AN INTRICATE CASE
 IN THE CITY COURT
Rosa Marshall Sues for 5000
 on Life Insurance Policy
LAW POINTS INVOLVED
Plaintiff Claims She Was Lawful Wife of Seleg Marshall, and Bessie
 Marshall of Jerusalem AL
 leaes She Was His Wife.

In the first division of the City court Judge wilkerson has had before him most interesting and intricate law case, involving a novel point.
 Rosa Marshall sued the district grand lodge of the l. o. B. B. for 5000, due on a policy issued on the life of Seleg Mar shall, her alleged husband who died last year. The lodge impleaded one Bessie Marshall, who now resides in Jerusalem, as a claimant to the fund. and paid 5000 into court and asked the court. to have Bessie Marshall propound her claim to the fund,
 Bessie Marshall came in and alleged that she, and not Rosa Marshall, was the lawful wife of Sehg Marshall and as such, under the constitution and by laws of the order is entitled to the fund. the law of the order providing that the fund shall be paid to 'the widow, law fully such at the time of the members 8 death"
 Plaintiffs Answer.
 Rosa Marshall, the plaintiff in reply to this claim, makes two answers.
 First, she denies that Bessie Marshall is the widow, lawfully such at the time of the death" of the member
 Second. she says that during the life time of Selig Marshall he, by written in- strument designated Rosa Marshall by name and as bearing to him the relation of wife, as his beneficiary and that thereby she became entitled to the fund.
 The evidence without conflict shows that Bessie Marshall married Selig Mar shall in Russia some forty years ago and lived with him twenty years and bore him eleven children; that about twenty years ago Selig Marshall abandoned Bes- sic Marshall and came to America, and in 1890 married the plaintiff, Rosa Mar shall.
 No Evidence of Divorce.
 There was no evidence offered by Rosa Marshall that divorce was granted. and in the deposition of Bessie Marshall she testified that she had never obtained a divorce from Selig Marshall, and so far as she knew or heard, he had never ob- tained divorce from her
 The first question of law is whether the plaintiff having been designated by the insured as his beneficiary by name and as his wife, can recover even though she may not have been the widow law fully such at the time of the death"
 As to Burden of Proof.
 The second question is as to which of the parties has the burden of proving that divorce was or was not granted. The plaintiff contends that the claimant, Bessie Marshall, must show that no di- vorce was granted in that. in order to uphold the validity of marriage where either party is shown to have been prev iously married and his wife is living at the time of the second marriage, the law will presume, in the absence of all proof, that a divorce was granted, and cast on the party alleging the invalidty of the marriage the burden of proving 1t, al- though 1t may involve the proof of negative
 Judge Wilkerson has taken the case under advsement.
 M. M. Ullman of the firm of Denson &. Ullman, represented the plaintiffs and Banks & selheimer appeared for the claimant.

F.. Bridewell as the city tax collector-for J. J. Boggan has withdrawn and D. N. Williams, president of the Trades Coun- cil has withdrawn from the race, in favor of Captain Bridewell, who now has the en- dorsement of all the veterans and the different unions of this city. There is no candidate in this race that will be more acceptable to the citizens generally than Capt. H. F. Bridewell.

George Davis didn't know where he
was at in the Domingis Ferreira case
yesterday, when it was called up in the
Supreme Court. Ferreira is the
man who was released by Judge
Gear on habeas corpus, and afterwards

Judge Gear remanded the defendant,
though he allowed him to be at liberty
on bail. Davis took an appeal in the
case, but he had forgotten all about it,
and when the matter was called up
yesterday he became excited right
away, and wanted it postponed.
THE same question is involved in
this case as in the Osaki Mankichi
| case, which is now before the United
States Supreme Court, whether or not
the Territory can appeal from writ
of discharge by circuit judge. Mr..
E. P. Dole will go to washington in
March to present this, and may be I

Deputy Attorney General Catchcart.

order of the circuit Judge. ren1anding

Territory"

piled Davis, so completely squelched
that he didn't open his mouth again
during the session.
Cathcart objected to the case going
over, and Chief Justice Frear said it
would have to be taken up in the reg
ular order.
