D, 6. COAL MAN
IS ACCUSED BY
DIVORCED WIFE
Franklin C. Morris Arrested for
Alleged Fraud in Obtain
ing Decree.

Charged with Illegally obtaining
a divorce from his first wife In
order that he could marry another
woman, Franklin c. Morris, forty.
seven, a coal operator, Of 1901 X
street northwest, was arrested here
today by Detective Sergeants Mes
ser and Mullin for the Baltimore
authorities.
Morris was taken into custody on
an Indictment found by the Balti-
more grand jury on evidence given
by his former wife, Mrs, Adah M.
Morris, of Detroit. In obtaining
divorce from her last June, Morris
is alleged to have stated that they
were married on April IL, 1900, by
the Rev. Merle st. c. Wright, in
New York. Mrs. Morris left him,
according to his petition for divorce,
on June 7. 1918, in Detroit. deciar-
ing that she would never live with
him again. Morris testified that
he and his wife had not lived to-
gether since that time, and that
there was no hope for a reconcilia-
ton. He said he had lived In Balti-
more for two years before filing the
suit, and that his wife was not a
resident of Maryland. The divorce
was granted Morris and several
months later he married again,
bringing his second wife to the
Capital, where he "has been en-
ployed in the coal business.
In her testimony before the Balti-
more grand jury, Mrs. Morris No. l
denies she abandoned him and
alleges that Morris perjured him
self in his testimony.
II did not commit perjury when
1 petitioned the Baltimore courts
for a divorce from my first wife,"
Morris said. II told the truth. The
only thing in my statement that
may be misconstrued is my state
ment that l had been a resident Of
Baltimore for two years. True
did not actually live there during
that time, but l considered Balti-
more my home.
II was travelling during the two
years for q Baltimore firm and, of
course, while ! was on the road
could not be in Baltimore at the
same time. However, l had an
apartment in Baltimore which I
paid for while l was on the road
and therefore considered was a
resident of the Monumental City
during the two-year period I was
employed there"
Morris said he would return to
Baltimore to fight his first wife's
charges.
