When the papers appeared before the judge with

naturally took it for granted that they were all right
However the process of law required that they must
be read aloud to him. This was done by Attorney

not easy to follow.

he was mostly interested in when
and where you were married, and
especially if you were resident of
Rhode Island. If you were, then
everything would be all right, but
if not, well, you just must be. He
was one of those masterful persons
who. would not take no for an
answer.
The quick, snappy little dialogues
that went on between Horton and
his clients, as told to Attorney Cen
eral Sisson, seem to have always
followed the same line.
The following is a sample of what
actually happened, as related by
one of-the divorce mill clients:
How long since your husband
has sent you any money!"
You might answer that you were
not seeking divorce for money rea-
sons. He would simply jot down
something in his little black note
book and ask how long you had
lived in Rhode Island.

vorce was genuine, so re-
tanned another lawyer to
search the records. To my as
constituent he told me that my
decree had been properly filed,
and that | was as free as the

The reason Horton insisted
that all his clients must be res
idents of Rhode Island was
that this is the only State
where divorces are granted by
dispositions (sworn statements
in writing), and none Of the
interested parties need appear
IN court. Evidence presented
in the form of written state
ments, duly signed and sworn
TO by principal and witnesses,
are all that the Rhode Island
law requires.
The judge was supposed to
consider these documents care
fully, and, if doubtful, send for

the matter was turned over to

Thurman Lease Block Gets At'
tention of Big Oil Inter
eStS.

Things are looking much
more hopeful for the Thurman
interests here than ever before
and indications point to the
drilling of an honest-to-good-
ness oil test we'll in this block
of acreage, just east of this
city, soon and under more fa-
vorable conditions than have
prevailed in any test well yet
attempted here.
Mr.. Allen G. Thurman, pro-
motor of the block and to whom
credit for this test goes, has re-
turned from Shreveport, where
he found the really big oil in
terests more favorable to this
locality than ever before. I'M
portant information in this
connection may be available at
an early date.
Due to the continued increase
in the price of crude, and the
lessening of the oil reserve
supply, a big wildcatting pro-
gram for this season is taking
form, and it looks as if this
territory would come in for it's
full share of this development.
