pocket The card was all right but
was made out to Henry Berry, and
Chief Lockart asked him what his
name was.
Frank Summers when under arrest,
but my right name is Ed Berry" was

Fitzgerald Moore, argued with Falvey
and Davis yesterday afternoon before
Judge Waltnall to set aside the divorce

that it was null and void. Messrs. Fall

that Moore assisted in getting the di-
vorce and at the time it was granted

another of the commissioners was not
present when the division was made.
