TER, WHO MARRIED UNKNoW-
lNGlY, ARE SEPARATED.

Cincinnati. April IA strange
story that resulted in John =. Rueh. Jr.,
aged %. being divorced from his half
sister Helen Hoffman Ruch. "a. was
related I'm the solveney court here to-
day. They were married October 20.
1910, neither mt the time knowing of
the blood relationship between them.
The relationship was disclosed few
weeks ago 1t was explained to the
court that the mistake had been pos
sible because of the fact that the
mother. for private reason, had hid
den the knowledge of the relationship
and allowed them to believe that the
girl WAS an adopted child. The petit
tion for divorce, filed by the husband.
was on the formal grounds of neglect.
The divorce was granted on that
ground to protect the young people rs
far as possible. The father and mother
of the young couple were not In court
when the hearing was held.
