Tuttle in the superior court vesterday five were from this section of the county and three from New Britain, Chief interest was centered in the cases of Mrs. Esther A. John- son Carter of Plainville and Edwin H. Elton of Bristol. When they were reached Judge Tuttle inquired of At- torney Noble E. Pierce, counsel for both, if the cases were not analogous and about which there had been con- siderable newspaper notoriety. Mr. Pierce said they were and introduced The story she told is familiar to dealt Irving B. Carter early in February, 1914, with Mr. Elton's”wife, their re- turn a week later in a penitent mood and their second and final departure November 14, last year. Mrs. ‘Car- ter told Judge Tuttle that her hus- band admittea on his return that he and Mrs. Elton were registered as man and wife while away and further questioned whether he still cared for her replied “Yes, T love her and I'll love her as long I live, as long as there’s a breath in my body.” After the second elopement she got a let- ter from Mrs. Elton saying she loved Mr. Carter better than she did her own husband. That was the last she had heard of the couple. Mr, Elton, who accompanied Mrs. Carter to the trial and sat with her during the court proceedings, also testified concerning the elopement of his wife and Carter, He identified postal cards found in his house after the second elopement. They were written by Carter and werce of an affectionate character Ile w. married August 4, 1904, but no child- ren were horn to the union. Mrs. Car- ter has one child. a son ed seven.

The first case was brought by Louise Istelle Roberts against Edmund Pet- er Rober They were married in this cit smber 9, 1911, A month | later Roberts deserted his wife and went to Minnesota. Both worked in factories and on the morning of the desertion left home together. Mrs. Roberts supposed he was bound for work, but he never came home again. She heard he had gone west and that last summer had returned to the city. | ! | | | | | 1 | Roberts, when living with his wife, was drunk a good deal of the time and wouldn't work, she told the judge. Mrs. Roberts was given her decree and the right to resume her maiden name, which was Gussman. Louise M. Groat was divorced from Robert C. Groat on the ground of d sertion and habitual intemperance They were married October 11, 1902, and she left him in July, 1907 because there was no food in the house and he | told her if she did not like ('Ondltionwi to get out Neighbors brought food to | her and the two children.
