DIVORCED AND DIDN'T KNOW IT.
The Case Of Mrs. King. Maison, Zerner and
Wilson Indicted.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated Press.)
New York, Nov. 12.-Another fraudulent
divorce case was brought to light in the
Supreme Court today. Although de-
cree in her favor appears upon the records
in the county clerks office, Mrs. Carrie
ID. King asserts that she never instituted
such proceedings and knows absolutely
nothing about the case, except that some
time ago she signed what she believed
to be separation papers in the office of
Attorney Maison.
Mrs. Kings story of the matter is that
she had trouble with her husband couple
of years ago and they separated. He
agreed to pay her So a week while they
were living apart. Some time last July
she and her husband were to go and see
a lawyer. He told her the lawyer would
draw up papers for her to sign which
would protect her in the matter of get
ting alimony.
Mrs. King says that the name of the
lawyer was Maison. When she got to
Maison's office he told her that he had
evidence against her husband on which
she could get divorce. He said that
he had been seen at a hotel with a
woman. Before she left the office Maison,
she said, induced her to sign a paper
which she believed to be a separation
agreement between herself and her hus-
band, whreby he was to pay her weekly
alimony.
The papers in the case show that few
days after Mrs. Kings visit to Maison s
office the application for the appointment
Of d referee TO hear testimony was made
to Justice Dugro In the papers Henry
Zermor appears as counsel for the plain
tiff.
careful investigation of the papers
show that the paper which Mrs. King
signed was an affidavit in which she was
made to appeal for a divorce, The grand
jury this evening devoted its session to
the investigation of the alleged divorce
mill operated by Maison. Indictments
have been found against Maison, Zermor
and Wilson
