Progress of Lille Case.
The direct and cross-examination Of
Isaac p. West, sheriff of Butler county,
has occupied almost an entire day in
the trial Of the suit Of Lena NJ. Lille
against the Modern woodmen. Two new
features Of the case were limited at by the
attorneys for the plaintiff, in the cross
examination. when they asked him about
a Mrs. Alderman, who claimed TO have
seen a man answering the description OF
the alleged murderer. II seems that this
woman applied to the sheriff for permission
to see Mrs. Lille and was refused the
privilege.
Another new feature that promises in
teresting developments is the introduction
Of the lock and key from his back door
Of the Lille nome. The sheriff failed to
identify the key. which was shown him,
so II was not offered in evidence. Both
the key and lock have been left in the
custody OF the court reporter and are sup
posed TO be used by the plaintiff in re-
buttal. The key clearly shows marks on
the long end. bearing out the contention
OF the plaintiff that the robber who shot
Mrs, Lille opened the kitchen door by turn
ing the key with forceps from the outside.
New Point In Divorce Law.
The attempt of Valera AllenEpaeh to
prosecute an appeal in the supreme court in
her suit for divorce from Mark NJ. Coad,
has brought q new question to the atten-
ton of the court.
In cases where a divorce IS asked there is
usually no dispute regarding the validity
Of the original marriage. The court in
such cases usually grants temporary ali
mony. But in the Cosd case the defendant
denied a marriage and the district court
upheld the denial. Because OF this the ap-
p~lication for the temporary alimony for
the further prosecution OF the case has
no standing.
The supreme court is asked to order the
payment OF temporary slimony so that a
bill OF exceptions may be prepared and
filed. The supreme court, should IT grant
temporary slimony, would be acquiring
original Jurisdiction in the case. being
forced TO proceed on the assumption that
there was originally a marriage, an as
sumption exacteIy opposed TO the findings
OF the lower court.
