JURY AGAINST
LANDRETT0 IN
DIVORCE CASE
Verdict Awarding Decree to Lizzie
Landretto Is Received
In Court.

Lizzie Landretto, self-confessed
member of Rock Islands under
world, was granted a divorce from
Sam Landretto by verdict Of the
jury received in circuit court by
Judge N. A. Larson at 9 O'Clock
this morning.
The jury took the case at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon and
reached a verdict at s o'clock last
night. 1t is understood 10 ballots
we're taken.
Settlement OF the questions aris-
ing as to the ownership OF Liberty
bonds and cash amounting TO 81. 900
and Of alimony, has been referred
to the master-in-chancery by Judge
Larson. By this action the Judge
removes the concluding details Of
the sensational case from the cir
cult court
1t is understood that counsel for
Lan3rettO will petition the1 court
to set aside the verdict and grant
new trial. 4
The verdict covered two of the
principal issues raised by the COM
plainant and cross-plaintiff Mrs.
Landretto's charge of extreme and
repeated cruelty was sustained. In
taking note of the charge of adult
cry made by Landretto in his cross
bill. the Jury concluded that he not
only had knowledge of his wife
adultery but acquiesced therein.
! Five attorneys took an active
part in the trial, three for MrN
Landretto and two for Landretto.
The plaintiff was represented by
H. A. Weld. W. M. Walker and Will
lis Clark of St. Louis w. A. Allen
and Robert Reynolds were counsel
for Landretto.
In the concluding arguments yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. Weld Sc
| verely attacked the character of
evidence presented by Landretto.
At times his remarks were inter-
rupted by the court, especially
statements charging perjured evil
dence.
Landretto is still confronted with
the possibility Of deportation ia
Italy. The proceedings before the
United States department of labor
have been pending more than two
years. A decision is expected soon
1t is said that the records of the d.
vorce trial may be used against
him in the deportation matter.

green, and white fastened with
huge silver rings to futed marble
columns of prodigious dimension,
whose friezes reach to dizzy
heights where they lose them
selves in brooding shadows. Beds
of gold and silver stand upon
mosaic floors fantastically inlaid
with white, blue, black and red.
The guests drink the choicest
wines out of huge cups of gold,
engraved and embossed. with
marvellous cunning. A feast upon
vast scale, full of Oriental pomp
and pageantry.
On the seventh day, as usual
among men in their cups, there
must have commenced a brag-
ging debate about the beauty of
their wives; and the king, appar-
emily to make good an extrava-
giant boast, orders that his favor
ite wife, Queen Vashti, be
brought before hinl-undraped.
Though she too had given a feast,
as a woman she none the less re-
tanned her head; and fatty re-
fused to meet the request.
The refusal arouses consterna-
ton in the male quarters: Hor-
ror of horrors! Mutiny! Rebel
lion! And the wise ones counsel
drastic measures-as a warning
to the rest; so that in the future
"all wives shall give to their hus-
bands honor, both to great and
small and every man shall
bear rule in his house." And in
true Oriental fashion, the lady's
head is forthwith chopped off.
But when the king sleeps off
his cups he bethinks himself of
his folly and turns to his wise
men again. Never at a loss for
advice, they tell him to send out
his eunuchs to scour his vast
dominion for all the beautiful
maidens, among whom one would
no doubt be found worthy to take
the place of the decapitated
queen.
Now there is a Jew named
Mordechai, an exile from Jeru-
salem, living in the capital, who
has with him cousin named
Esther or Hadassah Ca myrtle),
girl of extraordinary beauty who,

Heut is Purim,
Morgen is aus;
Gebt mich a Groschen,
Und yogt mich heraus.

Und yogt mich heraus.
For the groWn-ups too it was
"a day of feasting, Of joy, and
of sending portions to one anoth-
er and gifts to the poor" Even
the town water-carrier managed
to contribute half a Shekel to
charity and to celebrate the
Purim Feast with the pomp and
the ceremony of an Oriental po-
tentate. Even the most austere
dignitary did not mind on Purim
the town wag fetching him poke
in the ribs. Indeed, it was a day
of joyous license for all-deli-
cious, superb.
No wonder even those Talmud-
lists who held that Purim was not
regular "Yom-tob" conceded
that the Book of Esther shall new
er be forgotten and the Feast Of
Purirn be observed when many
another holiday shall have disap-
peared.
Our JOY at hearing the Megil-
lah read, can hardly be equalled.
I have since heard the greatest
operas and read the greatest lit
eratures, but they somehow do
not ring with delicious pleasures
of that Oriental melody, tinged
with the rhapsody, the cantata,
and the simple folk song, replete
with soriorous articulation that
enchanted. Though the story Of
Esther was known to all of us,
it never lost its charms and spell
binding interests. We felt every
episode as if it were happening
to ourselves instead of to some
one thousands of miles away in
remote antiquity. Though the
story of Esther has many YER
sions, the one we knew best runs
somewhat like this:
A great Persian king, Ahasu-
erus presumably Xerxes, who
reigned in the fifth century be-
fore the common era, and with
whom most students of Greek
history are well acquainted)
gives a gorgeous feast at Shu-
shan, his capital. The place is
decorated royalty; looped gar

He who has ever been privi-
legged to spend Purim in the East
European Pale is not likely to
forget it SO easily. Purim in our
childhood days in the Pale was
the holiday of holidays. Every
one let himself go royalty, mag
nifcently. The Talmudic advice to
drink on that day till one did not
know the difference between
BLESSED be Mordechai" and
"Cursed be Haman,' always eff
fected point of universal cheer,
glorious and superb.
Even in the synagogue the de-
corum of the rest of the year was
all but pitched overheard. The
children brought along rattles
and Hamanklopfers. The more
sanguine of the men provided
themselves with boards and
planks. And at every mention of
the word "Haman'' the assembly
let go an uproar that shook the
rafters. They ratified. They
clapped. They pounded. The
more CHEEKY souls marked the
word "Haman" on the soles of
their boots and thumped and
stamped till the name Of the arch
Judenfresser was ruthlessly ef-
faced.
We sang, we danced, we
marched round the Aln,einar,
making merry. And the joy of it
burst through the windows and
spread to the furthermost hooks
of the town and thawed the chill
lest crust off the g1oomiest face.
The streets were filled with
sunshine and cheer. Poor children
and servant maids ran around
with sparkling eyes, holding in
their hands covered plates full Of
sweetmeats, "Hamantaschen,"
candied "Krepchen," and what
not -Shalachmones. Purim play
ers in gorgeous masks OF Oriental
Merry-Andrews made the rounds
of the town dignitaries, to enact
their side-splitting farces. Per-
haps to the sophisticated of our
world today their exploits look
the mere limitations Of tenth rate
buffoonery, but to us children
they were the most superb harle-
quins that ever lived. | doubt
whether any American child has
ever been so enraptured by his
favorite circus clown as we were
with our Purimspieler. The boys
and girls exchanged clothes and
ran around the streets singing
and shouting; visiting shops and
homes, crying:
