INDEPENDENCE. Ras.. Nov. a.
In the district court here to-day a dl-
voree was granted to Rev. Wills Jor-
dan, pastor OF the Christian church at
Candy. from his wife, Ada Jordan. The
case appears on the docket under the
peculiar title OF Willis Jordan versus
Ada Miller, called ADA Jordan. Rev.
Jordan caused a sensation by publicly
denouncing his wife from the pulpit on
Sunday. He declared in his speech
that he had been vlctlmized by the bold
adventures with whom he had become
infatuated. He said he had married,
but had since found out that she was
at the time married to another; that he
had been deceived and would sue for
divorce.
