She is a graduate of the Greenville high school, Christmas shoppers. She did not discover her loss until late Wednesday she com Desmond, and a young woman of great populariy in her circle. Yet Mr. Dameree, less than a week after marriage, has returned to his hcme without his bride, and the story he tells has as- tounded his fellow-townsmen. Demareve is a wealthy contractor anda builder, now engaged in building a new Presbyterian church in Greenville. He: is 15 years older than his bride,- and has been married twice before. In his home town he is regarded as sufficiently mature and staid, not to say experienced in the matri- monial line, to guard himself against “freak’’ alliances, and this but serves to render his story the more unusual. Demares, in a highly excited frame of mind, returned to Greenville yesterday, and declared that his wife, whom he left in Rushville, Ill., exercised a hypnotic in- fluence over him which made it impossible for him to resist marrying her. Ho says Miss Thompeon boarded the train on which he started for St. Louis and compelled him to go to Clayton and be married.

About 10’clock a loud explosion was heard and several shots were fired around the public square. Most of the citizens who heard the noise supposed it was boys celebrating Christmas and paid no atten- tion to it. Oscar Busch, a hardware dealer, tiving across the street, thought the bank was being robbed, but when he went to the window to look out was covered by a revolver and forced to keep quiet. The work was complete, the vault door and the safe was completely wrecked as was the whole interior of the bank. The glass front of the building was also de- etroyed. . Nitro-glycerine was the explosive used. The entrie contents of the safe was taken. By 2 o’clock the work was done and the men Iecft town, walking to the east F. W.

The bank carried $10,000 insurance against burglary. There is 10 clew to the robbers. bt they were professionals. About 50 shots were fired to terrorize any person who might want to venture out. Some say seyen men were seen around town between 12 and 1 o'clock, but Mr. Busch says but two men left the bank after the robbery. Sheriff Brush said today that he was asleep when the robbery took piace. He heard the explosion and the pistol shot, but thought it was ‘“‘Christmas doings.’’ It was ascertained today that the robbers stole a horse from Henry Soph and car- ried their booty away on the animal. They loaded the greenbacks, gold and sil- ver into a bag and threw it across the back of the horse and one of them rode away on the horse. It is thought they all had horses hitched in waiting at the edge of the town. SCULPTURE CH HAS QUIT HIS POST —_—-_-—_—- »> —___—_ F..W. RUCKSTUHL SAYS ISSAC W. .

The tutor, who is tall, slender and dell- cate, most elegant in manners and as sor- rowful In mien as any poet, made it abso- lutely plain that he was profoundly in love with the crown princess and intended to marry her as soon as possible. He is the son of an army officer and bears him- self like a thorough gentleman, “{ met the crown princess at Zurich,’’ said he. ‘‘We originally intended stop ing at Geneva, only that we might purchase outfits, as we were without even a change of underelothing. “We had noped to go on to Mento ne" France, as Geneva is exceedingly cold, we feared that the foreign police maleht ve us up should Saxony request our ex- adition.

The réason why the Crown Princess left her husband was because she was unhappy at the Saxon court, among its irksome for- malities. She was not allowed to laugh without permission from the Crown Prince, who is unintelligent, slovenly in his ways, and a peasaiut all over, while the Crown Princess is highly . talented and dis- tin ished. feel deeply with the Crown Princess in her separation from her children, who are sweet, filled with natural affection, ungsel- fish and capable of great things under sym- pathetic conditions. “They alone she was sorry to leave: but she hopes that when the separation is pro- rounced she will see them, though, of course, the Saxon court will do all in its power to prevent her from doing so. “The crown princess feels no repentance, with the assistance of friends. A physician at Rushville wired to ascer- tain if Demaree was at Greenville. That was shortly after his arrival home, and it deepened the mystery. Demaree is an Odd Fellow, and his lodge is investigating his story. It is said in Greenville that Demarce ordered a carriage sent to the country to bring Miss Thompscn into the town before starting for St. Louis. Miss Thompson's numerous friends at Greenville are much distressed and per- plexed over the matter. They Incline to un- qualified disbellef in Demaree’s tale.

Mr. Stultz this morning. “I regarded them as a refined couple and thought the man was to be congratulated. ‘‘The bride is a very beautiful woman and while in my house she conducted her- self with quiet modesty that gave me a most favorable impression. She is much finer-looking than the man she married. “It was between 6 and 7 o'clock last Saturday night that Mr. Demaree and Miss Thompson were married. I was in my study in the church. My boy came over and said that a couple were in the par- lor. “I walked into. the house, noticing a car- riage out in front.

