Case and Testimony Given
to Prove A Allegations
DEGREES Granted.

The bonds of matrimony holding
three unhappy couples were severed
Saturday afternoon by Judge Nc

entered upon the part of the defendant
and but a short space of time was re-
quired by the plaintiffs to furnish proof
to substantiate the allegations of the
complaints and secure DEGREES! lE2A g.
The first case of the afternoon was
that of Eva B. Hauser versus Stanley
f. Hauser. A decree ives granted up
on the grounds of non-support and the
custody of the minor daughter, Helen
Hildegarte, given to the mother. The
sceuple We're married. at San Antonio,
TEX, in September, 1914. Without pre-
liminary arrangements they began liv-
ing at the home of the brides parents
and continued to do so for IL months.
aduring which time the husband paid
no board for himself or wife and cou-
tributed but little toward his wife's
support, the plaintiff testified. Mrs.
Hilda Bown, the plaintiffs step mother,
said she spoke gently to Mr.. Hauser,
suggesting that he get a house for
himself and wife, but learned that he
seemed satisfied with the house where
they were staying so long as she paid
the bills, which she did and made no
fuss about it. Upon her return to Ida
no she brought Mrs. Hauser with her
as she had no home to go to and her
coming to Boise was with the consent
of her husband. She testified. he had
only sent her SIS for herself and SIC
to the baby since they came here. more
than year ago.
DISCRETION PROVEN.

orce from Fred williams on the ground

left home to take her sick son to her
sister when her husband was not at
work and upon her return home found
her husband gone and they had never
lived together again.
Chester X. Mccarthy was granted a
divorce from Lila A. Mccarthy upon
the grounds of desertion. They were
married at Caldwell in 1909. While the
plaintiff was away at work, he testi-
fled, his wife suddenly left for Port
land without any cause or stating any
| in a letter she left him. He returned
to Boise once afterwards and visited his
mother, but left before he came home
and without the father having seer
their child. The plaintiffs mother
/ testified that she asked the girl if she
thought she should go away without
letting the father see the baby C
which she replied, Il should worry
and left. Mr.. Mccarthy testified ne
was helping to support the child and
would continue to do so and was per-
fectly willing that the mother retain
the custody.
The stage was all set for another
divorce action and the complaining
witness upon the stand to tell her tale
of sorrow, when the court discovered
that the default entered was not legal
as the 40 days in which the defendant
was given to answer had not elapsed
1t was case of default in default
