TO WE'D,
50 De FUSCO
Gets DIVORCE

Today Judge Baker handed down his
decision on the rather singular petit
ton for a divorce brought by Carmine
De Fusco against Angelina De Fusco.
Decision is given the petitioner on the
ground that the marriage was obs
tained under duress.
Carmine was married by Judge Tan
ner at the county court. On the
witness stand a couple OF weeks ago
he told very peculiar story. which
was largely corroborated by good-a -ap-
pearing witnesses. According 70 petit
tioner the respondent set her cap for
him in the most conclusive style.
They boarded in the same block. He
asserted that TO all her Establishments
he remained cold and obdurate. One
night on returning home from work
he was met by the girls two brothers
and a sister-in- law. who told him he
must marry her.
After many threats he answered back
well IL he was forced TO do so he would
not live with her. He went to the city
hall with the two brothers and brothers.
in-law and the license was obtained. Later
the bride. her brothers and the brother
in-law went TO the county court house.
After Judge Tanner had married the cou-
pie De Fusco went 10 the block where
he boarded by one route. His partner OF
hve minutes returned by another route
with her brothers and brother-in-law.
De Fusco never spoke a word TO Mrs.
De Fusco after the ceremony. but con-
tinued living at the same boarding house
as previous TO his marriage. Mrs. De
Fusco after a few days left the neigh-
borhood.
A woman relative of De Fusco said the
girl had declared she would make him
marry her.
