MARRIAGE TIE HAS
BECOME T|RESOME
DiERkoRT FINALLY BROUGHT TO
TRIAL FOR NoN.sUPPoRT.
Is Woman Citizen. Is Point Judge
Harter Is Not Quite Clear Upon
in This Case.

Callie M. Lewis of Canton has sued
LaBlanche w. Lewis for divorce.
They were married in 1901 and have
no children. The wife charges in her
affidavit that shortly after their mar
riage Lewis became abusive, quarrel
some and drunken, and that he would
swear at her and call her vile and in
decent names, charging her with be-
ing unchaste The petition states that
on September 4, 1902, while upon the
street, he struck her in the face with
his fist and then left her, and that
she has not seen him since, nor does
she know anything about his present
location. Attorney c. c. Upham is
counsel in the case.
NON-SUPPORT CASE.
The case of Ohio against Henry
Dierkort was placed on trial Wednes-
day before Judge Harter the charge
being non-support of two minor chill
dren. He was indicted by the last
grand jury. Dierkort had been twice
before arrested and on the last occa-
sion he went out TO make some ar
rangements for bond and failed to
come back. The children are 10 and
10 respectively. The wife is the
prosecuting witness. The two are not
living together: Attorney N. A. Ernst
is assisting the prosecutor and Attor-
ney Reinoehl appears for the defense.
is A WOMAN A CITIZEN?
Among the applicants for naturali-
zation papers yesterday was Cana
dian from Massillon who brought with
him a gentleman and lady to testify
TO the fact that they had known him
for five years. Judge Harter raised
the question as to the competency of
the woman to testify in the case and
the mater was postponed. The law re-
quires two witnesses who are citizens
of the country.
Inquiry at the probate Office reveal
ed the fact that on numerous occa-
sions women have been accepted as
competent witnesses when such papers
were taken out in that department of
the courts. 1t was held by Judge
Aungst that one need not be an cleo
tor to be a citizen. The parties are
from Massillon and are attendants at
the State hospital.
