DISAPPOINTED HUSBANDS.
Two Alliance husbands cases into |
Judge McCarty's court Thursday morn
ing asking for divorces from their
spouces. Neither Of them got what they !
desired. The court heard their stories |
and then said he would think about |
the matter a few days before deciding !
what he would do.
The first case was that of John |
against Mary Leo. The husband said |
that since 1895 his wife had refused to
cohabit with him and that about
time, 1897 she had one
morning quietly left and never returned
to his home. The date of her leaving
was not three years ago, so the court |
could not grant the divorce on the |
ground of absence. The husband said
that for two years before she left they
had not cohabitated as man and wife,
although living in the same house. If
the court had been sure of this he prob
ably would not have hesitated to grant
the divorce, but he concluded to consid-
er the matter awhile before deciding.
Attorney Roach represented the plain
tin in the case and the wife made no
defense. The husband now lives at AL
lance, but at the time of the separation
lived in Wellsville, New York.
INFIDELITY ALLEGED.
The second case was that of Sherman
against Margaret Wolf. Attorney Car
lin, of Wayne county, who has settled
In Allinace to take up the practice ofJud
Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, and
was assisted by Mr.. Roach as a favor
to Mr.. Lewis, 1t being one of his law
suits. The plaintiff said that one year
ago last April his wife. and he had
agreed to part. He went away and she
sold the household goods and closed I'D
After that she lived no
more with him, but witnesses said that
sne has been living with one Burt PEN
mock at Marlboro and at the disorderly
house of an Alliance woman. Judge Nc J.
Carly said he would think about this
case also. He said that he was not
sure that the husband had a cause for
divorce. If he had staid with her and
lived with her probably she would not
nave gone to the bad the way witnesses
TESTIFY she has. In view of this fact.
the court wanted time to consider the
matter fully.
DECREE ENTERED.
