WIFE LOSES Her SUIT
AGAINST MAJOR ARMIES
No Receiver to Take Charge of Fair-
field to Secure Her Half
of Income.

justice Anderson yesterday decIineA
70 grant the petition OF Mrs. Mary
VINE Arnles asking for the appoint
snent OF receiver to take charge Of
the property or her husband, Major
George a. Armes. and TO distribute TO
her one-half of the income.
when the decision OF the court was
announced on this point of the contro-
Versy between Mrs. Armes and her
husband, the latter, by his counsel. Ed
ward H. Thomas. suggested to the
court that Major Armes enter into bond
IN the sum OF s1.20o as a guarantees to
pay 10 his wife her share OF the rents
from Fairfield.
Major Armes was called upon -
show cause why a receiver for tho
Fairfield property should not be an
pointed, as was asked by his wife.
In his answer TO the rule Major
Armes gave a brief review OF the trou.
bles which have sprung up between him
self and his wife since their marriage
last February.
In brief, he said his life would have
been one OF marital happiness had It
not been for the interference of hin
nother-in-law Mrs Mary E. Powell
with his family affairs. He said Mrs
Powell was the influence which induced
his wife 10 leave him and remain away.
Afhdayits of Mrs. ArmeS and her
mother, Mrs. Powell, in reply to the
statement made by Major Armes vera
offered in evidence yesterday in con.
nection with the consideration of the
question OF the appointment of a re-
ceiver. Justice Anderson decided the
subteet-matter was not relevant
Both Hrs Armes and her mother
deny that either of them induced Major
ArInes 70 part with an interest IN the
Fairfield property. On the contrary,
they say he did so Of his own volition,
in order to make settlement on his
wife.
Mrs. Armes further states that she
made complaint against the conduct Of
Major ArInes toward her while they
Were on their wedding trip If 1t was
not for her seif-respect and the good
name of her family she would have left
her husband Immediately after the trim
was over she declares
