SHE is DEAF.
Yet Mr.. Adams Is Seek
Ing Divorce From Wife.
The Cnarge He Makes Is that
Of Extreme Cruelty.
s
Court Allowed the Defendant IS a
Week--Ihe Daughters Case.

Charles ii. I. Adams has begun divorce
proceedings against his wife, Ida adams,
on the ground of extreme cruelty. Mrs.
Adams is deaf and it requires one well
acquainted with her manner Of speaking
to understand her conversation. The
matter came before Judge Tillinghast In
the Appellate Court today on two
motions, one made by Mr.. Adams counsel
asking for the custody of q 14.year-old
girl and the other made 10y Mrs. Adams
counsel asking for an allowance pending
the settlement of the divorce petition.
Mr.. Adams did not object To a reason
able allowance TO his wife but he testified
that he did not think she took proper care
of their daughter, as he had seen the latter
fooling on the street with boys late In the
evening. When he demonstrated with
the young woman she was very saucy
aud told him he had nothing TO do with
her On cross examination Mr.. Adams
said he was railroad man and had been
arrested for non-support In answer 60
question by Judge Tillinghast Mr.
Adams said he left his wife because he
could not stand her cruel conduct He
said he never had any trouble making his
wife understand him and that she could
talk enough.
Mrs. Adams, tho mother of the peti-
tioner, thought her granddaughter did
not behave as she should on the street
and neglected her school.
Ida Adams, the daughter in question:
said she never was on the street, except
when with her sohoolmates or when going
on an errefnJ. She was questioned by
Judge Tillinghast as TO her conduct.
The next witness was Mrs. Adams the
respondent, and Clerk Blaisdell was a
bit puzzled at first, as to how TO admin
lister the oath but finally Miss Adams the
previous witness, was sworn as inter
prefer. 1t was trifie strange, but the
interpreter had to ask questions about her
own conduct of her mother, but the re-
plies were quickly and honestly given,
Mrs. Adams said that her daughter was
not on the street except after school and
when sent on errands. Witness had COM
plained to her mother-in-law that Ida
did not do tine housework.
Judge Tillinehbss~ n the young CIR
some good instructictP as TO how she
should treat her Gather and warned hel
to be careful of her conduct on the street.
His Honor was not disposed 60 take the
girl from the care of her mother so ht
continued the matter Of custody for two
weeks. An allowance Of - week was
granted Mrs. Adams.

Dentist 7 llInghast Wins Ills Case Against
HOothbv. ~. ss,,ssfz=,.7,

TIE following opinion was handed down
by the Appellate Court today: Warren
II. Tilinghast VS.. Willard NJ. Boothby:
Per curiam. This bill seeks To restrain
the defendant from violating the terms OF
his agreement by which he was employed
10 work for the complainant, as dentist,
with stipulation that he would not
after the termination of the contract,
either directly or indirectly carry on or
be employed or concerned in the practice
of dentistry in the county OF Providence,
Roade Island. p"
The ground urged upon demurrer to the
bill is that the restrictions are unreason-
able. It was decided In French vs..
Parker 16 II. l. 2l9 that such contract
was valid, though unlimited as to tmo; /;
and in Hcrreshoff Va. Boutaneao, II II. /.
3 and in Oakland vs. Garst Is X. j. 4S4
that the reasonablenoss of restriction
i'm "A contract is the test OF its validity.
There Is no manifest unreasonableness in
the contract before us, and hence there Is
no ground apparent in the bill upon
whicn can declare it TO he valid.
Tho demurrer is ovcrruled.
