SAY 1T NEEDS AMENDMENT.
Sioux City Attorneys Call Attention tc
Repeated Violations of Law.

Attorneys at Sioux City have called
the attention Of the Journal to the fire.
quenJ violations Of the law there in
connection with divorce cases and sug-
gest the law should be amended. What
is true at Sioux City is also true here,
any many who have secured divorces
in the Wapello county court could
easily be found guilty Of penitentiary
offenses. The Journal says:
In Iowa as in most state defeated
party in a suit is given six months in
which to decide whether or not he or
she will appeal to the supreme court.
If the notice of appeal is filed on the
very last day of the sixth month after
the decision of the lower court is
given, the supreme court will have to
consider the merits Of the case. This
rule is good in divorce cases as In any
other forms of litigation.
There is always the chance that the
lower court has erred in It's decision,
and that ii the case were retired in
the supreme court it might be reversed
and sent back to the lower court. New
evidence might be secured in the sec
ond trial, which would put an entirely
new ligh. upon the case. The former
decision might be reversed and this
opinion sustained by the higher court
If in the meantime the one who Sc
cured the divorce were remarked he
could easily be shown as a bigamist
Persons who risk remarrying within
six months after securing divorce in
Iowa run the chance Of an Indictment
for this offense.
Other states have made precaution
for this. In Nebraska there is Law
which makes 1t impossible for di
vorced people to remarry until this
time for appeal has expired. This also
has to do with marriages out of the
state which are considered by the Ne
braska courts as fraud upon the Ne
braska laws.
