Marie Dudley Mcfarland, 10, o1
New Bern, was granted divorce
here Monday in Craven Superior
court from Earl Jackson McFar'

tence at Washington following con.
viction on charges of crininally
assaulting and numbering Dorothy
Berrum, 10, war department clerk,
on a golf course in the national
capital on Oct. 6, 1914.
The grounds for the divorce were
based on the criminal assault
charge, and the ex-Marine's ap-
peal to a higher court from the
death sentence was used by the
wife's attorney as evidence in the
local action. Judge J. Paul Fritz
zelle of Snow Hill granted the di-
vorce.
Mcfarland married the New
Bernian on May 6, 1912, after an
eight-months' court ship here,
shortly before he left Camp Lee
jeune with the First Marine Divi-
sion for the Pacific. Upon his re-
turn to this country, he visited his
wife frequently after being as
signed to duty in Washington. Their
only child died within a week after
his birth during August, 1914.
