THE CLARKE DIVORCE CASE.
a Report Tint the Suit Has Been
Com ID iseti,

Compromised.
PITTSBTRG, Pa, Aug. 31--Mrs James
King Clarke, who was the defendant in
the divorce trial here last April. which
resulted in a disagreement of the jury. has.
it is claimed, agreed TO settle for S28. coo
and all costs OF the trial. This would make
the total amount about $40, GEO After the
lapse of two years from the time they sep
aratsd. Mrs. Clarke is to bring suit for di-
vorce on the ground of desertion. and no
opposition viii be made by the young hus>
band
Mr.. Clarke is now supposed to be in the
East and the story OF the agreement came
from there through letters to Pfttsbrrp
friends. Harry L. Goehring, his attorney
refused TO affirm or deny the report.
The trial list of Common Pleas Court
No. q was sent TO the printer for tabula-
ton. The case of Clarke VS.. Clarke is not
on il. On the regular argument list. which
also went to the printer Wednesday, was
the rule which Mrs Clarke had issued or
the defendant to show why he should not
pay her costs. This is down to be argued
but the chances are that when it is reach
ed on the regular list, the attorneys will
announce to the court that they wish tba
rule discontinued and do not desire to ar
que it.
As the case stands now in the courts,
either the attorney for the plaintiff or the
respondent can have it placed upon the
issue docket by simply saying the word L,
the clerk OF No. 3 Court. But both coun-
sci have neglected 10 do this, despite the
fact that the jury disagreed at the first
trial. This apparent neglect in a case in,
volving so much is taken by May attor-
neys confirmation OF the stoT; about a