COMMENCED CHRISTMAS EVE ’ “THIS COINCIDENCE SAID TO BE : AN UNUSUAL ONE. Eight Days of Rejoicing Commemorate Expulsion of Assyrians From Pal- estine and Recovery of “Ev- erlasting Light.” Simultaneously with the beginning of fes- tivities Christmas Eve, there began in St. Louls and in many other cities another celebration in honor of deeds which are still lauded, although performed 1600 years before the Christian era. It is called Chanukah, the feast of light, and is par- ticipated in by faithful Hebrews the world over. It is believed to have been cele- brated oftener and with more uniformity than the ceremonies of Christmastide. From Palestine to the antipodes, Chan- wkah feast is observed, but it seldom be- gins on Christmas Eve, as it did this year. It takes place with great reguiarity on the 25th day of Kissev, the ninth month, which this year happened to coincide with the month of December It has been a long time since the two days were identical before. The festival of Chanukah does not par- take of the sanctity of many other Jewish ceremonies, but in some respects it has almost as much solemuity. Nevertheless, it is regarded as a season of merry-mak- ing, and ‘“‘Chaukah parties" are being held by the congregations of all the synagogues iu St. Louis. Its origin, according to tradition, par- takes of the miraciilous and of the he- roic. Two centuries before the Christian é¢ra the Jews were greatly harassed by the Assyrian king. Antiochus Epiphanes. This wicked monarch sought to extirpate the Hebrew religion and to desecrate the temples- by placing Assyrian and other pa- gan idols in them. _ The Jews made a brave resistance, but ‘the Assyrian army was many times larger than that of the Jews. The war of per- — @ecution had been going on for _ Many years, and King Antiochus _ Epiphanes had sent tho power of his army against the Jows. In the temples in Palestine one of the most revered parts of che ritual was the “everlasting light,’ which was kept con- stantly burning.as an emblem of lL:fe eter- nal : , ¢ REJOICED OVER VICTORY. The Assyrian host looted the temple, and ‘when at length the Jews returnéd there was a terrific battls in which a clan known as the Maccabeans routed a force of many times their number and drove the Assy- Inscribed upon the Banner Of this brave little band of men and early bann@ie"of the race then were the letters which are the ia tor the oT words mcaning, = ‘Likes Unto Goa?” 3 ‘ ‘these let ers that the well- known modern name, ‘‘“Maccabeans,”’ is de- rived. After the victory there was a great re- Joicing. Among the first acts of the jubl- lant little arrny was to enter their temp!:, Which, although dismantled, had been left gtanding. The Jewish soldiers desired to give thanks to Ged for the successful ter- - mination of the war. ' But the everlasting light was out. One of the requisites for that light was @ certain kind of oll, which bad to be oon- secrated by the high priest.

He Shot the Béast Three Times Before It Gave Up—It Weighed Twenty-Four Pounds. At Alton Christmas eve a merry party was interrupted by the inirusion of a wiid- cat that hid in the kitchen of Sidney Rey- burn's house. The guests were playing cards and laughing when they heard a noise and went into the kitchen to find out what it was. Reyburn caught sight of an animal crouching in one corner of the room, and by the faint light, which shone through the crack in the door, he mistook it for a coon. The moment he moved toward it with a broom in his hand he discovered his mis- take. There was a series of growls, and a lot of angry “spitting’’ made Reyburn decide not to attack such a vicious ani- mal until he obtained firearms. He went back to his guests and told them he had a& strange customer in his kitchen. It was an animal, he said, but he did not know to what species it belonged. When he returned with his revolvef the door leading into the kitchen was opened wide. Backed up in one corner was one of ' party had ever seen. Its green eyes fairiy flashed fire, and its short ears twitched back and forth in anger. The cat knew it was cornered and was more than willing to fight for its life. It paced back and forth. growiing, and now and then making a feint as if it would advance. There are two large domestic cats in the Reyburn househod, but these tabbies ny found places of concealment when ¥ heard the first screech of the ugly visitor. Reyburn was overwhelmed with advice from his guests, all of whom were wy & = another room while he was ao io face with an enraged wildcat ” oe cided that he would act upon his original plan, and made no attempt to capture the animal alive, as some of his rash friends advised him to do. ing careful aim, he put a 44-caliber bullet through the wildcat's head. The bal! went through the brain and paralyzed cer- tain parts of the animal's v, o'herwise Reyburn m'ght not have come off unscathed. As it was, he shot the beast twice more before it expired. When the carcass was weighed it tipped the scales at 24 pounds, and o'd-timers say they never saw a wildcat so big. Reyburn will have a handsome cap made of the pelt. ‘‘Boro-Formaltin” (Eimer & Amend) used antiseptic, cleansing mouth and toothwash, is unsurpassed.

