JUDGE RfUN|TES
UNHAPPY COUPLE
Secures Work for Husband and
Succeeds in Effecting Recon-
Citation Between Pair
Policeman Charges Wife With
Threatening TO Cut Heart
Out and Asks Divorce

The odd conception some people have
Of the facility with which divorces are
obtsinable was illustrated yesterday
when GustaVe Lentz and his wife
Mary interviewed Judge Graham and
told him they wished TO have the mar
riage knot severed. No action had been
minds of filing one. They believed all
they had 10 DO was to tell @their
troubles TO the Judge and he would
grant divorce right off the reel.
Mrs LentZ carried a 3 year old baby
in her arms. The judge talked to
them about the child and urged them
10 forget their differences. Mrs. Lentz'
only charge against her husband was
that he sometimes became intoxicated.
Ientz complained that his wife nagged
him when he failed to get work. Judge
Graham took a cue from this griev-
ance and Immediately offered to get
Lentz a job if they should become
reconciled Upon this offer they kissed
and made up. Later in the day the
Judge communicated with a foreman
of the Home telephone company and
secured employment for Lentz as a
laborcr.
Frederick Holmes Cook. q policeman,
sued Florence Ethel Cook for divorce
yesterday on the ground of cruelty.
JTc charged his wife with threatening
10 cut his heart out with misapplying
funds given her for household eN-
peuses and with telling him that
every cop is a bum"
other suits for divorce filed yester-
day were: Arthur u. Stevens against
Dora r. Stevens desertion; Mary T.
Reed against Harry c. Reed, cruelty.
