DIVORCE FOR mrs. CUDAHY
Kansas City Trial Occupies lust
Ten Minutes.
LILLIS AFFAIR RECALLED
But No Mention of It in Court
Financial Settlement Reached
Privately, It Is Said

Kansas City Mo, Aug. 23.-As sequel
to John p (.'Jack') Cudahy's attack with
knife on Jere &. Lills in the Cudahy
home shortly after midnight on March D,
Mrs. Ci1dahy obtained divorce to-day.
The decree was granted by Judge
James H. Slower, on the grounds of in
compata bility of temper, ten minutes
after Mrs Cudahy had filed her petition.
Mrs. Cudahy and her maid. Elizabeth
Johnson were the only witnesses. NO
mention was made of the LilIis affair.
Cudahy was not in court. He is said
to have been here yesterday. but ne could
not be found tonight. Attorneys rep
resented him at the hearing, but they
made no protest against the decree 1t
is said that General John c. Gown. of
Omaha. father of Mrs Cudahy. and
Michael Cudahy, the defendants father,
brought about an amicable settlement
outside of court.
BY the terms of the decree Mrs. Cud-
ahy receives aIimony of 81. Attorneys
for both sides refused to discuss the re-
port that a secret settlement had been
effected. A friend of Mrs. Cudahy said
that Michael Cudahy had agreed to pay
his sons wife 5000 the first year fol-
lowing her divorce and $1,000 each ensu-
ing year of her life, provided she re-
mained unmarried
Custody of the four Cudahy children
was given to Michael Cudahy and his
wife, Catharine. After their deaths Mary
Cudahy. an aunt OF the children, will
have charge of them. When she dies
Clara Cudahy. another aunt, will be-
come their guardian. Mrs. Cudahy has
the right to visit the children "at all
reasonable times and places and for
such periods as may be reasonable and
proper"
Mrs. Cudahy's bill was one Of the
shortest ever fled in this county. She
set forth that she was married TO Cud-
ahy on December "a, 1899, in Omaha,
and that he left her on March l, 1910,
without cause The children are Edna
Catharine, ten years old; Marie G., eight
years old: Anne Elizabeth. six years old,
and Michael, two and one-half years
old
ITO protect the children" was the rea-
son given by attorneys that no charge
other than incompatibility was made IN
the bill
Immediately after the decree had been
granted Mrs. Cudahy left Kansas city
for Chicago with her children to take
them 70 the home of their grandparents
It is said that she will make her home
in Kansas City.
The Cudahys have been before the
nublic ever since the story Of Cudahys s
attack on Lillis, banker and FORMER
personal friend, was published Cudany
and his chauffeur seized LIllls IN the
parlor of the packers home, bound
him, stripped off most of his clothes and
sIashed him so that he had to lie IN a
hospital for several days The attack
was stopped by a policeman. who was
called over the telephone by Mrs Cuda-
nv None of the principals in the AFFAIR
would talk about the case. Llllls Is SAID
TO live in New York City now.

Clifton roll who did not come to the
Cherokee Nation in time to qualify
under the treaty of 1866, and as a
matter Of right are not entitled to en-
rollment and that many of them came
to the Cherokee Nation as late as
1894 in an effort to share In the Cher
okee Strip payment and it has been
shown absolutely and conclusively by
testimony before the Dawes Commits
sion that a vast majority of these re-
jected freedmen on the Kern.Clifton
roll did not come to the Cherokee Ma
tion until after the year 1870, and it
would be unfortunate indeed il the
Kern-CIiton freedmen were finally en-.
rolled merely because they are on that
roll. II the supreme court of the Unit
ed States holds that the court has
Jurisdiction to try the case as to
whether the Kern-Clifton roll should
be confirmed or not then the case win
come before the court on its merits
as to whether that roll will be con.
flrmed or not SO this looks like the be-
ginning Of long drawn out law suit.
