Bayonne Women Crowd
Ghancery Chambers to
Hear Testimony il
Divorce Case.

/ A score of Bayonne women gathered IN
Chancery Chambers this morning and his
tened with interest to the testimony in
the divorce suit of Albert Koerner, q
travelling salesman, against his wife,
Sophie. an attractive young woman with
black hair and dark eyes.
The case has caused sensation n
Bayonne social circles, and it has also
aroused the gossips of certain section
of Greenville, where the alleged corre-
spondent resides.
The Koerners formerly lived at No. u

separated in November, 1902, but made
up again last January. On breaking
