Is this fair?
Now it may be that you will
agree with Dennis O'Brien, but
Judge Graham says the law is
the law and it must be admins
tered irrespective of race or
creed.
Dennis learned yesterday for
the first time that his wife, Bird
get O'Brien, secured divorce
from him three months ago on
grounds of mental cruelty. AS
Mrs. O'Brien did not know the
whereabouts of her husband at
the time she filed the suit, she Sc
cured from Judge Graham an or
der to publish the summons.
For some reason thus far not
ascertained Mrs. O'Brien retained
an attorney whose ancestors fol-
lowed Moses into the wilderness
and who probably never knew
that the snakes were soon to be
driven from old Erin.
This attorney, therefore, Sc
lected a Jewish journal in which
to publish the summons, and
Dennis demanded Of Judge Ora
ham yesterday:

see it there?"

It's curious how an idea will some

only think Of some way to blow the

Up to that minute I had never

was still saggipg In my left hip pocket.
When did think Of 1t I dragged 1t

jumped to get action, hurting my sore

They went on, talking about my
burn-up. Listening In, I learned for
the first time just how 1t had been
done. Tarbell, through his hold upon
the welshing Clanahan striker, had
got the details at secondhand. A lead
had been taken from power wire
at the corner Of the street and hooked
over the outer door-knob. And inside
