HUMOR mixed
WITH PATHOS
Husbands Love Was afamily Affair
But Divided Modern Io.hario
Sued for Divorce.
NAVARRO Case IS COMPROMISED.

There we're pathos and humor, tears
and laughter commingled in the tcsti-
mony offered in the Bjorkman divorce
case which was tried before Judge AM
bier Thursday afternoon. The tears
came when the wife, Maria Bjorkman,
recited how Ernest II. Bjorkman, her
husband had beaten her and subjected
her to the all kinds of indignities and
humiliations. The testimony showed
that two years ago Bjorkman made a
trip to Sweden, his native land, and
there got acquainted with Emma Berg
@ sister of his wife. According to his
admissions, he fell in love with her
and brought her to this country so
that when his wife died he could marry
the sister. He frequently told persons
with whom he talked that the Berg
woman was the only person he loved.
One woman testified that Bjorkman
admitted to her that they had occupied
the same stateroom in the ship to
America, for the reason that IL the
ship went down they could die in each
others arms. At this everyone in the
courtroom laughed with the exception
Of Judge Amber, who managed ic
maintain his dignity.
Mrs. Biorkman in her testimony
stated that she was the mother of nine
children, three of whom are living
One son Ernest, is in the navy
There had been comparative peace in
the family until the husband became
enamored OF the wofes sister, after
which he had been extremely cruel
striking and beating the plaintiff ;ant
subjecting her to humiliation of seeing
the affection which was due her lavish
ed upon another. The testimony show
ed that over year ago the defendant
went to Mineral Point and has remain
ed there practically ever since. GL'

ed with him. They lived al man and
wife. There were some threats Of hav
ing the woman arrested and she left
Mineral Point and her whereabouts arc
not known.
Judge Amber Stated at the conclu-
sion of the hearing that he would not
hesitate to grant a divorce upon the
grounds of unfaithfulness and extreme
cruelty which was of the grossest ma
ture. The matter was kept open until
some light can be thrown on the de-
fendant's financial condition, to deter
mine the amount of alimony.
Bjorkman is we'll known in Canton,
having lived here many years. He
was in the insurance and real estate
business. Attorney Dan w. Shelter
was counsel for the wife.
HUSBAND WAS UNFAITHFuL.
Eta M. Myers of Canton was grant
ed divorce by Judge Amber Thurs
day afternoon. The testimony of
number of persons was to effect that
the husband had let his wife and for
the last year or more mad been living
with woman by the name of Eliza
House. They lived together at Salem
and later at Mt. Union. At the latter
place their relations we're discovered
and they were ostracizcd by society
and threatened with arrest. Myers
employers discharged him and the two
then left that village. Mrs Houses
divorced husband who lives in Mahon-
ing county, was witness for Mrs.
Myers. He told something of the char
acter of his wife. Judge Amber asked
why the divorce had been granted, ard
House said that his wife had been in
the habit of leaving his home and keep
ing house for widowers. She had a
penchant for this. She would leave
him and be gone for months. He de-
scribed her as being a runabout.
Quite number of persons testified
as to the good character of the plain
! tiff and she was granted divorce up
on the ground Of infidelity. There was
J testimony proving that the husband
had beat and kicked his wife.
