in the District Court a petition for
absolute divorce from his then wife,
Kate NJ. Kraus. charging her with in
fidelity. The wife filed a cross-biIl,
also for absolute divorce and she won
the decree.
The second wife's petition states
that she and Krous were married in
Atlantic City on June 2, 1915, contrary
to the law of the District, although
without her knowledge, and contrary
to the laws Of New Jersey. which COM
pels couples to be in the State "a hours

the marriage be declared void by the
court.
