DIES OF SHOCK.
Mrs. ellis Decree Set Aside
and Her Husband Given
Divorce After She
Had Married.

The death at New Rochelle. n. T., on
"Wednesday of Annetta S. Gill, wife Of.
Emlyn Gill of Orange. is attributed by
her friends to decision of the Court ef
Chancery against her in her husband'
suit for divorce.
Two days before the death occurred
Vice Chancellor Frederick w. Stevens
had signed decree setting aside d.
vorce secured in South Dakota by An
Meta S. Potts against Earl Clinton Potts
and granting a divorce 10 Earl Clinton
Potts from Annetta S. Potts on the st4-
tutory ground. EmIyn NJ. Gill was named
in the suit as correspondent.
The Pettses were married on April 25
1885, and soon thereafter took up their
residence in Cleveland street, Orangs
Two doors distant, on the corner OF
Cleveland and White streets. was the
residence of John Gill. later 4dayor OF
Orange, who has since died One of his
sons, Emlyn. became a friend of 1dr
Potts and frequently visited him at his
house. This continued until the summit r
of 1896, when stories came to Potts's ears
that caused him to order Gill from ms
house On July 30, 1885, Mrs. Potts left
Orange, and three months later Mr.. and
Mrs Potts signed articles of separation
under which the custody of their only
child, Clinton O1ney Potts, then seven
years old, was given to the father, who
agreed to pay Mrs. Potts 81 900 year
toward ner support. She was possessed
of independent means of her own.
No further proceedings were taken. but
early in 1897 Mrs Potts went to South
A. -J,o
secured a divorce on the ground of deser-
ton and extreme cruelty. The following
day she and Gill were married al Sioux
Falls They came to New York and lived
here, then went to Passaie, N. J., and
finally to New Rochelle
Mr.. Potts Immediately began proceed
ings to have the South Dakota divorce
set aside, and instituted proceedings for
a divorce, naming Gill as correspondent.
He alleged that the marriage was Illegal
because the divorce in South Dakota was
obtained by fraud and deceit, as Mrs
Potts, it was claimed. had no legal resi-
dence there and had kept the court in ig-
norance of the fact that she was living
apart from her husband under articles Of
separation. Mr.. Potts also claimed that
he had made no defence to the suit, as
legal notice of the suit had not been serv-
ed upon him.
On Monday last vice-chancellor Stew
ems signed a decree declaring the South
Dakota divorce null and void and order
ing a decree in favor of a divorce to
Potts on the claims set forth in his suit.
The order provided further that costs
should be levied against Mrs. Potts. I'm
der this decree it would have been neces-
sary for Mrs. Potts to have married Gill
again to establish her status as his law
full wife
The news that Mr.. POTTS had been sue
eessful in his suit brought on an attack
of heart disease which caused Mrs. GilPs

Attorney General VIII Be
Asked to Attack the Beef
Combine.
Especial to DThe Jersey city News.'')

{SpeCldl TO 1H6 sbefSey LILY @NCWS'
TRENTON, April 2S, 19a2-The retail
meat dealers are preparing to demand
that Governor Murphy instruct Attorney
General Thomas McCarter to bring pro-
ceedings against the concerns in the Beef
Trust The legal advisers OF the dealers
say there is sufficient existing law to
warrant such a move.
There is a precedent in the case OF
the ce-sbrated coal combine of 1892, when
the three large coal carrying corpora
tons combined and raised the price.
Attorney General Stockton instituted pro-
ceedings in Chancery and Chancellor Nc
Gil gave a decision which dissolved the
combine and the companies had to change
Their relations.
Efforts are being made to get all the
dealers to unite in the application. 1t
is claimed that while the beef concerns
are separate, they are practically under
one management. so far as raising the
price is concerned. Leading lawyers
say the Attorney General would have no
difficulty in making out a case against
the meat combine.
