Licking Co. Courts To Wait
60 Days In Uncontested
Cases
MRS. BLANCHE ENGES
WANTS SEPARATION
Says Her Husband Has De-
serted Her-News From
The Court House

The agreement in certain kinds of
divorce cases has been agreed on by
the probate and common pleas courts
of Licking county.
Some time since, Judge Hunter of
the probate, laid down a rule to hold
up his decision for time after a
hearing of a divorce case in which
there had been no contest. In the
meantime an effort was made to get
the defendant into open court and
not, until the effort was made was the
decree made.
The rule as it now stands avoids
any confusion by making it a delay
of 60 days in the rendering of the de-
cree when the defendant has had to
be notified by publication of the pend.
ency of the suit. 1t sometimes hap
pens that at late day the defend
ant hears of the notification by publ
cation and comes in and desires a
hearing.
The making of the joint rule is to
avoid confusion in the trial of these
cases and to make both courts stand
on parity and equally divide an i'm
mense volume of business, which
would clog one court alone. Both
have the same jurisdiction in divorce
cases.

Sheriff John M. Woolison was ap-
prised of Diamonds arrest Thursday
evening in telephone call from Co.
lumbus 1t was through Sheriff Wool
ison that information was obtained
which led to the arrest.
Some little time ago, Detroit au-
thorities wrote Sheriff Woolison, tell
ing of the alleged embezzlement as
recited in the above dispatch. The
sheriff kept his eye open, expecting
that possibly Diamond might reap
pear in this city.
Just this week, the sheriff learned
that Diamond was in Columbus and
he Immediately impaired this infor-
nation to the police Of that city with
the result that Diamond was appre-
hended Thursday evening.
The erratic career Of Diamond is
we'll known to residents of this city.
Coming here as an alleged palmist,
mesmerist and Swami, he took up his
abode and forthwith began to figure
in local police court circles.
He was arrested time after time
while here on variety of charges
the greater number of which were in
toxication. Fighting was once placed
opposite his name on the police court
docket.
Toward the end of his stay in this
city and following the marriage men
toned in the above dispatch, Dia
mond was placed in the tolls of the
law on a charge of selling dope
The evidence in connection with the
arrest was procured by a private de
tective by the name Of Dillon from
Chicago
Nothing of a positive character
could be produced to substantiate tht
charges OF Dillon, and Diamond wa'
freed. In turn, he caused the ar
rest Of the detective, but this cast
was likewise dismissed.
Diamond was sued by his wife fo
divorce, but the petition was with
drawn by the maker for some reasoI
or other. Later he left Mt. Vernon
presumably for good.
He was regarded in local police
circles as a first-class crook and I
scoundrel, but no evidence could b,
obtained to prove any of thes,
charges, although his past was al
ways regarded with suspicion.
When Diamond left Mt. Vernon, h
was fiat broke. A resident of thi
city encountered him a month or s
later in hotel in northwestern Obi

suited in the indictment and convic-
ton of several officials and Chicago

SCHOOL NOTES
BY Benjamin w. Rawilns


ual Monday morning, Nov. 10. The
program was arranged by Miss Camp
bell, member of the faculty. In his
opening speech, Mr.. Rimer mentioned
the fact that Michigan, which was the
subject for the program, went dry at
the last election. The program was
as follows:
An Appreciation-Zillah Graham.
The History of Michigan-Edwin
Brown.
The Industries and Products Of
Michigan-Forest Mavis.
A Michigan Writer-Pearl Smith.
The School of Michigan-Edwin
Worley.
Two alma mater songs, one of the
university and the other one Of the
NJ. A. c.. Following that, Robert
Eastman spoke to the school concern
ing the Forum.
The debate squad which was chos-
| en- last week is at work now. Mr..
Cunliffe expects to put them through
very severe drilling in preparation
for the debate next March. The first
practice debate will be held next
| Thursday. Although the material,
with the exception Of two students,
is raw, it is able and willing and is
of the caliber to carry away the hon
ors from Newark and GAINESVILLE.
The students of the Mt. Vernon
high school desire to express their
sympathy to the students of the Am
ity high school for the loss of their
building which burned Thursday
night.
Mrs. George Doup visited school
last week.
The high school has recovered from
the political fever which it was in
last week and the work has been pro-
crossing splendidly.
Miss Helen Colville, member OF
the high school faculty, will spend
the weekend in Wooster, visiting her
sister there.
Mrs. Besse Patterson Chrisman,
who graduated from the Mt. Vernon
high school in 1911, entertained a
large crowd at the Church of Christ
last night with a concert. Mrs. Girls
man showed great genius along ora
torical lines even when in the high
school.
The Forum staff had its annual
spread last night. Delicious refresh
ments were served and a splendid
time was enjoyed by all. The Forum
this year has been grand success
both editorially and financially, and
under the efficient management OF
Robert Eastman, business manager
and Arndt Gamertsfelder, editor
ably backed by the rest of the staff
is making this year memorable in the
history of the Forum.
State Inspector Mr.. TWIST visited
the high school yesterday, visiting
the classes. Mr.. TWIST inspects both
the school building and the class
work, but especially the class work
in which Mt Vernon comes up tc

who is seeking a divorce from her
husband, in this case, Alfred n. En-
ges.
She says they We're married on
Aug. %, 1911, and that no children
were born to them.
Trials and hardships have been her
lot she states, as all of her clothing
has been earned by working out by
the day and keeping roomers and
boarders.
Notwithstanding all of this, plain
tiff claims that her husband would
call her all manner of vile and inde-
cent names and charge her with be-
ing unchaste, although there was no
cause for the same.
She says she has frequently been
forced to break up housekeeping.
Defendant left her about two years
ago, she charges, and went to parts
unknown. The last she heard OF him,
he was in Huntington, w. Va.
Charging gross neglect of duty and
cruelty, she asks for divorce. b. O.
