Of the Law have been carried out.
The Law also provides for the
of lands and the assess

Of the taxes semi-annually where the

COURT GIVES
DIVORCE TO MAN
NOT NATURALTzED

Judge woolley in the Superior
Court today handed down decision in
the divorce case of Joseph Cohen Va.
Sarah Cohen, granting a nisi decree OF
divorce to the petitioner. The case
came before the court at the May term
upon the application Of Cohen asking
for a divorce from his wife, on the
ground OF desertion
The couple were married in Russia
and Cohen has been living here for a
number OF years. He announced his
intention OF becoming a citizen. but
has been unable TO obtain his natural
ization papers. His wife came from
Russia four years ago but refused
to live with Cohen claiming she had
secured a religious divorce from him.
Cohen at the hearing was repre-
scented by Caleb e. Burchenal. The
court raised the point during the case
whether Cohen was entitled to a di-
vorce as he is not a citizen of the
United States. Argument was heard
and the court in handing down the
decision held marriage TO be a status
and not a civil contract.
The or'-ion reviewed several points
regard citizenship and bona lde
residence in the State and held that
a person can be a resident of a State
without being a citizen of that State.
