The Court Of Appeals Amrms the
Judgment of Justice Barnard.

Judgment of Justice Barnard.
The Court Of Appeals yesterday affirmed
the Judgment of Justice Barnard, of the
Supreme Court of the District, granting
David NJ Ogden a divorce from Sarah J.
Ogden, to whom he was married in 1885,
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Mr.. Justice Shepard.
Proceedings for divorce were begun by
the complainant in February, 1898, and be-
cause Of the very unusual circumstances
which were developed attracted consider
able attention. The complainant asked for
!, divorce on the grounds of cruelty and that
the defendant, Sarah ]. Ogden, was at the
time of their marriage a married woman,
and that her husband was still living.
The testimony in the case also showed that
Mrs. Ogden was born in Ireland her maid
en- name being Gibson. In 1868, it was
stated, she was married to Henry j.
Hanna and then came to the United States.
Ten years later. in March. 1875, Mrs.
Hanna instituted proceedings for divorce
in the courts Of Montana, charging cruelty
as the ground. This suit, it was stated,
was dismissed, and in December of the
same year Mrs. Hanna again began pro-
ceedings for divorce in St. Louis. In her
petition she stated that she had resided
in the State of Missouri for a year or
more next preceding the institution of her
suit. The notice to Hanna of these pro-
ceedings, 1t was testified, was by publica
ton. He made no answer and Mrs. Hanna
was granted a divorce.
In the suit brought by Ogden 1t was con-
tended that Mrs. Ogden had not resided
in Missouri for s.aar or more next pre-
ceding the date she instituted proceedings
for divorce from Henry j. Hanna. and
that for that reason the decree was void
1t appeared. however, that Hanna ac-
copied the decree of the courts of st. Louis
as valid, for he afterward married. Mrs.
Hanna also married again, her second hus-
band being John Shea. Shea, however,
died before she contracted marriage with
Ogden. The latter. in his petition for di-
vorce, alleged that he did not know at the
time of his marriage to the defendant that
Hanna was still living.
After occupying the attention Of the local
courts for nearly two years. decree was
rendered in favor of the complainant,
David NJ. Ogden. Mrs. Ogden then took
an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the
District, with the result as stated above.

Probability That II VIII He Called

While the date has not been definitely
decided upon, it has been practically
agreed between District Attorney Ander
son and Fred Beall, counsel for James
Lanckton, that the latter will be called
to trial on November Il.
Lanckton is charged with the murder
of Mrs Bette Wrenn on March IL last. 1t
was expected that he would be put on
trial soon after the opening OF the octo-
bor term of court, but because one of his
attorneys withdrew from the case 1t be-
came necessary that the trial should be
postponed.

London, July 5-The oft repeated story Of the

realized that even Il the tragedy has not yet

help comes from unknown sources. Even the

to John Dillon, said the Government had no in
formation to the effect that Rear-AdmiraI
Kempr opposed the attack on the Taku forts on
the ground that Il would force the Chinese
regulars into an alliance with the Boxers.
Mr. Brodrick later announced that the Gov
ernnent was hourly expecting reply to g com
rnunication addressed 10 japan, and said the
Chinese Minister in London had been informed
that the authorities at Peking would be held
personally guilty OF any injuries sustained by
the Europeans and he had been requested to
convey this information TO have it reach
without fail the authorities at Pek1ng-
The purport Of this, said Mr.. Brodrick, will be
communicated 10 the various Viceroys
Continuing Mr. Brodrick said that Rear-Ad-
rniral Bruce had telegraphed that all the allied
Aduairals at Taku were working in perfect ac-
cord. and that the position Of the American
forces is identical with that Of the other Powers.

The AdmiraPs failure to mention anv race7+
occurrences at Taku, except to transmit casualty
lists, since he announced several days ago that
al sailors had been called back to the ships
leaving ashore only the military and marines
numbering about fourteen thousand, leads to
the inference that he knows OF nothing new to
report unless as the officials OF the Department
fear, there is great uncertainty about the trans
mission OF dispatches, and the Chinese operators
the line between Che-Foo and Shanghai are
neglecting to send messages. The officials Of the
War Department were disappointed to-day at
not having a dispatch from Colonel Liscurn
announcing his arrival with the 9th Infantry.
The regiment was due there yesterday. and
