Maintenance Suit Held
District Court Liability

(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
The United States Court of Ap.
peals today held that District Court
has jurisdiction to try a mainte.
nance suit based on the contention
that a Nevada divorce decree wa.
not valid, on the allegation that the
husband who obtained the divorce
was not domiciled In Nevada at the
time the divorce was granted.
In its ruling the appellate court
pointed to Supreme Court opinion
and reversed decision of District
Court.
The lower court had dismissed q
maintenance suit brought by Mrs
Ruth B. Evans, $500 block of Thirty
fifth street NV, against Donald p
Evans, Bureau Of the Budget EN-.
ploye, at a yearly salary of more
than 5000.
The District Court had held the
validity of a Nevada divorce OBJ.
tanned by Mr.. Evans should have
been contested by Mrs. Evans In
Nevada.
IN reversing the lower court the
appellate court remanded the
maintenance suit "for trial of the
questions presented by the plead
ings and for further appropriate
action"
The appellate court decision In
dicated that the burden OF proof
to show that Mr.. Evans was not
properly domiciled in Nevada will
rest upon Mrs. Evans when the
maintenance suit comes to trial.
The appellate court decision was
written by Justice Justin Miller
Justices Henry w. Edgerton and
Thurman Arnold heard the case
with him. Mrs. Evans is repre-
sented by Attorneys Jean M. Board.
