DIDN'T GET DIVORCE.
The Husband is of Such
Highly Artistic Tenn
permanent.

Irwin w. Kelly, senior member
of the firm of Kelly & Williams,
wholesale druggists sundries, 90S
Broadway, Kansas City, Mo-, was
served Saturday with papers in di-
vorce proceedings brought by his
wife, Marie Kelly, at Louisiana,
Pike county, Mo. Mrs. Kelley
alleges desertion as the cause of
action. She asks for the custody
of their child, boy 2 years old,
aud also says her husband is worth
SIS, 900, of which amount she
asks a share.
The smiths the sequel to divorce
proceedings instituted by Kelly in
1903. The case attracted consid-
cradle attention because of the
standing of the litigants and be-
cause of the peculiar allegations of
Kelley. His grounds for suit were
that he was of a highly artistic
temperament, of nervous dispo-
sitiOn and that further life with
his wife would mean to him a
complete mental and physical col
lapse. Not because she was cruel to
him and did not perform the du-
ties of wife and mother in a
blameless manner, but because
their natures were different and
he was so highly and keenly strung
that what might seem to other
men a mere trifle was to him such
a serious matter as to cause him
sleepless nights and unfitness for
work.
The suit was tried before Judge
Gibson in Kansas City, who on
November 7, 1908, handed down
a decision refusing to grant the d.
vOrce.
Mrs. Kelly is the daughter OF
Frank Conrad of Louisiana, Mo-,
who is recognized as the wealthiest
citizen of that place, The trial