HENCE IT IS SENT TO HAGUE THE PRESIDENT’S NOTE TS SENT TO ITALY. Identical Communication Transmitted to Germany and Great Britain, the Other Powers Concerned in Settlement of the Dispute. ROME, Dec. 27.—Ambassador Meyer today prsented to the foreign office President Rvosevelt’s note on the subject of Venezuelan arbitration. The President says that although he is very gratified at the confidence the powers have shown in him by choosing him as arbitrator, which position he would have accepted if there were no other means of solving the ques- tion, he thinks it better to submit the case to The Hague tribunal, especially as all the powers concerned are willing. The President adds that as there is no question of national honor or cession of erution and in accord with ail the powers concerned who have shown an honorable spirit’. of mutual consideration and modera- tion, Hé is glad to be informed that they have all agreed to submit the question to The Hague tribunal. The significant thing in Mr. Réosevelt’s note is the reference to the fact that no question of cession of territory is involved, hence the Monroe doctrine is not in jeog ardy. The inference is plain that he wou. regard the cession of any part of Venezuela to Germany or England in payment of Castro’s debts as a violation of the law laid down by Monroe, A similar note was, of course, sent to London and Berlin. MS, ABERNATHY ASLEEP FOREY She Died at 6 O'Clock This Morning. Mrs. James Abernathy of 4313 North Mar- ket street, who slept for seven days and who has been semi-conscious since three weeks ago last Friday, died at her home at 6 o'clock this morning. She passed away peacefully, the transl- tlon from life to dea:h being scarcely no- ticeable. Her husband was the only per son at her bedside when she died. Dr. Jo seph Kk. Chanwers, the physician who has been attending her, was not present. The last time Dr. Chambers saw her was yesterday afternoon. He told the husband dnat Mrs. Abe.naihy could not be saved She had a lesion of the brain, he said, anu the fact that she had been in a state o! coma so long showed that the disease wa- running its course, He said that it was sure to end fatally. Ever since last midnight it was apparent to Mr. James Abernathy that his wife wou.d ive but a few hours longer. She breatheu with great difficuity. At 6 o’ciock, while he was sitting by hertbhed, she sighed twice and then life passed away. Mr. Abernathy hurriediy summoned his neighbors, Mrs. Joseph Burger, 4315 North Market street, and Mrs. Louis Peters, 4317 North Market street, Re | had left the Abernathy home at 5 o’clock last evening, 3 ag having spent a long vigil at her bed- side Mrs. Abernathy's first uninterrupted sleep period lasted seven days, when she pariia:- ly regained consciousness. She was abe to sit up in bed but she could not con- verse intelligibly, merely beng able to make her wants known by nodding her head when questions were asked her. Christmas Eve she lapsed back into a total.y unconscious state. Sinte then she has had a few moments of lucid intervals at times, but she has never been able to describe her symptoms nor to speak intel igibly. When she ded her countenance was a and it is believed she suffered no pain. A. M. E. Mission Services.

We observe that the Ryan management of*the Newport track is taking steps to bring about racing at that plant. It is pop- wlarly supposed that *the game hrs been continuing there for some days. This ap- pears to be a mistake. Dispatches today state that racing there was made possible by the introduction of a steel cutter to the hard track. Our suggestion for promoting racing at that plant would be the introduction of a hypodermic syringe into some of the ani- mals performing. Two of the questions of national interest which will probably remain unanswered are “Who struck Billy Patterson?” and “Why fe the National League?” Jockey Ben Rigby, the St. Louis boy who returned from a riding career in France recently, says that the trouble into which Jockeys Milton Henry and Johnny tirely due to the American touts, who started suspicion of the American boys’ riding by stating to “clients’’ that they had the jockey in-certain faces all fixed. Our inference is that the ‘“‘toufs’” must be new to France or the people there would be familiar with their mypthods. We are thinking of investigating this fact there is really a place in the world so virgin as never to have known a tout, we would like to go there. We might make a little money ourself.

