Void IN This state.

Supreme Court Justice Groenbaum signed
yesterday n decree granting to Mrs. Anna
Ogden Pell divorce from Duncan c. pell,
The Pells were married at New Brighton.
Staten Island, in 1880. but separated four
years ago, when Pell, who is son OF the
late Col. Alexander C. Pell, went to Florida
and got divorce on tho ground of deser
ton. In October, 1909. he married Helen
Louise Gardner OF Boston, and they went
to Europe on their honeymoon. Before
sailing. however, Pell was served with
papers in his first wife's suit for divorce.
On legal advice she ignored the juHsdo-
ton OF the Florida courts over her and
contended that Pel was still her lawful
husband. She named Miss Gardner as
correspondent.
The suit was tried before referee, who
reported that the Florida decree was invalid
in this State and recommended that a
divorce be granted to Mrs. Pell. There
are two children Of the marriage. who are
given 10 the mother.
Justice Greenbsum, after reviewing the
circumstances under which the Florida
decree was obtained by Pell, holds that
il rs entitled to no faith or credit in this
STATE, Pell not having acquired q legal
residence in the Southern State, though
be purchased an estate there.

from the ground in dispute. Finally he
refused to sign the testimony he did give,
and a motion was made 10 strike out his

and required the hearing 70 proceed on

NOT Decloeo On 1iS CouTses
New York, May 9.-Nan Patterson's
future is still uncertain. Bail has been
provided for her, but District Attorney
Jerome has not yet decided what ac-
tion he will take in her case.
After a long conference with Mr..
Jerome and his assistant, Mr.. Rand.
Miss Patterson's counsel was compelled
to bear to the girl in the Tombs the
disappointing news that she may have
to remain in prison at least a week
longer.
The prisoner bore the announcement
with fortitude, although she had been
led to believe that she might be granted
her freedom this week
At least two bondsmen are said to be
ready to give bail in any reasonable
amount, and counsel for Miss Patterson
say the surety will be provided without
delay as soon as the district attorney
expresses a willingness to accept it.
