Divorce Granted

 Recognized Here
IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, July 29. - The New York supreme court today recognized a divorce obtained in a French court by Frank Jay Gould, wealthy sports man.
 Justice Mullan dismissed a divorce action brought by Mrs. Edith Kelly Gould. declaring she had defended her husbands suit in France and had had her full day in court
 What reason is there" Justice Mullan asked. that our courts. charged with the guardianship Of the states sovereignty. should deny ex- tra territorial competency to de- gree obtained in such circumstances.
 The court declared that the ease and speed of travel~in an age when long absences from home were cus- tomary, made it "even more impor- tant than it formerly was that the comity doctrine be applied with as little technicality and as much com mon sense as the particular case ad- mits of
 The length to which the courts of one nation will go in recognizing a judgment of another nation" added Justice Mullan, depends, in the last analysis, upon sound judicial dis cretion.''
 Among the records submitted to | the court were those of police court proceedings in a French department | wherein it was stated Mrs. Gould had | admitted infidelity after raid on her | dwelling.

 "Williams no Jackson have ad- mitted their guilt" he said What can you gentlemen do but go the limit in punishing thsm?
 And this man Zelcer," he shouted. he has tried to prove an alibi-to prove that he is not the man Bennett who helped Abe Attel run this deal
 Yet we prove that Abe Attell had thousands of dollars under the mat tresses at his own room in the Cin- cinnati hotel, and that he took $10,000 of this money, against Bennett's wishes and gave it to Burns for the players, and Burns gave it to Will Hams and Jackson.
 Did as AtteiI Directed
 And Zelcer, after first saying he knew AttelI slightly, finally admitted that Attell roomed with him at Cin- cinnati during the series. He then admits that he has known Attell for years, and yet he did not know of this conspiracy or of the $1o,000 trans action in his own room.
 Burns may be squealer. But, is he any worse than these defendants? Three of them squealed. His story is as good as theirs, better, because he withstood two days of grueliing cross questioning without changing a single main fact.
 "Of- course. the defendant players were at practice the morning Burns talked with them in Cincinnati. Burns himself has told you that he talked with them only few minutes and that they then went to practice. The defense has not hurt Burns story one bit on that point.

CONVICT KILLED WHEN OKLAHOMA PRISONERS R|OT
IRepublIcan A. P. Leased Wire1


 McALESTER, Okla, July 29.-One convict was killed, the shirt factory was virtually wrecked and several guards were slightly injured in riot which broke out in the shirt factory at the state penitentiary this after noon.
 Mack Whitehead, life termer from Pittsburg county, was killed when he attempted to rush the guards.
 George Perry, guard, was hit over the head and stunned and A. R. Cum mings, engineer, was hurt by a blow over the back.
 The determination of the convicts to break up the shirt factory was matched several days, according to prison authorities. With one accord break out the windows and attack the guards.
 Calls for help brought armed guards. The life termer who was killed drew a knife and made a rush. One shot was fired, dropping him in stantly.,
 A. R. Garrett, deputy warden of the prison, declared that the conyicts made no attempt to escape and seemed only bent on destroying the shirt plant, which was recently in stalled.
 Many of the prisoners, back to the wall, refused to join the rioting. Or der was restored in about 20 minutes 'sWhitehead and some of the unruly prisoners had been reading about the Pittsburg riot and they thought they could put something like that over on us," the warden declared. Dam- age to the factory could not be de- termined.
