 A disinclination to work to SUD- port his wife and infant child on the part of Nelson Elmer Williams, for merly of Forestville but now resid- ing in Vermont. was the primary cause of marital disagreements. ac- cording to the testimony of his wife. Merle Selma Williams. before Judge Edward M. Yeomans in superior court yesterday. A decree was granted on the harge of assertion.
 The couple married in Forestville, October Is, 19.7 and lived happily until Williams was drafted for army service in 1918. A daughter was born to the couple on February 10. 1919. Following his discharge from service, Williams returned home but it seems that while in the army. he developed the habit of laziness and refused 10 work to support his fam = fly. For a time the couple lived with Mrs. Williams mother but fin- ally. after imposing on the mother S hospitality for considerable period. Mrs. Williams demanded that her husband go to work and support her and the child. This ultimatum met with the disapproval Of Williams. who immediately packed his belong ings and returned to his native town in Vermont. According 10 Mrs Will Hams, he has not been heard from since.
