THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
JUDGE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT
JEWISH LAW IN DIVORCE
ACTION

usual matrimonial actions ever filed
in this city was disclosed through
decision in the Supreme Court yes
terday by Justice Lydon upholding
the complaint and directing trial by
jury of a suit by Jacob Triezner
against Mrs. Caroline Triezner to an
null marriage ceremony under the
orthodox Jewish practice because his
wife brought about the marriage by
making false statements.
The fraud alleged is that the wife
represented that she had "observed,
abided by, and gone through GER
tain orthodox religious practice which
requires widow who has never had
children, and whose deceased hus-
said brother of the deceased husband
to marry her, and that if said brother
is either unwilling or unable, the re-
CURED ceremony is for the widow to
remove his shoe with a certain cere-
mony"
Justice Lydon said that the cere-
mony referred to is no doubt that
contained in the Book of Deuteron-
omy, Chapter Is, Sections 5 to 10,
reading as follows:
IS. If brethren dwell together and
one of them die and have no child
the wife of the dead shall not marry
without unto a stranger; her hus-
bands brother shall go in unto her
and take her to him to wife and per-
form the duty of husbands brother
unto her.
"6. And it shall be that the first
born which she beareth shall succeed
in the name of his brother which is
dead, that his name be not put out
of Israel. 7. And if the man like
not to take his brothers wife, then
let his brothers wife go up to the
gate unto the elders and say, My
husbands brother refuseth to raise
up unto his brother a name in Israel;
he will not perform the duty of my
husbands brother. 8. Then the
elders of his city shall call him and
speak unto him, and if he stand to it
and say, | like not to take her. g.
Then shall his brothers wife come
unto him in the presence of the elders
and loose his shoe from off his feet
and spit in his face and shall answer
and say, So shall it be done unto the
man that will not build up his broth
er's house. 10. And his name shall
be called in Israel. The house of him
that hath his shoe loosed."
The complain alleged further that
the defendant falsely and fraudulent
ly represented that children were
born to her as the result of her first
marriage and that the children were
living, which would not necessitate
the religious ceremony above set
forth. The plaintiff said that he is
of the orthodox Jewish faith and that
he would not have married the de-
PENDANT had the facts been known to
him because "she is in fact a widow
who never had children as result of
her prior MARRIAGE" ....,-

MANY BACHELOR POLICEMEN
Long Hours Of Duty Against Happy
Home Life, Official Declares

The fact that there are many bach
elors on the police force Of the city is
attributed by Clinton Rogers Wood
ruff, president of the Civil Service
Commission. to the long hours of serv-
Ice which these men are called upon to
perform. This expression was made
during a public meeting Of the COM
mission yesterday.
Policemen" said Mr.. Woodruff,
''are on duty twenty -four hours every
day, and on that account the police
force Is gradually becoming a force of
unmarried men. For eight hourS a
patrolman patrols his beat, and at the
end of that period, as in the northeast
at present, devotes four or five hours
more in cscorting workmen from plant
where a strike is in progress to their
homes. Conditions such as these do not
produce happy married home life."
