MAN AND WIFE
DIVIDE H0N0RS
in COURT CASE
Jury Finds Blacksmith Guilty
of Cruelty, but Acquit
Him of Neglect.

Special findings returned Saturday
morning by the jury that heard testi-
mony in the divorce suit of Mary Ballo
against Moses Ballo. Sunburst black
smith, adjudged the defendant guilty
of cruelty and not guilty of charge
that he failed to provide his wife with
the common necessaries of life. The
case stands with both husband and wife
having won a decision in their first
court encounter.
Under Amusement
When the foreman of the jury an
nounced that Ballo had been cruel
husband, his counsel moved the court
to set aside this finding on grounds
that the complaint did not state facts
in support Of the finding and also that
the record carried no substantiating
evidence. Judge III. Fl. Ewing disposed
of the motion by saying that he would
consider it following the adjournment
Of the present jury term.
Said She Was Peevish
Mrs. Ballo testified on the stand
that her husband would not provide
her with fresh meat and that he often
cursed and beat her and at one time
allowed an employe, Alexander Crosse.
to call her vile names without inter
ference. Ballo claimed that his wife
became peevish because he no longer
allowed her to handle the finances Of
the home. They were married in Spo-
kane, April IS. 1914.
