COURT FINDS DIVORCE
PLAINTIFF NOT WEDDED
Decision in Smith Case viii Affect
Suit Brought by the Keat-
ing Heirs

Judge Monroe of the superior court last
night decided for the defendant in the suit Of
Mrs. Minnie Smith for a divorce from
Isaiah Smith, holding that there had never
been a marriage ceremony performed and
that therefore no divorce could be granted.
The court held that nothing in the testi-
mony showed that Mrs. Smith, who is now
really Minnie Abbott in view of the judg-
ment. had ever gone through ceremony
with Smith.
The decision will affect the suit of the heirs
of the Heating estate against Smith for the
return of property he secured from Mrs. An
drew J. Keating, whom he had married sew
eral years ago. The heirs claimed that in
view of Smiths alleged marriage to Minnie
Abbott. he had no right to the property, but
in view of Judge Monroe's decision this con-
tention can hardly stand.

charges against the highway commits
sion, because he had not personally in
vestigated them, although a member
of the advisory committee. He further
stated that he would not serve on the
commission appointed to investigate
the charges, because he believes it
should be done by highway experts
alone.
There were rumors yesterday that
the resignation of H. NJ. Slemons, as
assistant engineer of the highway
commission. is a result of the highway
controversy. Mr.. Slemons, it is said,
insisted on better work being done by
the commission. When Mr.. Slemons'
resignation was presented to the board
of supervisors last Monday, it was
stated that it would take effect June
1. next, but at the offices of the COM
mission yesterday it was said that he
has already quit" and is not to be
found there. Mr. Slemons, at his homo
in Monrovia. yesterday, said he must
decline to make a statement concern
ing his retirement. 1t is reported, how
ever, that the recommendations he
made to expedite the work, and to
bring about better methods of road
construction, led to the friction which
caused him to retire.
