marriage OF REV. /
cox TOlOCAL WOMAN .
IS INVALIDATED
Ohio Court Of Appeals Says Harrison
Ohio Minister Was Not Divorced
From First Wife When He Mar
ried Local Woman Here.


Columbus, Ohio, August l. - A de-
cision which invalidates the second
marriage of the Rev. Fred G. Cox, for
merly a Methodist Episcopal minister
at Harrison, Ohio, was handed down
by the Court of Appeals yesterday. 1t
ruled that an "oral" decree of divorce
was not binding and sustained Judge
Charles w, Hoffman of Domestic Rela-
tions Court in dismissing Cox's suit
for divorce from his first wife.
Cox filed suit in 1919 seeking di-
vorce from Murtice Cox, to whom he
had been married for twenty years. He
charged willful absence. AS the result
OF the minister's testimony that his
wife had left him more than three
years prior to the filing of his suit,
Judge Hoffman announced when the
case was heard November 6, 1919, that
decree would be granted.
In the afternoon of the same day
Cox went to Maysville, KY, and mar
Iltu NllSb NuHllt Iihb vi
this, Judge Hoffman called Cox into
court and informed him that the di-
vorce decree had not Deen officially
recorded. The case was then reopened
and upon investigating it was learned
that the minister in applying for a
marriage license had given his occu-
patton as a street car conductor.
A short time later letter was re-
ceived from Cox's first wife in Denver,
Colo, stating that she had received no
motive OF the divorce action, although
her husband knew her whereabouts.
She also said that one of the children
was living with her and the other was
staying with Cox. while he had testi-
fled that they were both living with
him.
After careful review of the case
the court discovered from an affidavit
of one OF the minister's witnesses that
although he had separated from his
wife in September, 1917, they had lived
together as man and wife in June,
1918, which was slightly more than a
year prior to the filing of the divorce
petition, and thus the charge of three
years willful absence could not be
sustained. AS a result Judge Hoffman
ordered an entry. dismissing the suit,
to be put on January 81, 1920.
Cox's attorney then filed a motion to
set aside this judgment and when
Judge Hoffman overruled 1t he took
the case to the Court of Appeals. That
court refused to review the case, with
the result that mandamus action was
brought in tho Ohio Supreme Court
and a decision was handed down or
dering the Court of Appeals to hear
the appeal.
Although Cox's attorney contended
that Judge Hoffman did not have the
authority to place an entry on record.
dismissing the divorce suit, after hav-
ing announced an "oral decree at the
hearing, the Court of Appeals held
that the order was reversible because
the divorce decree has never been re-
corded.
1t cited the decision in a similar case
In which the court ruled that "the
court speaks through journal and
judgment is not rendered until it is
reduced to journal entry" Attorney
J. @. Martin represented Cox and At
torneys Hicks & Martin appeared
against him.

ATTEMPT IS MADE TO
 H0LD.UP FAST TRAIN Would-Be Robbers Rolled in Effort to Loot Express
 at West Haven.

New Haven, April 10,--An attempt from New Haven and routed for the Poughkeepsie bridge line, near West Haven early yesterday was reported by the operating offices of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road today. The men got nothing which set a rumor that train had been robbed of $7O,00O worth of silks which had been shipped from upstate.
 Train No. 1 was stopped at West Haven through lack of air in the braking system. Someone had open ed an angle cock. Engineer w. F. Noonan, looking back saw number of men with searchlights near some rear cars. He notified the train dis patcher at New Haven and then walk ed back to the rear, gun in hand. The men had not broken into the cars. Noonan says he gave the gun to the rear f1agman and returned to the engine.
 Each time he tried to start the train someone would let out the air in the brake line. Four men were sent from New Haven to the train and the strangers disappeared.
 Chief J. R. McMahon of the rail road police says there was no attempt to rob the train. The West Haven police, however, surmise that these strangers may have been those who last night held up men in the Orange Dramatic clubrooms and secured about $2,000.
