Jones told Judge Booth he was married to the defendant Oct IT, 1928, at Litchfield. She continually appeared dissatisfied with married life. he said. On July 10. 1881, Mothers Day, she told Mrs Jones. mother of her husband, You can lock the door because I'm not com ing back" Jones said he waited two weeks and, called upon his wife who was living with her mother in Litchfield and asked her to come back to him. She refused.
 Judge John Rufus Booth was re- uuested to determine today wheth- CT a divorce decree obtained by a waterbury woman in Cook county, Illinois, in 1893 is legal. If he finds the decree to be legally obtained. he Is then requested to disregard divorce suit presented to hir this morning in which James A. Millar of Waterbury is the plain tiff.
 The defendant in the action heard today is Mrs Roy Cook of Bayside. L. l., who obtained the decree in Illinois against Millar. If Judge Booth finds that the decree obtained in the west is illegal. he is requested to grant divorce to Millar on the testimony offered to- day.
 It is an unusual case with un- common ramifications. Millar's wife married Cook after obtaining her decree.
 Judge Booth in endeavoring to get further information on the case. prompted statement from Attorney Walter F. Torrance. counsel for Millar that explained the situation. MT Torrance said Millar now keeps company with girl in Maine, whose father Is pr ,minent attorney. It is the attor- ney, MT Torrance said. who is in- sist:ng upon the courts fixing the status of Mill S's wife.
 Millar, MT Torrance said. wants to marry the Maine girl, but can not do so until the divorce decree of his wife is settled.
 Millar said he married his for merj wife, April 6, 1928. They be- came separated by friendly agree ment on October, 1882. He brought her a ticket Glendale, Cal.
 Mir Torrance in nresentir~ the case to Judge Booth argued that the decree obtain d by Mrs Cook in July. 1883. could not hove been legally obtained because she could not have established a years resi- dence in Illinois. as required by the state laws there. He gave as his prof, certain letters and cards received by Millar and several or his friends. postmarked from Glen dale, Cal, as late as May. 1883. One of the cards was received by Millaf at Christmas time upon which he was wished a Merry Christmas and an announcement that his wife was going to tho Rose Bowl football game on New Years Day.

 Fulfilled

Fulfilling the prediction made by Dr Thomas J. Cond0n, super intendent of schools at the close of the school term last year, ten- tative enrolment figures compiled to-day disclose a reduction in both high schools and grammar schools as compared with previous years. Dr Condon attributes the decrease in registration to a declining birth rate.
 Total registration Is approxi- mately 16,714. with high school enrollment of 1857 and 12,357 in the grades. These figures show a decrease of 72 in the high schools and reduction of 290 grade school pupils. They were tabulated as a result of the first week at- tendance and may be subject to change. The complete record will be reported to the board of edu- cation meeting at Crosby high school Monday by pr Condon.
 Tentative figures released at Crosby to-day disclose a total reg istration of TITO. Of this number 502 are members of the freshman class: 476 are sophomores; 45G juniors; 317 eniors and 21 are taking post graduate courses.
