DIVORCES FOR THREE WOMEN Granted in Superior Court—Two Husbands Were Unfaithful and the Other Left on Thanksgiving Eve in 1901—One Case Continued for More Evidence. Three divorces, in each case on the petition of the wife, were granted by Judge William L. Bennett in the su- perior court at New London on day morning. All were on the contested list. Fri- un- Deserted on Thanksgiving Eve. On the grounds of desertion since 28, 1901, Nellie Enos Strickland ew London was given a divorce from Frank H, Strickland of New London. She was also alloweq to re- sume her maiden name of Enos. They were married on January 31, 1895, in New London, by Rev. S. Leroy Blake. When placed on the stand by her attorney, Clayton B. Smith, Mrs. Strickland testified that she first be- zan to have trouble with her hus- band because of habitual intemperas about a year and a half after their marriage. In the next few vears she left him three times on this account, returning each time on the hope that he would do better. On Thanksgiving eve in 1901 he came home drunk and they had words and her husband struck her. ~That night he left her, after taking some of her valuables. He had previously been arrested for lar- ceny. Her testimony was corroborated by her mother, Eleanor Enos, with whom she had lived since the separation, Evidence of Misconduct, Carrie E. Smith, of Groton, whose maiden name was Judd, was granted a divorce from Amos Smith of New London, to whom she was married on April 6, 1911. The ceremony was per- formed at New London by Justice of the Peace Perry J. Hollandersky. She was also allowed to resume her maiden name of Judd. The divorce was sought on the grounds of adultery with Edna Ed- wards at New London between Jan. 1, 1912, and June 11, 1914. A certified copy of the birth record of a daugh- ter to Edna Lewis at New London on April 21, 1914, was among the papers in the case. In the certificate the name of the child’'s father was given as Amos Smith of New London. The case was continued from last Friday for further evidence. At that time Mrs, Smith testified that her hus- band had admitted to her that he had been living with another woman by whom he had a child, but Judge Ben- nett declined to grant the divorce on the admission of the husband, Friday morning Mrs, Grace B. Mer- cier testified to renting a tenement to Mr. Smith and a woman who he said was Mrs. Smith. She had visited Mr. and Mrs. Smith on one occasion when Mrs. Smith had given birth to a child. The petitioner who was in court was asked to stand and Mrs. Mercier was asked if she was the woman who had given birth to the child, to which the witness replied in the negative. - Mrs, Mercier was the only witness whom' Attorney J. C. Geary called to the stand Friday morning at_the conclusion of her testimony Judge Ben- nett granted the divorce, Husband in State’s Prison. On the grounds that William Henry Dennis_had committed an _infamous crime involving violation of conjugal duty for which he was sentenced to state’s prison on Oct. 1, 1913 for not less than two nor more than three years, Ella G. Dennis of Norwich, whose maiden name was Proctor, was granted a divorce from him. They were married on Aug. 16, 1900, and have three children, of which the mother was given custody. Attorney Charles F. Thayer appeared for Mrs. Dennis. More Evidence Wanted. Judge Bennett next heard the case of Thomas F. Maher of Norwich against Agnes E. Maher of Syracuse, alleging desertion. There are two children. Mr, and Mrs. Maher were married June 21, 1900. Maher testified that he was em- ployed in the Hopkins & Allen shops in Norwich, residing at the Y. M. C. A. and teaching dancing as a side is- sue. He said his wife left him about three years ago. On that occasion his wife went to visit a sister in New York, taking their daughter with her and after she had been there abou* a week he received a letter from his wife stating that she did not intend to come back to Norwich. He wrote ask- ing her to come back, but she never replied. He had heard that she was now in Rochester, where she was liv- ing with another man, Two other witnesses, fellow employes of Maher, testifieq that he was not || living with his wife, Judge Bennett inquired of Maher if he had the letter which his wife wrote him and the petitioner replied that he had been unable to find it having mislaid it. Judge Bennett stated that mo testi- mony had been introduced to cor- roborate the desertion and hé would continue ‘the case to permit of intro- ducing further evidence.
