hind closed doors durng the greater part
of the day yesterday. The defendant is
an "eye and ear specialist, and both he
and his wife are we'll known in this city.
large number of witnesses had been
subpoenaed and the corridors in tho VI
cinity of the court room presented an
animated appearance. Many of the wit.
nesses are mere children. and the fact
that the uoors were closed attracted more
attention to the case, perhaps, than its
merits deserved.
1t appears that the wife has brought
suit against her husband for divorce on
the grounds of cruelty and that he is not
as nice about his personal habits as she
desired. The husband filed a cross-com-
plant, alleging cruelty, consisting Of
harsh and brutal language, etc.
AS to the merits of the case, nothing
can DE stated. 1t is stated. however,
tn 1t the real cause for the bitter fight be-
tween the couple is tor the possession OF
the child, neither parent wishing to give
1t up. DIR. Hoy is also determined to
vind;cate himself from the charges pre-
ferred by the wife, and for this purpoes
has evidently subpoenaed all of his pa.
tients to give testimony in his behalf.
The trial of the case Will be resum ed
Monday.
