Acquitted of Killing Wife.
John p. Heating Freed by
Queens County Iurx

A jury in the Supreme Court, Queens
County, last night returned YER
dict Of not guilty in the case of John
T. Keatlng, tfty-two years old, of rs
Forty-ninth Street, Corona, L. l., who
was charged with killing his wife, Mary
Heating, in their home on December 10
last. Two daughters of the accused
man, who were in the courtroom when
the verdict was returned, tainted.
The defense showed that the shoot
ing was accidental. Evidence was in
troduced to prove that when Heating
returned to his home on the night Of
December 10, he met a stranger on his
doorstep and that he took the man
back into the house, where an arru-
ment ensued. The men are said to
have come to blows, and in the fight
that followed it was proved that Keat-
lng's pistol was accidentally dis
charged. The bullet entered the right
temple of Mrs. Heating, who watched
the fight from an adjoining room.

Attacks Divorce by Rabbis
Judge SAYS 1t Is Obtaining
Money Falsely

A vigorous attack on the "ghet," or
rabbinical divorce, was made by Justice
Benedict, in the Brooklyn Supreme
Court, yesterday when he refused to
grant an application for a divorce. filed
by Louis Bratburd, of 225 New Lots
Avenue. Bratburd charged misconduct
By his wife, Ida.
"The case smacks of collusion," the
Court declared. at appears, among
other things, that the plaintiff paid
some rabbi to give him a so-cAlled
'ghet, or Jewish divorce, and that he
subsequently brought this action The
wife also was a party to the rabbincal
divorce.
ut seems that our criminal laws
should be made to cover these rabbin-
ical divorces. The rabbis know per.
fectly we'll that they are taking money
under the>false pretense of giving the
parties something of value, and they
know also, or ought to know, that the
act is against the law"
