man, who testified in the district court
to improper relations with Henry
Hogrefe, on trial charged with the
murder of his wife, alleging that he
wanted to marry her and threatened
to poison his wife, was concluded
shortly after noon. The character of
the evidence given by Mrs. Matt
caused the few women present at the
beginning of her testimony to hurry
out of the court room.
Following Mrs. Matz on the stand,

body of his wife was buried if Amelia

keep house for him.

dant's character and reputation were
good prior to May Is, 1910. Mrs. Fred

And Divorce Should be Easy. New

New York, Jan. 1.-THE New York
Society of Medica! Jurisprudence is
making a study of the divorce laws
in this country. 1t is likely its recon-
mendations will be for amendments
making divorce easier and marriage
more difficult, If report submitted to
it by Judge Alfred A. Ommon is adopt
ed.
The report characterizes the pres
ent marriage law of New York state
as disgrace to civilization, sin that
it quite fails to specify any restric-
ton as to the physical, mental and
moral state of the parties to the mar
riage contract, with the result that
the prisons, sanitariums and asylums
are crowded with living examples OF
the pernicious workings of the law"
The report continues:
"The proper way to mitigate the
evils of divorce Is to mitigate the
evils of our marriage laws. Under
proper marriage laws divorce would
not be the serious problem 1t is today.
There should be legislation provid-
ing for the publication of intent to
marry eight days before the date of
marriage, during which anyone who
objected and could show Just grounds
of impeachment to such marriage might
do SO. These grounds to be habitual

husbands treatment of her, submits
