fiocked 10 the divorce court. Monday
afternoon, to speak their little piece
and get their return ticket TO the land
OF single blessedness. Some of the
tales told of abuse and neglect were
difficult to reconcile with the gaudy
headgear and rustling silks OF the re-
lators. but the court, OF course, could
not take Official cogniZance OF these
purely extraneous matters. About A
dozen DEGREES were granted.
Judge Hosmer gave Mrs. Rose Pol
glase a divorce from DR.. William A.
Polglase. formerly superintendent o.
the Lapeer Home for the Feeble
Minded. on grounds of cruelty. DR..
Polglase did not oppose the applica-

Mrs. Polglase declared that another
woman, not mentioned by name. was
responsible for her domestic infelicity.
For the last two years" she said,
my husband has been devoted to an
other woman and frankly confessed It,
To me he has been Indifferent and
cold. and told me plainly that he did
not love me any more"
She also alleged that during those
two years the doctor rarely had spent
an evening home and sometimes had
remained away all night.
Compliments mother, Mrs. Mary z.
Blanchard. said the doctor had told
her that he hated his wife and would
stay out as much as he pleased.
DR.. Polglase, when seen later, char

often suspicious without just cause.
John Sass was one of the two men
who managed to- get a word In at
Mondays matinee, and he was given
a divorce from Rose Sass, whom he
married Aug. 20. 1899 The decree
was based largely on an incident OF
last January. Patrolman Charles
Busch testified to finding Mrs. Sass In
a st. Aubin-ave. residence with an
other man. Sass went along and said
to his wife, following his unexpected
entree, "Ah. Rosie, I've got you at
last"

rested In company with a young wo-
man after his wife had employed de-
tectives to shadow them, but the po-
lice court proceedings were not
pressed. Private Detective Albert w.
Taylor testified at the divorce trial
that he had tracked Vimr and wo.
man friend TO a Lafayette-ave. room
ing house and that he had seen the
pair In cafes and other public places.
The Vimrs were married in Prague in

In only one of the five cases called
before Judge Rohnert were the papers
wholly regular, ia Judge Rohnert's
judgment, and the hearing was &C
cordingly postponed until the attor-

she married seven years ago, had left
her a few months later without even
paying her board bill at her mothers
