Either cruelty or desertion forms th'
ground upon which the divorce ap
plication is based in nearly every case
| ifaithfulness is alleged in only tw,
Ease. The testimony at the hearing:
| discloses little of the sensational or
der. He deserted her, or she deserted
| him. or he abused her and made i
| necessary for her to go back to hel
mother, is about the extent of the evi
dence. None of the respondents OPP
posed the divorce and only in one case
did a respondent take the trouble tC
avail himself of having it recorded
that he denied the allegations of the
| libellant.
Four of the fourteen couples were
Scranton parties who got married in
| Binghamton.
