 The average church goer much prefers going to church late; it makes a commotion and disturbs the minister in prayer, reading of sermon, and also draws atten- tion to any new article of wear ing apparel on the calvaliers who may chance to be in attendance. Two minutes early is almost a crime in the eyes of really devout worshippers, who dislike to have their minds distracted by foot steps and the rustic of garments during service.

DIVORCES RUSSIAN PRINCE
Chicago Woman Wins Suit Here
Against \. Vladaovich Engalitchef.

Justice BLUR yesterday granted a de-
cree Of divorce TO Princess Evelyn
Partridge Engaltchef. daughter Of
Charles W. Partridge, of the Chicago
Board OF Trade, from Prince Nicholas
Vladaovich Engalltchef, formerly vice
consul Of Russia in Chicago. Mrs. Jane
Hathaway was named as correspondent.
The prince, who is now in Europe,
questioned the jurisdiction Of the Su-
preme Court, because he was n subject
OF the Gar.
Prince Engalitchef testified that his
friendship with Mrs. Hathaway, who
was the divorced wife Of the late
Arthur G.. Hathaway, was entirely
platonic. Mrs. Hathaway acknowledged
the friendship of the prince. but denied
there had been any wrongdoing. Prince
Engaitchef amended his answer dur
ing the trial and asked for a separa
ton, claiming that his wife tried to
take her life when he rebuked her for
receiving notes, that she had said she
hated him and that he was living on
her money.
Princess EngalitcheF was formerly
Mrs. Samuel Clayton. She also divorced
her first husband.

EVERY SUNDAY MEANT
SUICIDE DAY TO SAN
If Wife ScOIded He Either Turned
on Gas or Hanged Himself.

Whenever Sam Hyman's wife
scoldcd him he'd crawl under his bed,
turn on the gas and put pillow over
his face. If she chided him very
severely he'd wait till all the family
were about and then hang himself.
If Mrs. Lyman was much wrought up
and showed il, Sam would wait until
three or four husky neighbors were
about and then attempt to jump out
Of window.
In fact, Sam has been attempting
suicide every Sunday morning for the
past year, according to evidence given
in the Fourth Precinct Court. Newark.
yesterday when Judge Wolf held him
in 81 900 bail for the grand jury for his
last attempt on Sunday.
Sam would have been arraigned
Tuesday. but at the City Hospital,
where he was taken. he threatened 10
kill himself and the authorities had 10
hide his clothes This they did 30
well that they couldn't find them until
Yesterday.

Of Grand jury Minutes

Robert G Wood. formerly Public

In his application Woods counsel.

attacked the validity OF the indictment
on the ground that the principal wit

Of the Union Switch and Signal Com
pany. was ar accomplice.
Although Judge Wadhams finds that
this contention is question 10 be de-
cided by the trial jury, be cites author
ity defining an accomplice as one who
"by counsel or act furthers the sugges-
t.on Of a bride to participate in the
crime
Finally the court finds that Wood can
determine his rights on appeal from
the final judgment if the evidence be
fore the grand jury was insufficient.
