O. Brown of the district court last evening. The decision awarded Mrs. Lulu Gerritsen a decree of absolute dl- vorce, custody of her four minor chil- dren, and the costs of the action. This decision was in spite of the fact that the petition for divorce was brought by Andrew Gerritsen, who charged that he had been deserted by his wife four years ago. Sordid detail of family estrange ment introduced into the case vied with the story told by Mrs. Gerritsen of her uphill fight to rear her chil- dren after her husband had left her at Boulder, Colo., October 19, 1917, without having made any effort to provide for her children. During the four years that she has lived separate from her husband Mrs. Gerritsen through frugality and bust- ness ability has accumulated a com- petency amounting to $25,000 and has many assets, including a prosperous restaurant in Boulder; Colo. The husband in filing his action, asked for a distribution of the prop erty which he clatimed was equally his, although it developed during the trial that when he had Ifet his fam- fly 1n-1917 that they, were in, very poor circumstances. He also asked for @ decree of absolute divorce and for custody of the children. All of hiis requests were denied, and the decision rendered in favor of Mrs. Gerritsen. The costs of the action, in- cluding the attorney's fee of t! fendant action was charged against Mr. Gerritsen. Mra. Gerritsen’s case was handled by, Attorney M. W. Purcell, Attor- neys Alex B.
