News OF the Courts.

The divorce suit Of Laura E De Ruiter
against Derk De Ruiter went TO trial yes
teTday in Room 2, Superior Court The case
has been pending in Room for more than
a year. The troubles of the De Ruiters were
rehearsed in March, 1897, in divorce suit
tried by Judge McMaster, Of the Superior
Court. Mrs. De Ruiter brought the suit and
her husband filed a gross bill. After hear
ing the case Judge McMaster declined TO
grant a divorce.
In the present suit Mrs. De Ruiter alleges
cruel treatment. Among other things prop
erty interests are also involved in the suit.
The plaintiff seeks TO set aside convey
ance to certain real estate made by her hus-
band TO his daughter by former wife. The
daughter is Mrs. Eva G. Vanderworth. Mrs.
De Ruiter asserts that her husband and his
daughter conspired together TO defraud her
out OF her property rights. The real estate
involved in the suit is worth about s. I0O0.
Mrs De Ruiter is sister OF Mrs. John
Moore, who was the victim OF a tragedy
that took place little over a year ago.
Mrs. De Ruiter while on the witness stand
yesterday said that after divorce was re-
fused by Judge McMaster she had a con-
ference with De Ruiter at their home and

her kindly. However, they did not succeed
in adjusting their differences. The case was
not completed yesterday. Mrs. De Ruiter is
represented by Attorneys Harding & Hovey

law firm of Hawkins & Smith.
Yesterday morning Judge feathers heard

band for support. She told the court that
she and her husband were schoolmates and
were engaged for several years. In 1897
Miller lost his right arm in a railroad acci-
dent that happened at Lawrenceburg juno
ton. This was before their marriage. AS
soon as she heard of the accident she hur-
ried TO the side of her injured sweetheart
and assisted in bringing him TO this city. He
spent several weeks at one of the hospitals
and within few weeks after the accident
they were married. The plaintiff is the
daughter Of John NJ. Trindle, one of the
oldest passenger conductors in the employ
of the Vandalia Railroad Mrs. Miller said
that some time after their marriage her
husband procured a position in the switch
yards at GreenSburg. She says he drank Oc-
casionalLy and her life with him was not
happy One day her father received tele-
gram from Miller requesting him to come
TO Greensburg at once, as ''he could not tell
what might happen" The significance of
this telegram was not fully explained Con-
ductor Trindie went at once and brought
his daughter home.
