SENSATIONAL
DIVORCE TRIAL
]. At | ThORgAI0lg!'.l |! ! | \ | ! !!
Professor Sues for
Alienation Of
Wife Lone

MoRGANToWS. june s, Intense
interest has ben aroused by the filing
OF a declaration by one Of the best
known professors Of West Virginia
university against a student Of the col.
lege Of law. The charge against the
defendant IS the alienation Of the at-
fections OF the plaintiffs wife.
The plaintiff is a man Of middle
age, and OF retiring and studlous hab-
Its. The defendant is one Of the mem.
bers OF the fastest student set here
and a young fellow of wealth and a
leader in many Of the social gaieties.
The wife Of the plaintift is likewise
young and beautiful and for the past
two years has been one OF the most
popular young matrons in the social
life of our town.
1t is said the real purpose Of the
defendant in coming here two years
ago was not to study law, but to be
with and near his affinity, the wo-
man in the case. to whom he had
been afianced prior to her mar
riage to the professor. Since he
came here the two. the defendat u
and the wife of the plaintiff have been
much together and his obvious atten.
tion to her has caused much comment
and some gossip Of an unpleasant ma.
ture.
For a few days after the action was
brought friends of the parties in In
terest sought to suppress all knowi-
edge Of 1t and to effect a reconcilia-
tion between the husband and wife
and the withdrawal OF the suit These
efforts have been unsuccessful and
the case ls:to come ron for trial. The
case and the incidents leading up to 1t
are the chief topic Of conversation
among nearly all the people Of Nor
gantown.
II seems that Professor and Mrs.
Window have been wholly estranged
since last fall, at which time, as is we'll
known, she left his home and has
made her home with her mother. Mrs.
John Calhoun Pinckney on Spruce
street. Mrs, Windom's maid secretly
reported to Professor Window certain
|loyer-like scenes and actions which oc-
CURED while Mr.. Burke, the defendant,
and Mrs. Window were visiting in
washington in the winter Of 1909. 1t
is also said that a private detective
employed by the professor obtained in..
criminating evidence OF the conduct Of
the two while Mrs. Window visited.
her sister, Mrs. Congressman stuy-
yesant, at Newport, last summer,
1t now seems, however, that the
most convincing proof against the de.
fendant is d note which came into the
hands Of Professor Window last win
ter. This note Is startling inits aban.
don, and tits charged was written by
the wife to the defendant. The note
is as follows:
