DIVORCE M|[[PA|R
CONVICTED BY JURY
Two Lawyers Accused of
Fraud in Suit Brought for
New York Woman.
By the Associated Press.

by LnS ASsOClateQ ProeS.
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. June 24.--The
| first case growing out of investigation
| of Rhode Island divorce mills for non
residents has resulted in conviction.
Leonard w. Horton, master in chan
Gerry, and his law partner, Francis P.
Dougherty. were found guilty yester-
day by jury of conspiring to defeat
justice by procuring a decree Of di-
vorce through a fraudulent deposition.
The indictment, one of 26 in which
the two men were named either singly
or jointly, was based on the divorce
decree obtained last March by Mrs.
Genevieve +. Thomas of New York
from Edwin T. Thomas. Attorney
General Charles P. Sisson has declared
that there have been collusion and
false dispositions in about 100 divorce
cases In which non-residents set forth
that they lived in Rhode Island.
Divorce Trials Secret.
Emanuel George Rands of Provi-
dence, Signer of deposition in the
Thomas case, testified that he had
signed the paper at the request of
Dougherty without knowledge of its
contents. A police inspector and a de-
tective testified that street addresses
and other dispositions admitted in evi-
dence were false.
Divorce evidence is heard in secret
IN Rhode Island and usually consists
OF dispositions without the appearance
or witnesses or the parties involved.
The grounds are broad.
The sentencing of Horton and
Dougherty has been delayed because
OF their intention to appeal. The maxi
mum penalty is 10 years imprison-
ment.

on Appointment, to Rest
Case With Voters.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md. June "a.
With a view to giving the voters
an opportunity to register approval
or disapproval of their conduct in
office, Mayor Kenneth Boyay and
CounCilmen Louis Rosentleld, War
ren w. James, II. 7. Clayton and
John A. Weller last night at a spe-
Cial meeting resigned their reSigna-
lions to take effect upon qualifica-
tion of their successors, to be chosen
at a special election July Is.
For several weeks the mayor and
council have been deadlocked over
the appointment of Il town assessor,
and in order that the tax levy may
be completed by June 80, as required
by law, the mayor and council last
night appointed l.. w. Randolph and
John Haywood as assessors, and they
subscribed to the oath of office. The
mayor and council had been dead
locked over the reappointment of
Charles NJ. Reichelt as assessor. The
mayor and Councilman Rosenfield
were vigorously opposed to Reichelts
reappointment, and Councilmen Clay
ton, Weller and James were as en-
ergetically in favor of it. Reichelt's
term expired May t.
Indications today were that there
VIII be a spirited fight for mayor
and all the COunCilmauic seats.
The incumbents will seek reelection.
and election papers We're taken out
last night by former Mayor Fred
Negus, who will oppose Mr. Bovay,
and by Norman A. Pruitt, who will
make the race for council in the first
ward against Rosenfield. In the May
election Mr.. RoSentield won over Mr..
Pruitt by two votes, with something
over 200 votes cast in the ward
Last nights meeting was called fol-
lowing special meeting held last
Thursday night. when the mayor and
council agreed to resign, but the legal
ity of the procedure was questioned
by Corporation Counsel Arthur c.
keefer, who requested that he be
given time TO study the question.
Last night Keefer again expressed
doubt as to the legality of the move,
which he said had referred to the
attorney general of Maryland for
an opinion. He expressed the belief,
however, that an opinion probably
would be rendered by the attorney
general before the special election,
and that in the meantime the inter
ests of the town would have been
served through completion of the
assessment.
keefer last night rendered his
resignation. which the mayor and
council probably Will act on at the
next meeting.
