Judge Cox yesterday granted divorce to
Miss Effie L. BirdsaIl from Dr. Charles
w Birdsall, at one time physician to the
poor at Georgetown. Dr. Birdsall made
no defense

at EImira.
The testimony OF Mrs Priscilla Mans
field and Miss Missouri Mansfield, mother
and sister OF the complainant, F. r. Rich
and Charles s. Lindsey shows that this was
done to effect separation and that Dr.
BlrdSall never intended again to live with
his wife. Mrs. Birdsall is allowed the use
of her maiden name.
Mrs. Sarah A Mockabee has been earn
ing a support for herself for nearly three
years, she says. and she wants her free
