claiming that her hus-
band beat her cruelty, and she had doctor
and her daughter, Miss N ora GrafmiIIer, to
assist in proving her claim. She appeared
to be along in the early forties in age. had
light hair, and was able to take care of her
self on the witness stand. In this art her
nice looking daughter Nora showed she
was postmaster, and not only took care
of herself, but Of the opposing counsel as
well.
It seemed to be the old story of two pep
perry tempered, middle-aged people who had
gotten married and did not know how to
make the best Of the unlucky situation.
The jury finally settled the matter by
bringing in a verdict of mot guilty"