Jack was the faithful dog of No. 25's fire engine house at Sixteenth and Mullan- phy streets. He was the only dog in St. Louis that could climb a telegraph pole. Many other accomplishments he had, but this one most endeared him to his human associates dur- ing all the 12 years of his career as a bull terrier. bs For Jack lived all his life at the engine house. First as a puppy, mewling and whining, frisking gaily at times, next as a sprightiy yearling pup, given to fur- ious barking and addicted to a _ basso growl; then as a mature and settied dog, educated and useful; and lastly in his lean| and tooth!iess detage, dozing away the de- clining days of his life—these were some of the seven ages of Jack. Foreman Jack Savers and the men of No. 25 laid away his mortal remains this after- roon in a grave dug at the rear of the en- gine house. The body was neatly coffined in a pine box. The whole fire company was present, and aynonument was suggested. TIED OF OLD AGE. Jazk died of old age. He was tenderly cared for, but the fatal decrepitude of time crept upon him and he died. For a radius of a mile around the engine house Jack was a well-known character. ‘7. ’ rn . ~*~ Chousands of citizens jong ago became fa- miliar with the white bull terrier, one side of wnose face was brown. ————SOoTeer eS WEST ENDERS IN COURT |W.

His associate members of No. 25 did their best toward making him understand that he was a fireman, but the dog seemed to prefer the life of a patrolman with a reg- ular beat. That was more exciting than lying around the engine house waiting for the gong to strike. HE WALKED A BEAT. Patrolman Garvey, who for a long time walked the beat that includes the engine 'house, had no chance to get lonesome. Jack accompanied him on his rounds, a two-mile walk, and guarded well the dis- trict. A large policeman and a large’ bull- dog made a constabulary combination that siruck terror to the hearts of evil-doers. Later Jack was on duty with Patrofman Carpenter, the present incumbent of the beat, but finally the dog grew so old that he welcomed the privilege of staying at the engine house. Barty in his career Jack used to run to fires with the old machine, but he did not stay to do active service, not being called upon to handle a nozzle. The dog would run back and guard the engine house. When the gong would ring for a fire it was Jack’s custom to leap outside before the swift horses could get out with the en- gine. Jack’s hark stopped street cars be- fore the motormen heard the c’ang of the driver’s gong. When the bulldog rushed out and made a great to do street car men knew there was a fire and that the engine would follow Jack in a few seconds. } CLIMBED TELEGRAPH POLE.

The most sensational play at faro bank 80 far during the winter took place Tnrurs- day night at the Kentucky Club. D. J. Fairchild of California entered the house at 10 o'clock. He said to Henry Peyser, one of the proprietors, that he had been ac- customed to a larger limit in the West than he had been able to get at Hot Springs. “We have never yet turned a man away from this club,” said Peyver, “on account of a disagreement on that score.” The limit being arranged, Fairchild bought $5000 worth of checks at $1000 a stack and began to play, betting the limit both on doubles and cases from the start. lots of the smaller fry were playing when Fairchild began. °They soon cashed their checks and gathered with many others around the table to watch the game.

With his general abil- ity he might really do something excellent, if he only went to work—make a firstrate insurance agent or a successful sales- man.”’ “Paes Mr. Smith the pepper, James,” Miss Lord said to the butler, who thought Mr. Smith had pepper enough. ‘“‘What do you think of Mr. Pike, now, Mr. John- son?” “Oh, he’s awful!"’ replied Johnson. ‘““‘Why does he do it? Can’t someone stop him?’ Thus it went along the table, and most of Mr. Pike’s friends severely criticized his literary efforts. At last, Miss Lord in- vited her guests fnto the drawing room, where she introduced her butler, who re- moved his wig and stood forth fully re- vealed as Poet Pike. “T win,” sald Mr. Pike, and Miss Lord paid the wager. This suggests a means of doing away with undesirable bards. The Society of Elimination of Unsuccessful Poets might take the cue, Persons who make up their minds to commit murder and suicide will confer a favor on the public if they will let the murder take the place in their modus operand! corresponding to the pudding at a dinner.

Old Santa has been reported badly or fatally burned many times by the treach- erous little candle, but somehow he always recovers and comes around on time next Christmas Pve. ‘ ' | Grinsand: eh?

