SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July 49,
Judge Smith is about as angry a man
as can be found in the Northwest, for
ne has been imposed upon. AS a result
the divorce of Emery Lattanner has
been set aside. The divorce was Sc
cured at Yankton upon forged papers
and false testimony.
Lattanner was cashier of a bank at
Bryan, o., and a member of the village
council. Records at Yankton show that
ON the 9Th of December a complaint
was served on Mrs. Lattanner asking
Tor divorce on the ground of deser-
ton. Papers are on file showing that
the wife had accepted service over her
own signature, and admitted the allie
cations in the complaint. On the 18th
OF February, Lattanner appeared be-
tore Judge Smith with his attorney,
Joe Kirby, Of Sioux Falls, the defen-
dant being represented by other Sioux
Falls attorneys. The decree was grant
ed upon showing of the alleged facts,
and testimony of w. H. Vohrees, of
Bryan, who substantiated the COM
plant The defendant having admitted
the charges, there was nothing for the
court to do but grant the divorce in
regular form.
1t is now alleged that the acceptance

and that there is evidence of a con-
sp1racy that must have been partici-
pated in by more than one person. His
wife had no knowledge that he con-
templated getting a divorce. On his
return to Bryan late in February from
South Dakota, he telegraphed his wife
to meet him in Chicago and spent a
week with her there, Notwithstanding
that he had been divorced only a few
days before.
Subsequently he left ostersibly to
attend the Inauguration of President
Mckinley, but really to go to Toronto.
where, two weeks after he obtained his
divorce, he married a woman of that
city and took her East with him. all
without the knowledge of his wife
she still being in ignorance of the South
Dakota divorce.
The last of March he came back to
Bryan, resumed marital relations with
his wife, and removed her to Cleveland.
where he had secured a position in a
bank. There he persuaded her to sign
deed transferring to him all his prop
erty, and then abandoned her and her
two little children without a dollar.
Mrs. Lattanner, heart-broken, hunted
up an old friend of the family, borrow
ed enough money to pay her railroad
fare, and returned to Bryan. Upon
reaching Bryan she was not long in
in more ways than one. She was left
absolutely penniless. Not only had
their home been decided away under a
misapprehensiOn on her part, but SILL
coo life insurance. which he carried
had been transferred to the bank.

NATIONAL PRISON LAW.
One Needed to Prevent Competition
by Convict Labor.

To the Editor of the Globe
l have just returned from a business trip
throughout the Eastern and Western states.
beg to say that one of the worst features
of business being very dull is owing to the
fact that our prisons are in the hands OF
contractors, or are manufacturing their out
put and selling same to such contractors at
prices which do not yield profit on the ma
terial used, but, instead OF this show con-
siderable loss. 1t seems to me that our legis-
lators and representatives should certainly
get together and stop all this kind OF work,
and that the policy Of taking of prisons
shold be supervised by our national govern
ment under a national law.
The question has been asked what to do
with these prisoners. wish to say that ali
these prisoners could be put at hand work,
removing all labor-saving machinery from
such prisons, and each state should con-
sumo what these prisons make for the pub
lie charities, etc, which belong to the state,
would suggest that all these prisoners be
put to breaking stone; that each county
should receive for its taxes the amount of
broken stone which it is entitled to; that
the same should be distributed throughout
the highways; and that the roads should be
built from one end of the United States to
the other, with tributary branches connect
ing all the cities towns and villages. The
state could then employ people or have these
different convicts placed upon the roads and
keep the same in repair and by this means
not Interfere with outside labor
When you consider that the number of
people who are in prisons could be utilized in
InlS manner instead or manufacturing goods
which comes in competition with free labor,
| beg to say that there would be throughout
this country fully 100000 per week paid to
the different people who could find work in
different factories which could be started up.
and diHenent branches of trade which today
lie dormant, owing to the fact of this severe
competition. If we only think of the number
of men and women who could be employed
and who today are suffering for the wants
and necessities of life it would seem a char
ity to have our Legislators take this matter
up and effect a settlement of this question
Immediately. If our labor organizations would
give this matter their attention they would
secure relief for numbers of people who are
idle. and unable in any way to get. the
necessities of life for themselves and their
families.
think If the press would take hold of this
matter IN the proper way, and bring it to an
issue and would make it a ma: ional question,
that undou5ted results would be achieved
and this business depression would be dis
continued to some little effect whereas, as
it is today, we hardly know when it VIII ever
stop.
l trust the matter will be fully considered,
and that some results can be obtained
through this method of procedure and hasten
slight return of prosperity we are badly in
need of. Reader
