AN UNUSUAL CASE
ATTORNEY REMOVED FROM s25,
600 DIVORCE CASE FOR A
PECULIAR REASON.

Fairfield, Feb. 12.- (Special) - In
the first opinion of the kind ever writ
ten in Iowa, Judge c. w. Vermilion of
Centerville yesterday afternoon de-
cided that Hon. Leroy A. Palmer Of
Mt. Pleasant should not act as coun-
sci for defendant in the divorce case
of Emma J. Wallack vs.. Marshall G.
Wallack, for a decree Of divorce and
alimony in the sum of $4,000. The
prominence of the two parties 10 the
case and the large amount of alimony
asked make it one Of the most unusu-
al ever heard in Fairfield and prob
ably in all the state.
The Palmer Incident.
The removal of Mr.. Palmer from the
case was without any dishonor to him.
In fact, Judge Vermilion in sustaining
the motion Of the plaintiff that this re-
moval be made, complimented Mr..
Palmer very highly for his frank and
clear statement of his position. The
plaintiff objected to his acting as
counsel for the defense for the reason
that he had previously defended Mrs.
Wallack when she was before the
commissioners Of insanity to prove
that her mind was deranged. In this
he was successful but in defending Mr..
Wallack, whose answer to his wife's
petition for divorce intimates that
some of her allegations result from
an insane state of mind, he would be
taking the other side of the case with
the advantage of having had Mrs. Wal
lacks entire confidence when acting
as her counsel.
Tried Part of Peacemaker.
The truth of the case seems to be
that Mr.. Palmer has tried to play the
part of the peacemaker between Mr.
and Mrs. Wallack. He has made re
peated efforts to bring them together
and adjust their family difficulties but
being unsuccessful in this he advised
them to seek the divorce court
Against his protest he was made trus
tee of the Wallack mitten factory BY
a mutual agreement between the hus
band and wife. In accordance with
Judge Vermilion's holding Mr.. Palmer
last evening retired from the case
The defense is now in the hands of E
F. Simmons of this city, the plaintiff
being represented by Grail & Grail al
so Of Fairfield.
Many Witnesses Summoned.
The examination Of the PLAINTIFFS
witnesses was begun this morning
There are seventy witnesses subpoena
ed in the case and it is attractins
