COX SHOWN HOW he
MAY YET GET DIVORCE
Court Of Appeals Gives "Rey." Cox Tip
As TO How He May Procure a
Divorce From First Wife.

Although refusing a rehearing Of the
action by Rev. Fred G. Cox, Van Lue,
Ohio, to compel Domestic Relations
Judge Charles w. Hoffman, of Cincin-
natl to set aside a dismissal and rec
ord decree in his suit for divorce
from Murtice Cox, Denver, Colo, Court
of Appeals yesterday showed the way
to Mr.. Cox whereby he may get his
case into court.
Rev. Mr.. Cox sued for divorce in
Cincinnati and served notice of the
suit on his wife by publication, Novem-
Der 6, last. Judge Hoffman heard the
case, and said he would grant decree.
Cox Immediately came to Maysville,
where he married Mamie r. Gill. AS
the result Judge Hoffman refused to
enter a decree, and dismissed the case
January 27, last
Rev. Mr.. Cox then sought to compel
decree by his action in Court of APP
peals, but this was denied him. He
asked for a rehearing, and upon this
Court of Appeals held yesterday that
the denial of the motion by Judge
Hoffman did not settle the merits OF
the case, and Mr. Cox still may file a
suit in equity to compel a decree, but
as matters stand Court of Appeals has
no jurisdiction in the case.
Rev. Mr.. Cox formerly was pastor OF
a Harrison tOhio) church. He alsc
was known by the name of Cocks. Ii
contesting for the decree he declared
his belief that he is married legally t
Mamie R. Gill and he announced sht
was living with him and would con
tinue to do so as his wife.
