Tho divorce case of Albert S. Smith
against Clara Belle Smith was heard
by Judge w. Il. Scofield this morning
and developed some rather amusing
and unusual conditions Mrs Smith
was not present Smith claims his
wife was wasteful and extravagant and
that she had no control over their
children. He was soldier I'm the
Spanish American war and his three
children are now in the Soldiers Home
at &enla. Ohio.
An effort was made by the defense
TO develop that all the Smith family
troubles grew out of the alleged fact
that Mr.. Smith was a. devoted and
faithful member Of an organization
known as the Holy Rollers. II was
charged that Smith had attended meet
ings held in a little cabin ON North
Main street; that the organization was
of a rather limited membership and
that colored people belonged. The
defense endeavored to establish that
Smith had insisted on his wife join
ing the Holy Rollers and because she
refused TO do so he left her. Smith
denies all of this.
Smiths father who resides in Nor
row county is an important witness
but was not present an dthe court
but hear the remainder of the case
next Saturday.
