and finally succeeded. She read the dis

The New York Divorce MIL


New York is q city of sensations. So
much IL this the truth that 1t Is almost
always Impossible to specify any par
ticular one as the latest sensation.
Strange events follow each other with
startling rapidity In the merry city Of
Gotham. But It is safe to say that of
all recent sensations none Is more re-
markable than that Of the divorce
frauds for which several people are
now under Indictment.
w. Waldo Maison appears to have
been the executive head Of this re-
markable conspiracy to subvert justice,
and Mr.. Maison did not lack competent
aid. From the confession of a member
Of the coterie It appears that it has
been very easy to obtain fraudulent d.
vorces in New York owing to the sys-
TEN in vogue of apportioning the cases
to various lawyers who acted as refer
ees. The scheme involved perjury,
subornation of perjury and forgery.
BY the use of bogus correspondent
evidence was easily adduced to sup
port the contentious Of the plaintiffs,
and there was nothing for the referee
to do but make favorable report.
The conspirators ran little chance Of
appearing twice before tbs. same ref
cree. and indeed the frauds were only
unearthcd by the fact that the same
stcnographer was given the task of re-
porting two cases in which Maison and
his associates figured.
The complications which will natu-
rally arise as a result of the many d.
vorces thus obtained are numerous.
Some OF the parties have. 1t Is said,
married again. 1t is not to be inferred
that in every instance the principals.
had knowledge Of the hoodwinking of
t. al>, : j, Y Y :, .1.-.-> -
people went to the divorce firm in per-
feet good faith. But this does not
mend matters to any great extent
OF course the main thing at present:
is to punish the guilty, but steps should
be taken at once to prevent any similar
|
frauds in the future The chief thing
advocated now is the appointment Of
| an official with functions similar to
those enjoyed by the queens proctor
in England. On such an officer Of the
court all papers and evidence connect
ed with divorce proceedings would
have to be served. He would then in
vestigate each case to ascertain If there
had been any fraud or collision. and.
as under the English law. no final de-
cree would be granted under SIX
months. 1t is understood that a bill
embodying substantially these provi-
sions will be introduced In the New
York legislature during the coming
session. E$
