sei that Mrs. de Bouchelle laid plans to obtain a. divorce after becoming ac. quanited with Mfr. Candier. Court officials and lawyers look foi evidence tRbcs in by Tuesday morning and arguments begun. Two hours fos arguments will be allotted to q side, and it is expected that the case will reach the jury Tuesday afternoon which will be the sixth day of the trial Divorce Decree Attacked
 The decree of divorce obtained in Reno, Nev., by Mrs. Onezima de Bou. chelle of New Orleans was not valid under the Nevada law, and should not be recognized in Georgia because ''it is contrary to public policy" it was con. tended. today by attorneys for Asa c Candler, Atlanta capitalist, arguing be fore Judge Samuel H. Sibley in United States district court in the fourth days trial of the $500,0O0 heart balm suit instituted by Mrs. De Rochelle.
 sThis divoree is illegal and would not have been recognized even in the state of Nevada, where, 1t was granted { declared Attorney W. ID, Thompson chief counsel for Mir. Candler. ,"We shall further contend that even If valid in Nevada it would have not been rec, ognized in Georgia under the comity doctrine. We shall contend that any divorce obtained in foreign state can not be recognized here if it is contrary to public policy. We shall contend further that the grounds on which fl was obtained--those of non-support- is not good ground in Georgia, and is not a good ground in Louisiana" The jury which began the trial of the case last Wednesday was not pres. tent at today's- session, having been ex- cused until Monday, but Judge Sibley had requested that opposing counsel appear today for review of certain legal questions involved in the case Judge Sibley indicated that he would not hand down a decision on any dis puted question of law until Monday.
 "We shall contend" Mir. Thompson said, speaking of the divorce decree of Mrs. De Bonchelle. "that the ground itself was fruad on the Nevada courts for the reason that for the six months immediately preceding the decree, she had left her husband and gone to Reno and for the six months before that she had been travelling in Europe.
 Wanted Reconciliation
 IsMoreover, her husband had written her twice duringg the 12 months that he wanted her back and would do any thing if she would return to him.
 .Therefore we shall contend that while he actually did not support her for the 12 months, the manner in which these facts were placed before the Ne vada courts constituted a fraud.
 We shall contend further that the state of Nevada itself would not have recognized the decree as good and valid

because her domicile in the state was pot such as was contemplated by the law" ~
 Attorney Harry Gamble of New Or leans, representing Mrs. De Bouchelle, defended the validity of the divorce. He asserted that his client had estab- lished n legal domicile in Reno before seeking the decree and therefore her residence there was bona fide and in every respect in accordance with the Nevada law. He argued that the de- cree should be recognized in Georgia under the constitutional provision of full faith and cedit." L Right here want to. say" Mr. Gamble said, land must mention it now before the arguments begin that we propose to put on the stand two witnesses, by one of whom-an attor- ney at law in New OrleaIis-we will show that this plaintiff had not lived with her husband for seven years be- fore she got her divorce and that she had consulted with him years before she came to Atlanta relative to insti- tuting divorce proceedings" He added they would show thht her husband did not offer her support as governed by the laws of Louisiana and Nevada.
 Tn this connection" the attorney continued, i've will show that the idea of obtaining divorce did not result when she came to Atlanta and met the defendant but years before"
 Question Of DOnlieiIe
 Next he took up the question of domi- cile, saying, "the question. of residence is dealt with in the Nevada laws" and quoted from Nevada legal Authority the statute which he said was in ef- feet before it was altered in 1921, that sufficient comity within the law is when there was residence and that alone.
 But we go farther" he said, If we had taken the view of our plaintiffs letters to the defense to which she made reference about when I have complied with the laws of the state of Nevada But we feel differently. We feel that every time a declaration of that nature was made by her that it was declara- tion that she intended scrupuiously to comply with the statutes of that state which applied to residence and residence alone"
 At this point Attorney Gamble asked Judge Sibley if the court was sitting in substance asa Georgia court. Judge Sibley answered to the effect that where no federal laws applied in civil cases the state law was in effect.
 Judge Sibley at ? o'clock declared he was saturated for the day" and adjourned the arguments until 0 q. m. Monday. an hour before the jury Is scheduled to apeaR.

Park Rail Painted
By Civilians and
Rotarians Friday

A strange sight greeted all who hap
pened to be around the square last
Friday afternoon about four O'Clock,
when the Civilians and Rotarians all
pitched in to paint the park rail.
There were men in straw hats, felt
hats, black hats, and brown hats, a
still wider variation of suits, some of
them CARRIED in overalls, the most sem
sible clothing for such work. A
crowd soon gathered around and
laughed as few men, unused to
work of that kind, tried in vain to
get the paint on the rail instead of on
their clothing.
On one side, of the square bunch
of small boys gathered and tried to
give advice as to how it was done,
but the men stuck seriously to their
task and finished without the help
of the young onlookers. The rail
looks fine now and their work is APP
preciated by the people as well as
the city officials.

Monday morning Mr.. George Dam
iell installed the radio set belonging
to Daniel Brothers in the bandstand
in the municipal park. Daniel Bros.
installed their set IN the park to en-

operating it at their own expense.
Having five tubes, the set Is one

about two years ago. Attached to it

enjoy the concerts from any point on
the square. The aerial is stretched
from the flag pole in the center Of
the park to a post near the band

to rods driven in the ground which
connect with water mains.
The city has constructed a cabin
on the bandstand just large enough
to accommodate the set and operator

ceived programs from stations all
over the United States, including Cal
ifornia, as well as points in Canada,
Mexico, and Cuba.

RAPID PROGRESS is
BEING MADE ON new
H, SCHOOL BUILDING
To Be Ready For Pupils On Sep
TENDER 1, Says President
Of Board

The new High School building
looks very different now from what
it looked two weeks ago. Where two
weeks ago we saw pile Of brick
and mortar, hardly recognizable as
a building, we now see the walls Of
Beautiful schoolhouse. The walls
of the building are even with the roof
in front and almost finished in the
rear. The walls of .1the auditorium
are lowest and they are about half
way finished.
The heating plant has been put
in, the boiler being several times
as large as the one in the old build
ing. A great deal Of the plumbing
is completed and the rest is being
worked on at top rate of speed.
Mr.. Boston, president Of the board
stated that thirty percent Of the
structure has been completed and I'M
less unseen trouble develops, the
building will be ready for occupaD-
cy by the first of September in time
for school opening. The board is
encouraged by the work that has
been accomplished and are doing
their utmost to have the building fin
ished as soon as possible.
