BRIDE AS
PARENTS
OBJECT
Unique Testimony in an Unusual
Divorce case-Husband Com
mended by Court,

One of the most unusual divorce
cases on record was aired before
Judge Ellis Thursday when Robert A
Harper testified that he had willingly
relinquished his bride of an hour be-
cause the girls parents thought it
best. The court warmly commended
Harper for his course.
Judge Ellis words are calculated tc
cause much joy among parents who
are opposed TO the love affairs of their
offspring.
Mrs. Bertha Dickinson Harper, the
plaintiff in the case, was given first
verdict for total divorce as a result
of her husbands dutiful "desertion."
Husband Testifies.
The case was perhaps one of the
most interesting in the history of di-
vorce proceedings in Fulton County
courts. The defendant, who is barely
20 years old, was ordered to take the
stand to testify as to the merits of
his wifes suit for divorce.
Young Harper verified the argu-
ments set forth by his youthful bride,
who is very pretty and told the court
that he thought it best to separate
from his wife Immediately after the
ceremony because of the opposition of
the parents.
Conference Held.
The separation, it was stated, fol-
lowed a family conference held at the
home of the girls parents shortly
after the ceremony had been per-
formed.
Following the testimony of Harper,
Judge Ellis, addressing the jury, COM
mended the young man for his ac-
ton, stating that he did the wise
thing to yield to the wishes Of the
parents and leave his bride before
further entanglements
The Harpers were married in
March, 1908, without the consent of
the girls parents. Harper was repre-
sented by Attorney W. NJ. Smith.
