I'VE have had very delightful con-

definite conclusions. but We talked

POLICEMEN IN FIST
FIGHT AT STATION:
ONE GETS $40 FINE

A bit of 'jollying" between ]. P.
Born and A. F. Duncan, two supernu-
merary policemen, in the roll call room
at the police station last night, ended in
fist fight.
The two men are said to have been
bantering each other. and Born said
Duncan became angry, cursing him.
Born retaliated by striking Duncan in
the face with his fist. Although both
men We're armed, no effort was made by
either one to use a weapon. They
We're separated by other officers.
Following an investigation today,
Chief Beavers directed that both men
be arraigned before Recorder Broyles
on charges of disorderly conduct. Dun
can was fined 5000. and the case of
Born was dismissed.
The fight will be brought TO the at
tention of the police commission at the
next meeting.

BAD COOKING GOOD
PLEA FOR DIVORCE,
SAYS FULTON JURY

Cruel treatment as grounds for di-
vorce got a new definition in second d.
vision of Fulton superior court today
when Fred Fisher took a first verdict
against his wife. Mrs. Lucille Fisher. on
the assertion that her cooking gave him
indigestion.
Fishers attorney announced to the
court that his client was asking a di-
Vorce on the grounds of cruel treatment
and that his wife had not appeared to
offer defense to his allegations that he
had been abused.
Fisher took the stand and told the
Jury seriously that during his married
life he had eaten only meals prepared
by his wife, and invariably suffered an
attack of indigestion as a result.
The jury seemed to have a reason
able doubt as to whether or not the
serving of inferior meals on the part
of the wife constituted cruel treatment
in the meaning of the divorce law. After
a lengthy session of argument in the
jury room, they concluded that it did,