POST DISPATCH HE WANTED SOME “’AM.” ~ An Englishman with his wife and 12-year- old son, all lately over, went into an Olive street restaurant the other day for lunch. After looking over the bill of fare the father asked: “ Arry, what will you "ave?”’’ ‘I think I’ ‘ave some ‘am,” an- swered the boy. “My son, I have often told you not to say ‘*am,’ you should say ‘fam.’ “Papa, I did ‘"am,’ replied ee say you did not say ‘’am,’ you said ‘‘am.’"’ Some people near who had heard the conversation began to snicker. “Dear, dear,’’ interposed the mother, wishing to put an end to the conversation that gave no evidence of being settled by father and son. “You have both been saying ‘’am’ all the time and you really thought you were saying ‘’am.’”’ CLEARED THE TRACK. You can see things in St. Louis that you can’t see anywhere else in the werld. This is true of pretty nearly every other city on earth, but a scene witnessed the othep day on Poplar street, between Fourth and Broadway; was out of the ordinary. It had been raining and the ground was slippery. A team of four horses came along drawing a great load of coal. As the team reached the middle of the block one of the wheels went Into a hole, the Iikes of which are seen in no other city except. St. Louls, and the team came to a standstill. The driver resorted to the ordinary meth- ods. The whip and a choice variety of expletives were used, but to no avall. The horses pulled, but they couldn’t start the wagon. At th's juncture along came a Terminal company engine. The wogan was 60 close to the track that the engineer was in doubt as to his ability to pass it. 8o he didn't try. Instead he stopped and held a briet session with the driver of the team. Any One overhearing it might have thought that he was angry. But not so. He was simply preparing a surprise for the driver. Then he called up the switchman to lift up the long coup- ling tron that hangs down over the cow- catcher. Putting this against the hind axle of the wagon he opened the throttle. In just about two minutes the four-horse load of coal was ao its way comforta- bly up Broadway and the track was clear. P A BARGAIN HAT. The feminine bargain instinct comes young. Her name is Louise Medora McClelland. She is a dainty miss of 3, with light#brown hair, bonny ways and ag lives at 4337 Cook ave- nue. Her mother re- turned from one of the big downtown stores the other day with a choice crea- tion In the shape of a very protty hat for the little daughter Louise was eréatly elated with the new possession. “Maruma. may I down and show it to grandpa?’ she pleaded. Permis- sion was granted, and the child proudly wa'bed away, as con- scious as any older belle that she looked perfectly stunning in the new headgear. “Grandpapa,”’ {s Chief Deputy Clerk Jef- frey of the circuit clerk's office He lives at £% Cook avenue. 3 There was a chorus of exclamations from grandpapa and grandma when Louise en- tered. ' “Such a pretty hat. dear,” said grand- mamma. ““‘Who got it for you?” ; “Mamma buyed it downtown,” said the radiant vision. “Yes."’ chimed in erandpapa, have cast lots of money.” “Such a bargain,” loftily replied the little one. ‘“I'wo dollars, reduced from five.” ' 4am ‘it must mittees, My observation convinces me generous eff and those of all &t. serv> the than as able to provide hel ree Ep tan y se such criti Now, su in all such criticisms confirms the view you and contributors have In wig. - Coritannn pane n all the néver seen so orderly @ wos, nave —_— such crowds ttle c a all sides the walters Sy hes yy ful messages.

