was heard by Judge Amber. The
husband and one other witness testi
fed that the wife had left her hus-
band and they saw her living in a
house of doubtful character in Cleve-
land. A number Of witnesses were
called who testified that Sweaney was
we'll behaved, industrious man, but
as it looked as though Sweaney had
known something of the character Of
the woman before he married her,
Judge Amber insisted that he should
be given some information with ref
erence to where Sweaney spent his
evenings and what kind of company
he kept. Attorney Jeffers had the case
in charge and will have an opportunity
to satisfy the court as to the character
of his client.

On the County's
De m a ndS.

The infirmary directors who visited
the Massillon state hospital Monday
got little satisfaction from Superin-
tendent Eyman. When they made a
formal tender of the insane in the in
firmary, Eyman stated that he could
not possibly take the inmates, as the
asylum was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity. There are six cottages in
course of construction at the asylum
grounds. two of which will be COM
pleted October /. When those are
completed. DR.. Eyman said, Stark
county could only expect to get her
quota admitted which would be very
small as no insane have been received
from Lorain and Mahoning counties
since the asylum has been built. Both
these counties are in this district, but
their insane have been sent to other
hospitals.
When the report was made to the
county commissioners Monday after
noon, they insisted that suit to COM
pei the state to take charge of the
insane would be brought.

One OF the most pathetic cases ever
brought to the attention of the county
commissioners was the appeal of Mrs
George Ammon. of Louisville, for the
release Of her husband from the Stark
county workhouse. He had been sent
up by Mayor Smith, of this city, for
the theft of two old bicycles, for 80
days and $50 and costs. He had almost
completed his time, but had the fine
and costs to work out. -

ask any of her friends to give her the

baby a year old. She had another child

four Cases UP FOR DECISION.

Judges Harter and Amber are throw
ing some obstacles in the way of Sc,
curing divorces by the free and easy
route. The courts In this county have
long been very particular in this mat
ter, but recently 1t appears that even
more stringent conditions have been
thrown about the securing of DEGREES.
During the last week or two
large number of divorce cases have
been either dismissed or continued for
further testimony, and this was the
fate of about every one that came up
for hearing Monday in both rooms.
The case of Catherine Remley
against p. e. Remley, from Massillon,
was called up for further hearing.
Several witnesses were called to SUBJ
tantiate what the wife and others had
testified to, but still Judge Harter was
not satisfied. Attorney John o. Gar
rett went out and corralled Gilbert N.
Porter, a colored man from Massillon,
aud added his testimony as to Mrs.
Remley's good character The case
was not satisfactory and was con-
tinued to give opportunity to bring In
more witnesses.
ANOTHER CASE HELD OPEN.
Another Massillon case had the
same fate. 1t was that of Florence l.
Dickerhoof against William H. Dick
erhoof. The wife testified that her
husband had treated her cruelty, had
struck her frequently and failed to
provide for her. A 15-year-old step
daughter corroborated the mothers
story. Some of the witnesses were
dead, others had left the country and
Judge Harter stated that he would
not dismiss the case but would hold it
open for additional testimony. James
j. Grant is attorney for the wife.
In court room No. the divorce
cases which came up went the same
way. That of Charlotte Cherrie against
Anthony Cherrie was heard. The par
ties live in Canton. The wife and
others testified that the husband had
been cruel and grossly negligent OF his
duties as husband. A number of
witnesses testified as to the good
character of the woman, but Judge
Amber was inclined to think there
was an element of uncertainty about
the case and demanded more proof,
which Attorney w. o. Werntz prom
ised should be forthcoming.
