court HOLDS SPIES
MARRIAGE Valid
Dentists Denial of Union With
Woman Doctor Is Dis
believed

Maria F. Spies, a practiclns physician
at 4051 Twentieth street, yesterday
won her action for the annulment of
her marriage with Gottlieb Spies, a
dentist. The suit was based on the al
legation that the defendant has a prior
wife living in Germany. This was ad-
mitted by Spies, but he denied that he
ever married Maria F. Spies, although
for more than 20 years they lived to-
gether as man and wife. He therefore
resisted her petition to have annulled
a marriage that he asserted had never
taken place. In his decision Judge
Graham said:
The question presented to this
court for its consideration is. Can q
man who has lived with a woman
time held her out to the world as
his wife, plead that his relations
with her were merely illicit and
meretricious? The question must
evidence is replete with admissions,
both oral and documentary, on the
part of defendant that the plaintiff
was his wife. Where a man has
lived with woman as man and
wife for nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury, as the evidence in this case
should estop him from denying
that fact. l am of opinion that the
marriage between the parties was
a, valid one and that the defendant
may not deny it. 1t is ordered that
the plaintin have judgment annul-
ling the marriage
Albert A. Camitz, insurance broker
who was granted a divorce by Judge
Cabaniss yesterday from Dorothea E.
Camitz, complained that his wife was
such an inordinate nagger that for
successive weeks he had been unable to
get wink of sleep before 5 o'clock in
the morning. He said his wife falsely
accused him of infidelity and frequently
threatened to commit suicide.
Suits for divorce were begun yester-
day by:
Myrtle E. Hicklin against George M
Hicklin, willful neglect.
Magdalena Sibiglia Pene against Gia-
como Pene, willful neglect.
