OBTAINED
DIVORCE
BY FRAUD
DECREE IN wIEDERT CASE SET
ASIDE BY JUDGE BELL

A decree OF divorce obtained by
John Weidert in the superior court
last June. was set aside by Superior
Judge Bell. II having been proven
that weidert deceived his wife,
Amelia weldert. in regard 20 the
matter in a most shameful way.
Mrs. weidert is a German and can
understand only a few words Of
English. According to the evidence,
her husband secured a divorce from
her on trumped-up grounds by alb
soluteiy disappearing TO her the
nature OF the action. George Hess.
weidert's son-in-iaw, was also found
by Judge Hell to have taken a hand
in the plot TO defraud the woman OF
her rights.
Mrs. weidert's suit 20 have the
decree OF divorce set aside has been
on trial In Judge Bells court for
several days. The nature of the case
was such that II was held behind
closed doors.
las far as I can see" Judge BELL
said. I'm rendering MS decision in the
case. ''the awful treatment this
woman has received at the hands OF
her husband and HIS relatives is
simply the result OF their meanness
and penuriousness." He then went
ON 20 score the two men souudly for
the deception they had praetced.
Attorneys Richard Gowan and
Fred Burch were charged by Mrs.
weidert with completely, but Judge

mony which had been before him

Will Suffer Severe Defeat.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 11.-A battle
upon which the fate of this years. cam
paigu in Manchuria depends, seems
only a few days ahead. Adv1ces from
the front are meagre. All that is
positively known officially is that
General Kuropatkin is marching
against the enemy as II resolved to do
or die. According to official reports
Field Marshal Oyama, at the first
sign of General Kuropatkin taking
the offensive, began drawing in his
line and concentr ating upon fortified
positions north OF Lao Yang.
According to the latest reports,
which are contained in dispatch
from Mukden, the Japanese outposts
are being driven in along the lines.
The strategy of the forward movement
will be concealed as were the prepara-
tions for the advance, SO that all sur
mises as to where General Kuropat-
kin intends TO strike are mere guess
work.

quarters at Mukden today says the
land blockade at Port Arthur has been
