1874 Bisamists In Des Moines?

Des Moines, Aug. 3.-One hundred
and thirty-four men and women who
have their residences in Des Moines
may be bigamists.
This number of persons went
through the formality of procuring di-
vorces here, but because of negligence
or lack Of payment of attorneys fees
and court costs their DEGREES have
never been filed. Term after term the
cases remained on the calendar. The
judges announced they would demand
the filing of DEGREES in all cases set
tied. No DEGREES were filed, and the
cases involving these people were dis
missed. Under the law the signing OF
the decree by the judge does not com
plete the record. 1t must be filed and
recorded in the journal with the costs
paid. 1t has been custom In the past
for lawyers to hold up the DEGREES un-
til they have received their fees.
clients in many cases believe they are
divorced and think they are only beat
ing the attorney out of his fees. Others
may pay the lawyers and the lack OF
filing be neglected on the part of the
attorneys.
Since their hearing in equity court
and laboring under the delusion that
they are separated, many of the per.
sons have remarked.
