NEW DIVORCE RULING.
South Carolina Judge Would Not
Sustain an Indictment

Columbia. S. s.. June 29-For the first
time a court in this state has recognized
the validity of a divorce granted in an
other state. There is much speculation
as to whether the Supreme Court will sus-
tain the Circuit Court. In the Court of
General Sessions for Lexington John B.
Sharpe and Mrs. Maggie O'Brien were
indicted for adultery. The indictment
charged that John b. Sharpe and Gym
thia L. Sharpe were married in this state
in 1876; that some five or six years ago
the said Cynthia l.. Sharpe left the said
John b. Sharpe and removed to the state
of Utah; that some time after she left
this state John B. Sharpe removed to the
state of Georgia and became a citizen of
that state; that after Cynthia L. Sharpe
had become citizen OF the state of Utah
and had her domicile there. she institute
ed an action for divorce in the Fourth
Judicial Circuit of the county OF Utah.
state of Utah, against John B. Sharpe;
that said Sharpe was duly served with
process of said court and filed an answer
in said case; that said Judicial Court of
the state of Utah, after a full hearing OF
said case, pronounced a decree absolute
ly dissolving the marriage of said par
ties. and releasing them from all the OBJ
legations thereof; that since that time the
sold John b. Sharpe and Maggie . Brleh
had married in the state Of Georgia, and
about one year ago returned to Lexington
county. South Carolina, where they are
now living as man and wife" etc.
Counsel moved to quash the indictment
on the ground that the domicile of the
wife was shown to be in che state of
Utah and the court of that state could
have full jurisdiction because in such
case the wife could have separate dom
icie under the principles announced by
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of Cheever against Wilson,
and that the defendant having filed an
answer to the proceedings in that case.
the decision of the court of Utah was
binding on the court of this state, and
the defendant could not be convicted of
adultery.
Judge Klugh held with this view and
the indictment was quashed. Heretofore
persons marrying in this state, divorced
in another. remarrying and returning here
have never been recognized as legally
married.

DEAF MUTE AS A WITNESS.
An Expert in Finger Talk Couldn't
Interpret for Him.

Interpret Tor INN.
Columbia. S. c.. June 29.-The appear
ance of deaf mute as a material witness
for the state in d murder trial in this city
resulted in the temporary confusion Of the
court but the witness finally came out on
top and his evidence had much weight
with the jury and was chiefly responsible
for the verdict of manslaughter.
When the witness, who was a negro,
took the stand the state had an expert in
sign languages sworn az Interpreter But
the Interpreter was mystifed by tho first
futter of fingers and hands made by the
witness. lie tried TO talk TO the deaf
mute. but the man spoke a foreign Ian
guage, his signs and signals the inter
prefer had never seen before, and he was
forced 70 acknowledge to the court that
he could do nothing in this case.
The solicitor declared he had to have
the testimony Of the deaf mute. The op-
posing counsel did MOI see how il could be
obtained He objected to delay TO hunt
Tor another expert Counsel objected 10
the proposition of the state solicitor that
questions be put and answered in writing,
on the ground that the witness seemed 10
be a man of low intelligence, and, while
ne might comprehend the meaning of some
of the words, his answers might not be
complete and, thereby do injustice TO the
defendant. After considerable debating
the judge decided 10 make the queries in
writing and he would decide as TO the in
telligence of the answers This was found
TO work satisfactorily the witness display
ing marked a2tness and intelligence.
