Cornelius Weaver, aged rs, hobbled
to the stand in Judge Murphys court.
Wednesday afternoon, and asked for
a divorce from his wife, Henrietta,
aged 81. He alleges that she left
their home in Nattawa, Mich, came
to Detroit. and opened rooming
house Of questionable character at No.

the saloon business at No. 3l3 Michi-
gan-ave. In partnership with Billy"
Ferguson, bartender, and II was al
legged that she and Ferguson lived to-
gether. Under REORGANIZATION the
old man admitted having been mixed
up In three divorce cases, and having
once settled breach of promise case,
but he professed to have forgotten a
charge OF semi-criminal nature
brought against him by woman.
Viewers testimony was corroborat-
ed by his daughter. Mrs. Lizzie Mar

anxious to testify against her mother.
She admitted going to Oklahoma and
obtaining a divorce there from her
first husband.
John Brown, touted as star wit

to his name, and deputy sheriff was
sent out to find him. The deputy re-
turned with John, but the latter was
in a state OF intoxication which made
II unwise to put him on the witness
stand. So Judge Murphy sent him over
to the Jail to straighten up.
Injuries sustained by her husband in
a fall from a haystack are alleged by
Mrs. Weaver TO be the cause OF her
domestic troubles. In the fall Weaver
was injured about the head, and was

Mrs. Weaver denied the testimony
of her husband and daughter that she
ran a questionable place at No. "a

spectacle. and that her daughter, Mrs.
Martin, who now testifies against her,
was one OF her most frequent visit
ors.
she brought her baby there for me
to care for dozens OF times while she
went to the theater and to do shop
ping: she never found any fault with
my place then" said the mother.
Referring to her daughters testi-
mony that she had spent $1,000 on a
trip to Oklahoma. Mrs. Weaver denied
spending anywhere near that amount,
and said she went upon being notified
Of the find OF life her daughter Mrs.
Martin, was leading. This reused Mrs.
Martin very much and she whispered
excitedly to her fathers attorney.
Mrs Weaver said that she inherited
$1.100. which she gave to her husband
to pay on a mortgage. and she has
never received cent In return. In
addition her husband collected rent
on property she owned for 20 years.

store manager, takes sides with her
mother She said she visited often at
No ga Broadway, and the character
OF the place then was above reproach.
The case was not finished when
