MAY TAKE AN APPEAL

A decision in the Slnnett divorce
case was made by Judge w. 8. Ham
ilton last night at $50 o'clock Just
before court adjourn I'd. The decision
denies divorce to Julia H. Sinnett
from Sam T. Sinnett. Mrs. Sinnett
sought divorce on the grounds Of
crle, and inhuman treatment. The
plaintiffs attorneys probably will take
an appeal.
IN tbs decision the court held that
the evidence did not show that Mr..
Sinnett intended to be unfeeling and
unkind. Mrs. Sinnett in her testimony
declared that her husbands actions,
his sulking moods and certain OF his
actions, ware such as to be calico
cruel and inhuman.
Both the trial OF the case and the
arguments of the counsel before Judge
Hamilton evoked much interest in So
cial circles in Keokuk, and the court
room was crowded at both times with
women. The decision has been await

grant divorce upon any of the grounds
enumerated in the statute and for
such cause only.
Plaintiff in this case prays for =
divorce from the defendant upon the
ground that the defendant has been
guilty OF such inhuman treatment as
to endanger the life of the plaintiff.
This is one of the statutory grounds
for divorce, and in this ground it can
readily be seen there are two essen
tials, viz; that the treatment com
plained of be inhuman ana thatssit en-
danger life.
Inhuman means cruel, or not gov
ernet by feelings proper to human
nature. The courts of this state have
very properly held that there may be
inhuman treatment endangering life
although. no physical injury has bsen
shown to have been sustained, and
that long cont fnned course OF ill
treatment Of any character even
without physical violence, may be
such as to endanger the life of the
wife subjected thereto.
Certain acts may be inhuman in
themselves, such as inflicting physical
violence. and proof of one such act
would be sufficient for one of the es-
sential elements of this ground
Certain other acts may become in
human by their repetition and long
contrivances.

The truth is that about so per

man or woman with red corpus

love of good fight out of any

But the further truth Is that
