A Wide Difference Of Opinion.

There appeared to tie wide difference
of opinion between counsel in a divorce
ca,e that.was on the calendar of the Ap-
pellate Court for trial today. One lawyer
said be was told by his client that she
was going away to attend tho funeral OF
her sister In some Massachusetts town.
In this case the woman wes the respond
ent In divorce suit brought by her hus-
band. The lattsr's counsel said the resi
reason for the womans' non appearance
In court was that she had black eye
which she obtained in q street trawl and
counsel stated be could prove the women
had bad character and was not much
given to spending money in going TO
funerals outside the State. Several police
omters from Olneyville were In court to
testify against the woman. Counsel for
the wife asked for delay, but the other
counsel claimed 1t cost him s1S for wit
ness fees. The court did not think there
was good reason for ordering the case to
be delayed, but counsel fin ally agreed to
do so.
