Sixty-Four-Y Year-Old Wife Obtains
Separation in Brooklyn Court
on Cruelty Charge.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE anguish
caused a wife by her husband paying
marked attention to another woman
is as great as that caused by physical
cruelty, 1t was declared in a decision
handed down by Justice Cropsey in
the supreme court. Brooklyn, grant
ing Mrs. Anna b. Newbury a separa-
tion from Charles T.. Newbury. The
latter has been deacon of the Bed
ford Heights Baptist Church for ten
years.
Mr.. Newberry is sixty.five years old
his wife sixty-four. The second wom-
ar is Mrs. Isabel Griswold, of 1923
Carroll street, Brooklyn. All three
are members of the Bedford Heights
Church. Justice Cropseys decision
reads, in part:
Except as to the misconduct
charge, of which I find that there is
not sufficient proof to establish it, I
find that practically all the allega-
tions of the complaint are sustained
The treatment OF the plaintiff by the
defendant in fact caused her to suffer
great mental anguish and impaired
her health. While 1t did not consist
of physical violence, except in one or
two instances, 1t was quite as cruel
and inhuman."

the wrangling. The latest trouble
occurred a few days ago, when the
father and son disputed about the
time to harvest a field OF wheat.
At the hearing Judge WorthinGton
had his hands full with belligerents.
Bartgis broke in on his wife's tcsti-
mony and declared that she was not
telling the truth. The Judge COM
manded him to be quiet and await
his turn to testify whereupon he in
formed Judge Worthington that 1t
vas up to him to keep quiet.
While his family was testifying as
to his strange manners, BnrtEis re-
moved his shoes and calmly encased
his feet in a pair of white hose. He
declared he left his family and went
to live alone because they were
den of tigers" He said he would
rather go to Jail than live with his
family, and added that he was afraid
they would kill him.

Murdered, Examination of
Remains ReveaSI.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE body OF
a woman murdered more than a
year ago and found April II. 1919.
in a swamp on the outskirts of New
Canaan, Conn, was exhumed yester-
day and identified. Mr.. and Mrs. Err
nest Wood recognized the body as
that of Mrs. Woods sister, Mrs. Ber-
nice Farnum, twenty-three. of STAN
ford, Conn.
With the Identification regarded as
positive by the authorities. the State
police began search for George
Hankee, of Waterbury, later of Stam-
ford. who, it is said, disappeared
about the time Mrs. Farnpm left
Stamford, in March, 1916.
Representatives of three families
met at the cemetery to witness the
exhuming, each in the belief that
the body was that of a missing rela-
tive or friend. An order to open the
grave had been given on the strength
of a statement by Mrs. Veronica Mil
Ter, of this city that a belt buckle
found on the body was the property
of her daughter. Mrs. Zirkelbach
Waraday. The latter woman had dis
appeared. But Mrs. Miller and others
of her family were sure it was not

but said it was not hers. She disap-
peared from Stamford in December,
1918.
Shortly before March, 1916, Mrs.
Farnum separated from her husband.
Ernest, and went to the home of her
stepfather, George Tully. of Stamford.
She had become acquainted with
George Hankee. Soon, Mrs. Wood
said. Mrs. Farnum and Hankee disap-
peared.
Ernest Farnum instituted a search.
This was interrupted when he was
drafted and went overseas with the
105th Engineers. Since his return
from the war, Farnum has been look
ing for his wife, intending, it Is said,
to effect a reconciliation.
An autopsy performed on the body
of the swamp victim in 1919 showed
that she had died from an operation.
The body had been concealed beneath
oak slabs and underbrush.

1t is this fact which
