UPHOLDS DESERVING WIFE
Court Says Abandonment Is No
Excuse for Erring Husband.
lBy Telegraph to The Trihun"


pCurhkeepsie. v. y. May ls.-Tho
Appellate Division Of tht Supreme Court
in BROOKLYN has affirmed the Judgment
and order In the suit for absolute divorce
brought by Aileen Ely McNeir against
Burrows McNeir, in which Justice Nor
schauser decided for the plaintlii. ms
places the Endorsement Of the Appellate
Court on the trial judges rejection OF
the novel plea made by the defendant
that his wife. by abandoning him, con-
sented 10 his meretricious relations with
other women, which Justice Morschauser
dismissed with the remark that 'if adul-
terv is proved. abandonment Is not a
defence"
II was further urged in this case that
the mother should be deprived OF the
custody Of her two children. aged two
and four years, because she bathed the
baby only once a day. occasionally put
her to bed without clothes either zoos
ened or removed and allowed her to re-
main in the custody of nurse while
che went away, besides making unnat-
ural remarks in reference To the chill
dren.
Justice Morschauser ruled that the
mother should not be judged by her acts
when In a nervous condition and In need
of recreation; the best judgment under
those circumstances could not be expect
ed. 1t might be that in her nervous
condition she made remarks to the mem
bers of her husbands family that did
not sound well from mother, he added
As the proof established that Mrs
McNeir took good care Of the children,
the order committing them to her was
given and is now sustained by the appeal
court.

that Cobb was among them, they were
cheered loudly and long. They took the

Baton Rouge, La, May 1S.-Whether
to be lynched is the same thing as being

was hanged by mob in Shreveport for
writing an insulting note to a white
woman. filed proceedings against an in
surance company to obtain the payment
of a $40O accident policy carried by the
