Admiral Fullam relieved the situa-

stances | would be very much pleased

MCCORMICK ADMITS
DRINK And DAMN"
But His Counsel Says Even
Those Things Are No Cause
for Separation.

Hartford -. Marshall. attorney for As
sis,ant District Attorney Robert c. Nc
Cormlck in the suit for separation
brought by Mrs. Frances Buzby Nc
Cormick, daughter of a Philadelphia
lawyer. told Supreme Court Justice
ton to dismiss the suit that the only
two acts OF cruelty charged were swear-
ing and drunkenness.
He once told his wife. Damn you,
Frances, you make me tired" said Mr..
Marshall. THE word damn is not an
abusive epithet. while drunkenness itself
is not a sufficient cause for a decree Of
separation"
Il agree with you" said Justice
Blanchard.
Mirabeau L. Towns. counsel for Mrs
Mccormick. said that in n legal sense
the testimony in the case was mostly
"atn ospheric." Mr.. Towns said:
After the defendant married this $50
pounds 81 beauty she lost twenty-five
pounds because OF his treatment. No
gentleman would have testified as the
defendant did IN a public court room that
his bride OF four days had stolen towels
lie admitted that he sulked for four
days two weeks after the marriage and
recovered only when he called John
.Barleycorn to his aid. No man is big
enough TO have two passions. Mrs. Nc
Cormick would say to herself. 10. the
bridegroom cometh, and the bridegroom
would come staggering up the street
Mr.. Towns concluded his argument
with the statement: This defendant
has been petty. persistent, ~picayunish.
pusillanimous and pestiferous."
