On the ground he had not shown
sufficient cause for action, Neal Kirk
man was refused a divorce from
Blanche Kirkman in the Wayne cir
cult court this morning. Kirkman had
alleged cruel and inhuman treatment
by his wife. His only testimony was
to the effect his wife had spoken to
him rather harshly. The court held
that cruel and inhuman treatme Mt in
the light of the statutes refers to ply
: steal abuse or the application of words
that cause mental distress. The plain
tiff and his wife have been separate
for less than a year so the plaintiff
could not allege abandonment. On the
witness stand the plaintiff stated he
and his wife had entered into ar
agreement whereby it was understood
he should apply for divorce and she
would enter no contest. Mrs. Kirk
man was represented by an attorney
however.
