isfsd That the People should Kaow
It-Eariey Case Carried over.
The session OF the Superior Court this
morning made It manifest that J. Ell.
ward Addloks has no desire to conceal
from the public anything relative to
the divorce proceedings instituted
against him by bis wife
Mr. Hilles, attorney for Mrs Addicks, on
the contrary, showed a decided aversion
to publicity, and attempted to have even
an Argument on q ruls to show
cause why Mrs. Addicks should not
tile q bill OF particulars made private
Hla plea was that he did not want to
have the private affairs of the respondent
made public property. Mr.. Ward
showed no disposition to avail himself OF
this unnatural solicItude Ia behalf OF his
client. and the court held the matter up
for Advlsemsnt
When the matter was called up
Herbert II. Wsri and George Lodge
we're present In behalf OF Mr.. Addioks.
Mr.. Hlllss appeared for the wife.
There was no spRrrlng for points.
Messrs Ward and Lodge knew what they
had come for and they proceeded to the
work Of getting IL Mr.. Ward read
the zfidavit OF the respondent In
which he denied all intimacy Of crimi-
nal nature with Mrs Ida Carr Wilson.
and asked that his wife be compelled to
file bill Of particulars more specifically
setting forth her charges against him
Mr. Ward then made the formal
motion for 3 rule to show cause why
suoh bill should nos be filed.
Mr. Hillss replied that Mrs. Addlcks
did not Wish TO waive any objections she
might have the right TO make or take.
The filing OF such a bill was un-
known to the practice OF the
courts Of Delaware although it had
crept into. the practice OF some other
states He would like to Nrguu the
matter of the issuance OF such g rule
either at that time or before the court
should pass upon it.
The court fixed next Monday morning
as the tlme for the hearing
Then it was that Mr.. HllIes made his
magnanimous oHsr to have the press and
public excluded from tha public
court In order to save the
feelings Of the man whom he Is try
ing to relieve Of wife. Mr. Ward would
ros agree to IL aud the mat
ter WAS left to the courts
discretion There seemed 10 be Z
diversity OF opinion on the bench as te
whether the public could be excluded
from the public's conrt and Chiei

ssmlt that there would be nothing oil
the argument Of the motion which woulC
bs calculated TO corrupt the morals O
the Psopla at large, but as th,
matter Of expenses and alimony woulC
come up, Mr.. Addicks might not wan

cusssd.
Mr.. Ward ran his hand down Ia hI
