Vice Chancellor Pitney Hears
and Decides a Case in
Eighteen Minutes
This Morning.

Vice Chancellor Pitney's dislike to the
laws delays was exempliied this morn
ing in Chancery Chambers when in TWEEN
ty minutes he heard testimony in a di-
yorce suit and told the lawyer that he
would advise decree.
The suit before him was Michael
Dorany, wealthy cafe proprietor of
Passaic, who charged his wife, Mrs.
Margaretha Dorany, with misconduct
merchant of Providence, r. |. Although
Mrs. Dorany filed an answer to the bill
for divorce, denying the charges and un-
folding a remarkable set of charges
against her husband, she did not appear
in court nor was she represented by
counsel.
Dorany on the stand said that he and
Miss Margaretha Haniesak We're mar
ried in Passaic in 1893, and everything
was pleasant until 1900, when Moulson
visited the cafe on Third street, Passaie.
Moulson it appears paid court to the
fascinating Mrs. Dorany, took her for
drives, entertained her at dinners and
took her to the theatre. Although the
husband objected the wife continued
Moulson as her escort and finally eloped
with him to Providence, where they are
now living as man and wife.
MADE HER PLAY POOL.
That was the husbands story. In her
answer Mrs. Dorany fatty denies i'm
proper relations with Moulson and left
her husband because he neglected to pro-
vide for her and their son. Then Mrs
Dorany declares that her husband COM
PEELED her to play pool and billiards and
cards and gamble in the cafe with men
who frequented the place. She had also,
she swore. in her petition, to walk the
streets of Passaic at night and inyeigle
the gilded youth of the place to her hus-
bands saloon to open Wine and have
what some call good joyial time" She
objected, but her husband. so she said
told her she mustn't be prudish and pay
any attention to such things as propriety
and what other people thought the main
object, he said, was to get money, hon
estly if possible but get it.
MRS. RAY THE ATTRACTION.
Mrs. Dorany continued to relate that
her husband would repeatedly drive over
to Paterson to visit a Mrs. Ray. who
was connected with a "cheap variety
show" He escorted Mrs. Ray to the
show, dined and wined her and lavished
money on her which rightfully belonged
to Mrs. Dorany.
While Dorany was paying court to
Mrs Ray, his wife said she was obliged
to superintend the business at the Cafe.
but it was got true that she fiirted with
Mouison. When her husband returned
from his nocturnal trips to Paterson,
Mrs. Dorany's answer said. he was al
ways intoxicated, abused her and once
struck her. His conduct, she said, was
such that she was obliged to leave him
and seek employment in Providence.
Mrs. Dorany, in closing, swore that her
husbands charge that she had son of
which Moulson was the father, was alb
solutely false.
WhenDorany got through with his tes-
timony he produced two witnesses to
corroborate his charges of his wifes mis-
deeds and that closed the case. the Vice
Chancellor announcing that in few
days Dorany would have his decree.
Quick work." said Dorany's lawyer,
rubbinr his hands, while he hastened
with his client and the witnesses to the
nearest cafe to celebrate.
