not Join her husband.
Then came letters from his sister
In Russia, telling him that his wife
was not adhering to the marriage
VOWS which she made and that she
was gaining a none too good repUta-
ton at home. Maxs dream was
shattered and he at last decided that
he would apply for a divorce that his
unfaithfuI wife might have no claim
on him whatsoever. The letters
written by his sister with the sad
news of Chaia,'s actions we've present
ed in court this morning as evidence.
The case of Sa1bray Agnes Webater
Campbell, who asked for divorce
from Ne1so Gilbert Campbell. was the
next one to be heard by Judge Jen-
nfngs this mornins- The Campbells
were married June Z, 1907. A few
years Of married life were filed with
bliss, but after a while, according to
the testimony offered this morning.
Campbell started drinking the stuff
that can be Sought now only on
boats at sea, and becana cruel and
abusive to his wife.
IN 1920, during the Christmas no1i-
days, he went to Sprfn sffe1d where
he was followed by his wife who
pleaded with him to return. He told
heT that he was through with her
and that he did not wish to be both
cred any more. A divorce was grant
ed to Mrs. Campbell this morning on
the grounds of habftua1 fntenper-
ance.

Divorce Granted
To Mary Mum

By reason of the decree given this
morning to Mary R. Mum of this city.
she became again Miss Mary Randall.
Miss Randall married Lewis R. Mum
of this city while he was still a SOL
der in the army of Uncle Sam in 1918.
Three months after, he received his
discharge and the bride and groom
went to live with Mrs Munn's mother.
Short was the duration of happi-
ness of the newly married couple, and
Mrs. Mum started divorce proceede
ings on the grounds of cruelty. The
difference between the two were
patched up at that time and Mum re-
turned to his wife. They lived to-
gether at that time for only two weeks
when he went away again.
This time he went away with a
woman, Harriet Sherman, to the farm
of William Shannon in Danbury,
where they lived as man and wife
He worked on the farm and she in the
home of Shannon. Mrs. Mum in COM
pany with her brother and her attor-
ney, J. Robert Beecher, went to the
shannon farm where they corroborated
the fact that Mum was living as the
husband of Harriet Sherman
Shannon testified this morning that
Mum and the woman with him hired
out as man and wife Judge Newell
Jennings heard the case and granted
a divorce to Mrs Mum on the grounds
of adultery and change of name.

those who did this kind of work all
