Nagging Wife Finds
Friend In N. Y.
Judge

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Feb.
26.-Nagging by his wife isn't
so serious when the man she
nags has been her husband for
thirty years-and it isn't a
very convincing argument for a
separation.
That was Supreme Court
Justice Taylor's comment when
Police Lieutenant Edward De-
veaugh said his wife made life
miserable for him by Fostering.
Both are advanced in years.
Mrs. Ruth Deveaugh filed suit
for separation, asking 500 a
month alimony. She was given
$50.
She said Deveaugh aban-
doned her November 81. In a
counter affidavit Deveaugh al
legged that she nagged him per-
petually. Justice Taylor urged
Martin Tierney, attorney for
the husband, and Leo Fallon,
the wife's counsel, to see
whether they could not effect
a reunion.
"They have been married
thirty years-they ought to
keep on a little longer. There
is nothing to this scolding or
nagging. A woman who has
reached that age after so many
years of married life is entitled
to q little extra consideration.

Ohio. He bought house for $4,000
cash. He educated his three Aneri-

Tony took his wife and three boys
to Italy last May. Returning on
the Adriatic last Tuesday. the whole
family was sent to Ellis Island. The
boys could not be excluded from the
land of their birth. The mother

of her husband, held for the grand
jury for making ''moonshine," Mrs.
Caroline Zuber, divorced wife of
the defendant, came forward and

The present wife's signature was
rejected because the property offer

themselves, but they also failed to
qualify because they were mar
ried.
Then when the cell doors were
yawning the divorced wife solved
