Thomas Sample was today granted a di-
vOrce from his first wife, Mrs. s. o. Sam
pie Of Boston, by Judge Kelligar. This is
the second time the same couple have been
divorced. The former decree was issued
about a year ago and Sample soon after
wards married Mrs. Grace Rackley Of this
city. The decree was then set aside, making
Sample the husband of two wives. The
case came up for hearing yesterday to
determine whether the first decree should
have been granted or not, and the first
Mrs. Sample resisted her husbands effort
to secure release, Since the setting aside
of the decree Sample and his second wife
have been living apart, fearing a complaint
OF bigamy would be instituted against them.
The decree granted today slmplifes the
tangle considerably. and Sample and Mrs.
Rackley will now be married again, the
former marriage having been annuiled.
Judge Kelligar also disposed OF several
other important matters. In the motion
to quash tho Sparks case. which he had
under sdvisement. he overruled six Of the
points raised I'm the motion to quash and
sustained one. The point sustained, and
which makes the information defective,
