Three Given Decrees in Superior Court—Wmnm Hnd to Work Barge Pumps For Her Hulbmd—Another Had | Her Life Threatened With an Oar, ' ’ An Occasion of Splendid- Out of the five uncontested divorces on the list for the short calendar ses- sioni of the superior court here on Friday morning the desired decrees of paration from their marital partners were secured by three of the petition- ers. The other two cases went off the list. In all the cases in which di- vorces were granted the wives were the petitioners and habituai intemper- ance, intolerable cruelty- and desertion figured as the causes on which they brought their petitions and secured their divorces. Ella Danlels Closson of New don, whose husband, Wilbert J. son, has left for parts unknow:. was given a divorce from him on _the grounds of intolerable cruelty, whic it was claimed had begun on or about Jan. 1, 1900.. They were married a year before that in February at New London by Rev. John F. Tucker. At that time Mr. Closson gave his resi- dence as Bucksport, Maine. The pe- titioner was also given the right to resume her maiden name of Ella Dan- iel Lou- Clos- t was the wife's testimony that her | husband was a barge captain and she had traveled on the barges with him. | It was her husband’s habit to throw | her out of bed when she had fainting ! spells-and pinch her. He forced her to | work as a deckhand at times and she | had to work the pumps or haul the | yopes, and if she refused her husband | would beat her with a shovel. Mrs, Emma Weir, a sister of the| plaintiff, testified inat Mrs. Closson | now worked in a mill 'in 2 London, and_another’ sister, Miss Nellie M nard, testified that she passed a week with Capt. and Mrs. Closson on a barge | here -and she . saw Captain Closson | abuse his wife. One time she helped | her sister work the pumps while the captain went to bed and slept. Laura Catherine Epps of Groton, whose maiden name was Satterflield, charged her husband, John Epps of Groton, with habitual intemperance for more than five years past and was x ’n a divorce with the custody of their four -children, aged 14, 12,-10 and 7. | There wus algo the charge of “intol- ! erable cruelty made in the complaint, - but not pressed. The ¢ouple were mar- b ried on the last day' of Ducember,, 1875 Mrs. Epps_testified ‘that they were married in- Norfolk, Va., and ‘eight of their eleven children are living. Sh said her husband is drunk a.gogd.part of the time and that he beats-her and comes home drunk and breaks . the dishes. One time he tried to kill her with an oar. Her husband once left her and went to Pennsylvania and she _ had to go out and do housework to support the children. She had stood her husband's drunkenness,’ she said, for 37 years, and he is now in the New London jail for being drunk. Prosecuting Attorney Warren Bur- rows of the Groton town court testified to the appearance of Epps before the court more than once and to his com- mitment to the Norwich state hospital on_one oceasion. i Constable Charles H. Card of Groton also testified to his arrest of Epps and Arthur B. Ennis of Boston testified to | the dissipated habits of the man. Desertion since Sept. 5, 1910, follow- ing their marriage w the grounds up M, Hart of New London was granted | divorce from George F. ljart of the! same place. The mother was g:ien | the custody of a daughter | Mrs, Hart testified that her husband had never come back when he left her mother’s home in Noank to go to a drug store to get some medicine for his wife who was sick. She said her husband never fully supported her vhile he was with her. She worked in silk mill and a restaurant in New London and is now working in a hotel there. | Hart's mother, Mrs. M. M. Win- oank, corroborated her daugh- account’ of the disappearance of Hart. George E. Main of Noank, who works with a brother of the piaintiff, said he had known Mrs. Hart for 14 years, but knew little of Mr. Hart.

A Single Applivation | Banishes Hairy Growths (Toilet Talks) Much interest is manifested among beauty specialists in the new, painless traetment for superfluous hairs. This | consists of a paste which is made with a little. powdered delatone and water and applied to the objectionable hairs for about 2 or 8 -minutes, then rubbed off. Following this treatment the skin should be washed to remove the re- maining paste and it will be left free from hair or blemish. Care should be used to see that it is delatone you get, otherwise the result may be disap- pointing.
