DESERTED BY HER
HUSBAND ON HER
HONEYMOON TRIP
Marital Claims Rest Heavily
on Many Who Have
Varied Faults

Married March 10. 1915. living FIVE
days at a hotel in Cumberland, Md,
where the ceremony took place, when
her husband left her and has not
been seen by her since, was the story
told in courtroom No. 1 to-day by
Mrs. Zelda M. Turner to Judge C. v.
Henry who was presiding in divorce
court. Mrs. Turner is not of legal
age yet and the proceeding was in
stituted by her through her father.
She charged her husband with wilful
dcsertion.
Her father, the next witness called
to the stand. said the first knowledge
he had of his daughters marriage
was when she sent telegram to him
announcing it. Later she returned
home without her husband and he
then sent her to Johnstown to locate
him, but with no results.
Desertion was charged in the ma
jority of cases heard at this session
of court. In only three cases direct
allegations of infidelity were made
and the eternal triangle" was given
as the reason in seeking separation.
In q number of other cases it was in
ferred that husbands or wives tiring
of married life left home because of
a third person" In about six of
the cases cruel and barbarous treat
ment was alleged, partly caused by
drink.
SO In Ten Years
One of the last cases called in
courtroom No. this morning was the
action brought by Mrs. Laura j. Mil
Ter. She testified that she was mar
ried to Isaac M. Miller in 1898 and
lived with him until late in 1915. One
day in October in that year, she said,
her husband came home, packed his
tools and his clothes and left. Since
then he has been living with another
woman, she told the court.
Mrs. Edna Hill. also charging her
husband with desertion, told the
court he had contributed $40 toward
her support since 1908, when they
were married. She said her husband
promised weekly after they were
married that he would start house,
keeping next Monday" but that the
next Monday" didn't come and final
ly he left and went to his parents
while she stayed with her mother and
father.
Among the other cases heard were
the following: Estella Wolfe VS.. Ed
