HOLDS PRAYER BOOK
ABOVE HUMAN LAW
Mrs. .AIsip, of Chicago, Protests LustiIy
Against Being Divorced.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 27.-"This is my
law" said Mrs. Frances Alsip in
Judge Chetlain'sf court today, holding
aloft an Episcopal prayer book.
My church, permits no divorce
married this man in the sight of God,
and no human law shall divorce him
from me. If this court grants him a
decree I still will regard myself as his
wife and never shall marry again. !
will allow no decision of man to inter-
fere with my understanding of Gods
law"
The judge mentioned the two points
of law upon which the case hinges.
One is whether wife, who IS a Wlfe
in name only, and who lives under the
same roof with the husband, as Mrs
AIsip did for a time, is guilty OF deser-
ton The other is whether Mrs. Als1p
would be entitled to alimony II the de-
eision were against her.
Judge Chetlain's remark that Mrs
Alsip could appeal her case IL the de-
cision went against her led to beile1
that the courts ruling would be IN
favor of the husband.
IT cannot believe you will decide
against me- she said. If you DO
certainly will appeal to higher court
Desertion under the law must be Tor
cause, and a conspiracy to have me
declared insane was cause enough.
