WIDOW PEMBER1ON WINS
English Appeal Court Sustains Her
Claim to $1,000 Year

Claim to $1,000 Year
London, Feb. 15-The appeal
court allowed today the appeal
of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Pember-
ton, an American woman, who
claims to be the widow of A. r.
Pemberton and who sued for a
jointure of $1,000 yearly out of
the Pemberton estates, in Cam
bridgeshire.
The court held that the decree
of the foreign court must not be
impeached on the ground of al
legged irregularity, and declared
the plaintiff entitled to the join
ture.
Mrs. Pemberton had been de-
vorced three times before she
married A. r. Pemberton in 1890.
Her claim to be Pemberton' s
widow and her claim for jointure
were resisted on the ground that
the decree of divorce secured in
Florida by her second husband,
Holmes Erwin, was invalid be-
cause only nine days elapsed be-
tween the issue and the return
of the process, whereas the rules
of the Florida court required ten
days to intervene. The lower
court upheld this contention and
declared that Erwin's divorce
was invalid and that, therefore,
the appellant was not Pember-
tons widow.

of as "Lord Pemberton," several

A. r. Pemberton died some six

Shot a Chicken Thief.

Edward Rawlings, who is appointed by
William Ruhlman to watch his hennery
at West Annapolis. reported to Mr.. Ruhl-
man that late last night he shot man
whom he supposed attempted to mischief.
The man, he stated, threw brick in the
window, which awakened him. He pro-
cured his shot gun and fired at the in
truder. who was sitting on the fence some
distance away. 1t is supposed the man
was shot in the leg and hobbled away in
this uncomfortable position before the
young man could capture him. He is
supposed to be negro. Mr.. Ruhlman.
il is understood. has been losing his
chickens for some time, and for this rea-
son employed watchman. It is thought
the application OF a load of buck shot
will have salutary effect and that hem
neries will not be disturbed, at least for
time. at West Annapolis or other sec
tons of Anne Arundel. II is thought by
throwing brick in the window. the in
tended robber wanted to know whether
or not the house was occupied, his sitting
on the fence indicating this as reason.
When he nurses his injured leg today he
will probably realize that there was some
body around last night.
