written Tom regularly, but never
visited him, partly owing to her

chiefly because she had been un'

SEEK DIVORCE 3ss2
s:5s2s ON n FAD FE.
Husband Believes the \ certifica Of
Her Deceaseals Only
IA Scheme.

NEW YORK, Nov. S-What was
declared yesterday by attorneys to be
tie most remarkable divorce action
ever brought in any court will be
heard before Justice Blanchard of the
Supreme Court, next Wednesday,
when the suit of husband, who is
asking for divorce from his dead
wife. comes up for trial The suit is
that OF james G. Pettigrew; of NO. SO
Seventh avenue, against his wife, the
late Maude Mary Middleton Petit
grew
Though Attorney George Robinson,
of No. SO Nassau street, who repre-
sen1s the husband, has received in
formation that Mrs. Pettigrew is
dead, he will ask the court to grant
und efended and that the court has
no proof that the wife is not still 1iv-
ing.
The suit for divorce was begun by
James Pett1grew more than two years
ago, and for a year an effort was
made by private detectives and sub
poena servers to serve upon Mrs. Pet
tigrew the summons and complaint
in the action. They traced her from
place to place, but were always too
late. One night the subpoena server
followed her to restaurant and wait
ed outside for her. When he attempt
ed to serve the paper as she was 1eav-
ing the place the woman's escort held
off the subpoena server while she
jumped into cab and escaped. After
that experience she left the city and
went to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and it
was in that city she is said to have
died June S.
When Mrs. Pettigrew left the State
Lawyer Robinson. obtained an order
of the court to serve her by publica-
ton. and when, after the allotted
time. she did not file an answer to
the suit it was placed on the calendar
of unattended divorce actions. The
hearing has been set down for next
Wednesday
A few days ago Mr.. Pettigrew re-
ceived supposed transcript of the
certificate of his wife's death. This
transcript has not been properly GER
tilted and Pettigrew fears that it is
another plan of his wife to block the
divorce proceedings.
