Confronted by a divorce docket number
ing lo1 cases, Judge Woodruff OF tho dis
trtct court bench assailed tho task before
him carly in the tenn, and devoted near
~ ali OF yesterday, It's second day, to con-
alteration of the stories of marital mis-
fits. he did enough othor business 10
make a respectable days work, but when
the day closed no had practically disposed
OF fourteen OF the divorce cases. There
was good grounds for the suspicion that
Judge Woodruff looked over the docket
and picked out the oasy ones for his first
essay In the tournament against Cupid, for
defaults were taken in all OF the cases
where DEGREES wero entered.
In these cases divorces were granted and
the dccrecs signed:
Lulu Murphy VS.. Charles Murphy; VIII

seven FuIIy Divorced.
X While twelve DEGREES were signed there
were only seven OF the couples fully
granted their freedom. A rule of the
courts, adopted several years, does not
permit divorce DEGREES to he entered upon
the records until all OF the costs in the
case have been paid The only evidence Of
the granting OF the divorces until the rec
ord is written up is the notation in pencil
on the judges dockets. In a number of
cases parties securing divorces have
neglected to see to this important part OF
the court transactions and have gone away
happy In the thought OF their freedom to
discover with great dsmay several months
or years afterward that they were still
undivorced. Seven of the plaintiffs yester-
day hurried into Clerk Browns office inn
mediately after the decree was granted and
paid all costs, anxiously inquiring IL there
might not be some other hidden danger
lurking in their pathway to freedom.
