Divorce Evil In
GEORGIA ALARMING

Atlanta, Ga.-An appeal for stricter
divorce laws in Georgia will be made
by Judge W. D. Ellis, of the Fulton
county superior court, before the gen.
eral judiciary committee of the leg
islature.
Judge Ellis considers the growth of
the divorce evil in Georgia, and pal-
ticularly in that territory where he
has Jurisdiction, so alarming as to call
FOR new laws. He made the staten ent
to the Jury in his court yesterday
morning just before the court adjourn
ed for the week. Both the judge and
the jury had just completed the July
divorce calendar on which there were
seventy undefended cases.
Judge Ellis believes that the essential
weakness of the present law is that it
permits verdicts in undefended cases
on uncorroborated testimony, either
tee husband or wife. He thinks if
corroborating testimony were requir-
ed, the evil would be greatly ameliorat-
ed and the number of divorces made
less.
