WIFE WAS IGNORANT
OF YUcATAN DIVORCE

WILMINGTON, Del. Feb. DIR.
Joseph A. Russo. senior inferno at
the Delaware Hospital, was held in
bail for a further hearing when
arraigned before Judge Hastings in
Municipal Court on a charge of
non-support preferred by his wife,
Mrs Gladys M. Russo. Interest in
the case centers about a divorce,
alleged to have been granted the
defendant in Yucatan, Mexico, Sep
TENDER 25, 1926.
According to Mrs. Russo she
knew nothing of the Yucatan
divorce until several weeks ago,
when she was shown the decree in
the office of her husbands attorney,
Edward S. Cannon. The decree was
written in Spanish and she said
she was unable to read that
language. and only knew what was
told her.
She said she had asked DIR. Russo
about it and he had told her it must
be some mistake, and not worth the
paper it is written on. She said
they continued to maintain marital
relations until about month ago,
when her support was cut off.
