THE FILING OF THE DI-
VoRcB LIBEL,

(From Saturdays Advortiser)
"The Welsh divorce matter,u said
Attorney Lightfoot yesterday, "is one
with which have nothing Whatever to
do now. But last week Mrs. Welsh
came TO me, having been so referred by
Judge Humphreys, to whom she had
originally gone to have divorce libel
compiled and filed. Judge Humphreys,
! understand, after taking longhand
notes Of the allegations she preferred
against her husband. William Welsh,
felt that the case might be long drawn
out, and as his health - not the best
just now, he felt that the cnsc should
be taken up by some one else, and 30
referred her TO me.
Mrs Welsh went over the story Of
her wrongs and the cruoltos practisod
by her husband. ] took notes aB she
won't along, and I find that they agree
with those OF Judge Humphreys, al.
though ! believe he had more extended
notes Of the various items than / had.
She told mo how her husband had
struck her, how he struck her with his
FIST and cut her lip just over hor teeth,
aud how three teeth were knocked out,
roeling across tho room This cut sho
man, and I believe she told Judge
Humphreys ho took soyon stitches IN
H. BY r0oling across the room she had
struck her temple, and tho mark yet
shows from n cut received then. ShO
also related how he had blackod her
eye.
~ told her TO come In the next day
and would have the complaint ready
for her TO 90 over and sign, u waa
ready tho next morning and u WAS read
over 10 her. She commented on oncl
Of tho paragraphs and there was bat
One error, and TINT WIS whore I had
ntnied that after receiving tho black
eye sbo had had medical attendance
