LIVES ARE
UNHAPPY

Further testimony was taken yes
terday in the divorce case of Nellie M.
Williams against Charles b. Williams,
the case being taken under advise
ment by Judge Galloway. This case
has been pending for some time and Is
being contested by Mr. Williams, who
it appears by the testimony has been
living in the same house and eating
his meals, except breakfast at the
family table.
The divorce case of Ellen O'Connor
against John ]. O'Connor was tried
before Judge Galloway yesterday
Some very unusual conditions were
brought out in this case. From the
testimony of the plaintiff it appears
that she agreed with the defendant
that six months after a divorce had
been granted that she would re-marry
the defendant, providing he had stop
ped drinking. Mrs. OConnor has toll
Grated his drinking for the past nine
years, having trusted to her religious
faith in believing that she could break
her husband from his drink habit. A
good deal of testimony was given to
prove the wifes faith in her ability to
cure her husband Of drunkenness,
which in theory looked good enough
from Christian standpoint, but which
in reality proved a flat failure.
Judge Galloway took occasion to Sc
yerely criticise the indulgent wife for
her leniency in dealing with her way

der advisement by the court.
