DECREE FOR MRS. CHARIOT
Separation Granted Perjury
Charged by Justice.

Justice Blanchard decided yesterday
that Mrs Dace Melbourne Chariot was
entitled TO a separation from Alphonse c.
Chariot. formerly president Of the Char
lot Mines and Shelters Company. The
wife sued on the grounds of cruelty and
abandonment.
The justice said that the evidence given
on the trial of the case was so contra
dictory that he could not determine how
much alimony to award to Mrs. Chariot.
and he asked counsel for plaintiff and de-
PENDANT To make further argument on this
point. Chariot is now In Ludlow street
Jail because he failed 10 pay his wife $40
alimony pending the trial of the suit.
Justice Blanchard said he was convinced
that perjury was committed at the trial.
He refused TO find in his decision that
Chariot abandoned his wife.
