ChARG[SCOLLUSION
IN The SHORB CASE
Attorney Nutting Informs Court
Young Man Should Be
Investigated
Refuses to Retire From Action
Though Asked by Client
to Do So

Bernardo Y. Shorb has abandoned his
efforts to prevent his wife. Elizabeth,
who left him after a few weeks OF
married life claiming he did not and
could not support her, from getting
a divorce. This was announced IN
Judge Graham's court yesterday, and
it was followed with an angry intima-
tion from Franklin p. Nutting, Shorp
attorney, that he believed the parties
were in collusion. Shorb has asked
Nutting to retire from the case, but
this Nutting refuses to do, alleging
that the collusion he charges should
be investigated.
Shorb at first showed every disposi-
tion to prevent his wife from obtaining
a divorce. He filed an answer to her
complaint stating that he was in a
| position to maintain her In circum-
stances BETTING her station in life.
His decision not to contest the suit is
very recent.
Attorney Perry of the Office of Lent
g. Humphreys, counsel for Mrs. Shorb,
raised the question of Shorbs letter to
his lawyer when the case was first
called yesterday. He said copy or
the letter had been sent by Shorb to
John J.. Barrett, who is associated with
counsel for Mrs. Shorb.
/ -Nuttng admitted having received a
tletter from his client, but claimed 1t
was his duty to appear for Shorb until
another attorney had been properly
substituted.
II received letter with the genuine
ness of which l am not satisfied" said
Nutting. II want to talk to my client,
Shorb I think there has been col
lusion between the parties, and it
should be investigated. The letter of
Shorb simply said that for personal
reasons he had decided not to contest
the case and wished me not to appear
for him."
Questioned by Judge Graham regard
ing the allegation of collusion, Nutting
said that from what Shorb and other
persons had told him Mrs. Shorb had
absolutely no ground for divorce.
The case went over till tomorrow for
trial.
The following divorces were granted
yesterday: By Judge Seawell-Ida e.
Peoples from Frank Peoples, convic-
tion of felony. By Judge Trout
William H. Atwood from Tillie NJ. At
wood, desertion.
New suits for divorce were filed by
William p. Levy against Matilda Levy,

Early Glove Styles

Among the. earliest forms of gloves
worn were those of the ancient Greeks
and Romans. The precise form they
wore is unknown. but records show
that they used some kind of protective
covering for the hands when doing
manual labor.
In the sixteenth century gloves We're
frequently embroidered with great
eiaborateness. and in the reign of
Charles II. when the style OF short
sleeves for women appeared, long
gloves reaching almost to the elbow
were brought in and worn by the lei
sure classes.
Nowadays glove makers readily re-
spond to the new demands. One of the
leading glove makers, known as one Of
the. most progressive Of the trade is
the Carson Glove Company. whose
high class articles are fast becoming
the most popular among careful
buyers.
