JUDGES WORKING ON
 DIVORCE PROCEDURE.
Oral Testimony May Be Required.
 25 Petitions Granted Monday

Three petitioners for divorce hit a snag in Judge Walkers chancery court division Monday. He denied the divorces after going carefully into the cases.
 However, about 25 decrees, sever ing marital ties, were signed during the day, and the Tuesday calendar calls for consideration of the same number of petitions
 At an early meeting the judges of circuit court will discuss proposed changes in divorce procedure which would make it harder to obtain di- vorces. Judge Walkers recommen- dations will largely govern the ac- ri9p talsens as he is in charge of this AlfIslou-F Esis f59 E .sss gsS Whether oral testimony, instead of dispositions taken oout of court, should be required in divorce cases is one of the questions to be decided. The. judges have the authority to make such changes in procedure as they see fit. without reference to the state legislature.
