The contested divorce suit of Jo- hanna Paracenti of this city against John Paracenti of New York was started in the superior court in New London Wednesday morning. The pe- titioner asks for divorce on the | §rounds of adultery. When court came in shortly after 10 o’clock Attorney Roderick M. Douglass for defendant.stated to the court that Paracenti had been unable to come to New London Wednesday on account He had been notifled of the fact only that morning. He stated that he woud withdraw from the case or would follow any other course Pudge Reed suggested that in view of the fact that the plaintiff was ready to go on with the case it might be well to take the testimony of the plaintiff's side then and hear the defendant at some future short calendar session, probably Friday of next week. Attor- ney Douglass stated that the arrange- ment wa: torney sented.

Testimony for the plaintiff was com- pleted in the afternoon and the defend- | ant's side will be heard at a later date. Suit Over a Note. When the Paracenti case had gone as far as it could In the absence of the defendant, the court started the trial of the case of John T. Edmond against Warren Randall.
