Couple in Divorce Case

TRENTON, April 26-Testimon'
in the suit for divorce brought by
Harry F. Brown. of South River.
against his wife, Eva Brown, also of
| South River, was heard here yes
terday before Vice Chancellor Maj
colin Buchanan. Brown alleged that
his wife deserted him in 1918. Mrs.
! Brown in a cross petition, also ask
I ed . divorce on the same grounds.
The Browns formerly lived at South
Amboy.
1t was alleged that Brown left
his wife some years ago and went
out west to Chicago, from there to
REM, Nevada, and finally wound up
at Boise, Idaho, going to these
places, it was said, for the purpose
of getting a divorce.
Vice Chancellor Buchanan asked
Brown whether he had gone there
because he thought the divorce laws
in those states would be more ia
vorable to him than in New Jersey.
Brown admitted this.
The Browns were married in 1901,
it was testified. and they separated
in 1911, becoming reconciled in
1916 and separating again in 1915.
August Streitwolf, of New Bruns-
wick, counsel for Mrs. Brown
Congressman Elmer II. Geran, presi-
dent of the board, presided.
A committee was appointed to
purchase a bell for the Cliffwood
school. Invitations for the senior
class graduation were also ordered

lowing committees for the coming

charged that the husband had re-
peatedly tried to get rid of his wife.
On the stand, Mrs. Brown alleged
that her husbands mother declared
that If Brown could be divorced
from his wife, he intended to marry
a woman in the west. Mrs. Brown
also testified that in a letter she
found. which had been written to
her husband by the other woman, >
the latter had addressed her hus-
band in %endearing terms.
Mrs. Brown charged that her
husbands brother, Oliver Brown,
was instructed by her husband to
sent the latter a telegram that their
mother was very sick and to journey
from the Middle West to New Jer-
sey SO that her husband, according
to her, could evade marriage with
the western woman
In January, 1921. Mrs. Brown
filed suit for the annaulment of the
marriage. Asked by the Vice Char
.cellor why. if she professed to still
care for her husband, she had filed
the annulment suit, which a ar
forwards dropped, the wife declared
that she had fought W. divorce
suits brought by him already and
was tired of fighting them. The
case will be continued next Tuesday.