Police Ask That In quest Be Postponed. & : 3 FOUR PERSONS ARE HELD SAM LEVI, NEGRO, SWEATED BY CHIEF DESMOND. Man and Woman Known as Mr. and Mrs. Niver, Who Live Above Moog’s Store Were Ar- rested Yesterday. The coroner's inquest over the body of John Moog, who was found Wednesday night in his little cigar store, 1044 South Fourth street, with his throat cut, was postponed this forenoon until Monday. The postponement was requested by the police, who expect to have new develop- ments by that time to present to the coro- ner’s jury. Although four persons are under deten- tion by the police department and a blood-stained hatchet is said to have been found by detectives, the mystery of the murder is as deep {f not as unfathom- able as ever. Sam Levi, a negro, 1417 Mar- ket street, :s the latest person detained and it is asserted the hatchet was found in Levi's room. Chief of Detectives Desmond spent all forenoon in sweating the suspects, with the exception of Dawson, who ts no longer in custody, and after the ordeal was finished the chief said he had learned nothing which would teni to fasten the crime upon any- oné. He added that he did not intend to discharge the prisoners until scme investi- gations were made, but his manner indi- catei he was not hopeful of bringing the murder home to anyone under arrest at present. The statements of the negro, Levi, however, have not been investigated yet. ARRESTED YESTERDAY. Levi was arrested by Patrolman Chris- mer Friday evening at a Warber shop where Levi is employed. He was takén directly to the Four Courts and Detec- tives Sullivan and Hageman were sent out to ascertain the negro’s record. They learned he formerly worked in a barber shop which was then located next door to Moog’s cigar shop and that presumably he knew it was the old man’s habit to keep a conside.ible sum of money in the tin box which is missing. The detectives say that Levi's broth- er was a porter in a clubroom adjacent to Moog’s store and often went there for cigars. In this way the police believe | Levi would have become sufficiently well acquainted witn Moog to induce Moog to vpen the door for him at night. It is algo said they waved a white jacket when they wanted to be admitted. It is thought that the bills which Patrol- man Joplin on many occasions has seen in Moog’s tin box, gave rise to a theory among the neighbors that Moog was a wealthy man. While he was not penurious Moog was frugal and .had been in busi- ness 2 years for ~himself, consequently no one who knew him doubts that he had more money than the $6 which was found undisturbed in the till after the murder. NIVERS ALSO DETAINED. Earl Niver ard Stala Niver, sometimes called Jessie Gillespie are also detained by the police. They lived above Mooxg's store, and the woman is the one who dis- covered Moog's door was unlocked, and, re- gardivg that as a strange thing, instituted a search for him, which resulted in his being found. The foundation of the suspicions the po- lice entertain against the couple is the dif- ferent stories they are said to tell about two wounds on Niver’s head. These in- juries are very slight. One is a bruise on his scalp, and the other a mere abrasion of the skin on nis nose. Niver said he got the bruise by falling down in the A. B. C. Garden, while Mrs. Niver declares he told hér a policeman hit him with a club. The seratch on the nose Niver said he got while scuffling with Mrs. Niver, but she denied that. George Dawson, 108 Scuth Fourth street, the first person to be taken into custody, has been set ‘ree. James Barber, a negro, 312 Clark ene is another person who is detained. Policernan Joplin, who has talked with Mong almost every day for four years, ex- plains the finding of the keys on the nail by saying that after Moog opened the door to adroit the aseassin he placed the keys in their usual place before the first blow was struck. He declares no one will ever know how much money there was in that tin box, but it was considerable, and may have been in the thousands. Many who are not familiar with the cost of 6perating mines are very skeptica] re- mining enterprise, properly conducted by dividends for the reason that the cost of production is comparatively small. For in- stance, the Homestake Mine owned by the Hearst estate, it is said, paid §# cents per share for the past 24 years from the sale of ore that averaged only $8 per ton. Ore taken from the Victor Mine, owned by the California-Nevada Mining Co., it is claimed, averages $40 to the ton, five times higher grade than that of the Homestake. The company say they have already paid six monthly dividends of 1 per cent on the par value, BOKA IN CRITICAL CONDITION. Dr. Nietert Thinks He is Too Weak to Stand Operation.

FINAL DECREE TO UPON GOOD BEHAVIOR. Cover Cases of Other Indictments Against Men Sentenced to Prison. A radical amendment to the present dl- vorce law of Missouri has been recom- mended to the State Legislature by ine judges of the state, who met at the St. Louis Courthouse Friday. The principal change advocated is that a divorce should be made provisional when granted and become permanent at the ex- piration of one year, if the conduct of the applicant has been good during that inter- val. Another provision advocated is that the defendant be not allowed to marry until three years have ciapsed after has been granted: that in cases where no defense is made the defendant he aiiowed to make reply and contest tne case ai any time during the year of probation. By this innovation the judges hope to do amar with hasty remarriages aiter di- vorcess have been granted and to preveat collusion on the part of persons who seck to saver the legal bonds of marriage ior ulterior purposes. Only last week a prominent society wé6m- an of wealth serured an uncontested dai- vorce from her husband, and an hour iater wedded .another. Should the Legislatu:e embody the suggestion of the jucages in the divorce law, a year would have to elapse before a successful piaintiff could assume new marital reiations. The year of probation would also be a bar to immediate marriage and do away with perplexing situations should a defend- ant secure new evidence which would jus- tify the trial judge in setting aside the di- vcrcee decree. The state judiciary will also request the Legislature to adopt some measure to pro- vide for the disposition of crimina)] cases where the defendant is under sentence pending an appeal and must answer to a second indictment. This complication was called to the notice of the judges b boodiing charges has been indefinitely post- conviction before the Supreme Court on an appeal. f this sentence is affirmed th second trial] doubt.ess will not take place until Butler serves his sentence or is par- doned If the Su sentence he will case can be reached on the docket.
