no STANDING N COURT
THEIR MARRIAGE IS VOID
Ms Plumley Asked for Alimony for the
Support Of Her Child. but tho
Court Would Not Enter
tain the Idea.

Judge Clancy decided yesterday that
q woman who had been betrayed int
marriage by q man who had another
lawful wife living could not compel
that a to support either herself or
her child. The question came up in
the divorce ease of c. Addison Piumley
against Mary f. Piumley. The plain
tin lives in Butte and the defendant
in the city Of Washington. He charged
her with desertion. She answered his
complaint and said that he had de-
serted her and their child. now 6 years
old. and alleged that he had never on
tributed anything to the support of
herself and child since the birth of the
latter. She also alleged that she dis
covered that Plumley had another wife
and a number of children living. and
then asked the court to compel Plum
ley to pay her alimony for the support
of his child. Attorney Thresher argued
hat the woman had pleaded herself out
Of court because. IL the plaintiff had
another wife living lei he married
the Washington woman. the latter
marriage was null n void and she
could ave no claim on him. ]. r..
Grice. who represented Mrs. Plumley.
argued the innocent child was entitled
to support II the mother was not.
Judge Clancy said. In ruling on the
matter. that Mrs. Plumley was oun
by her allegations. according to which
her marriage was void. and she there
fore had no standing i'm court. He also
talked about public morals and said
that IL the plaintiff had another wife
living, he would get no divorce in that
court.
