FIVE DIVORGES WERE GRANTED InSupefianotm—Fo.ur Petitioners Were Illtreated and De- i serted Wives—Soldier Proved a Brutal Husband—New. London Man Found His Wife Living With Another Man. Five divorce cases came before Judge Gardiner Greene in the superior court here on Friday afternoon, all un- contested, and all were granted. In four out of five cases, the peitioners nvere the ill-treated wives, while in the other case it was the husband who roved legal grounds for divorce. Ow- rng to the length of time consumed in the short calendar business, the di- ‘worce cases were not reached until gbout 4 o'clock in the afternoon and it was 6.15 before they were finished with court adjourned till next Tues- day. = Deserted In a Few Months. The first divorce case taken up was that of Maria A. Coit Thompson of New London, against Shirley Al Thompson on the grounds of desertion- The petitioner’s case was conduoted by Attorney Thomas M. Shields. Mrs, Thompson, whose maiden name was Coit, testified that she and Shir- lev A. Thompson were married on September 15, 1910 and he deserted her 4n March the next year. She said her husband never earned much money and that since the desertion she had sup- orted herself by working. Her hus- d had never indicated that he Wanted to resume their married life. Mrs, Gladys H. White of Groton, tes- lified to her knowledge that Mrs. Thompson had been deserted by her husband and that they had not lived together since, and she had never seen them together since that time. Mrs. Frank J. Coit of New London, mother of Mrs. Thompson, with whom Mr, and Mrs. Thompson roomed at one period after their marriage, said it was the Easter Monday after the mar- riage that they separated. Before the separation Mr. Thompson said to the witness that he didn't know what he ever got married for. because he had enough to do to take care of himself. Mrs. Annie Brett of New London al- =0 testified that Mr. and Mrs. Thomp- son had not been lving with each oth- er for the last three or four years. This suit was brought on a cross complaint, the husband having charg- ed his wife with a statutory offense with a man named William Scar- ‘borough. Mrs. Thompson wag recalled to the stand and denied this allegation made 4n a complaint brought by her husband. She was employed at one time as a housekeeper by Mr. Scarborough., Judge Greene granted the divorce on the grounds of desertion and allowed tthe wife to resume her maiden name. Ran Away and Got Married. Mrs. Gladys H. White, of Groton, who had been a witness in the Thompson case, was the petitioner in the next divorce case heard. To the questions of Attorney George Curtis Morgan, Mrs. White answered that she was married on August 29, 1906 to Irving E. White of Westerly and she had not lived with him nor had anything to do with him since Feb. 3, 1607. At ome time he promised to et a home for her but he never kept he promise and she never gave him mny reason why he should desert her. Royal S, White of Richmond Junc- tion, R. I, father of Mrs. White, said It was against his advice that she was married to Irving White. They ran pway and got married. He said White's habits were bad. He would call him a shiftless, spendthrift fellow. To Judge Greene, Mr. White said he ‘was an uncle of Irving White and he had a good chance to know what he was like. Louis S. Doyle . of Westerly, at Wwhose home Mrs, Whita was employed nrbout six or eight months during this Year and last, testified that he had never seen Mr. and Mrs. White togeth- er. The divorce was granted for deser- tion with change of name which, how- ever, left the petitioner with the name pf White as that was her maiden harae. Soldier Wanted Her to Work. Frieda Finalay Hudson of New Lon- Bon was the plaintiff in the next di- worce case, bringing a petition against Charles R. Hudson of parts unknown. {rttorney Morgan appeared for the pe- itioner. Mrs. Hudson testified that her maiden name was Finalay and she was ot quite 18 when she was married in New London by Rev. Dr. Bullock to DIED. BRIGGS—In this city, June 11, 1915, Horace A. Briggs, in his 96th year. Notice of funeral hereafter. Charles R. Hudson, who was a soldler, but was discharged about five months later, They were married on Jan. 27, 1912, About a month after marriage her hsuband told her to go to work, and he didn’t want to give her any money. He had a violent temper and often beat her, with his fists or anything he happened to have in his hand. After his discharge from the army he left her for a time, but came back again and she supported him for two months. She was earning a dollar a day in a laundry and he threatened to kill her if she didn't give him money. He left her and she located him in New York and she followed him there, but for three years now she hed supported herself. She had heard that there was another woman whom her husband went around with. Mrs, Westbrook, forewoman at a New London laundry, and with whom Mrs. Hudson boards, testified that Mrs. Hudson’s character was good. She said that Mrs. Hudson had often been sick in the laundry and they felt sorry for her, as she needed care. Charles O. Miller of the Second com- pany, at Fort Wright, testified that he soldiered with Hudson for some time ang often visited Mr. and Mrs. Hudson while they were living on Fisher's Island. He had seen Hudson strike ‘his wife and he was a drinking man, with a violent temper, who would throw anything that he happened to have his bands on. Adolph Tinalay of New , York, brother of Mrs. Hudson, testified that his sister had complained through let- ters of ill treatment by her husband and they sent her money because her husband was not willing to support her. Mrs. Hudson had also visited the family in New York and had showed marks on her arms and shoulders that had been caused by Hudson's ill treat- ment. Judge Greene granted the divorce on the grounds of cruelty and allowed a change of name to Frieda Finalay. Wife Lived With Another Man. Attorney Hollandersky brought up the case of Joseph Scinta against Florence Burdick Scinta, in _which adultery with Victor Frederick was alleged. Joseph Scinta testified that he lives in New London and is empioyed on the New York boat and had known hi wife about e year before their mar- riage. They were married in Philadel- phia_on July 26, 1912, and lived in New London. Six months after their mar- riage, Mr. Scinta had occasion to go to Newport and when he returned his wife was gone. He understood that she had gone to a disreputable house. She was gone from the city for three months end then returned to New London, but not to him. Later he lo- cated her where she was living on Mountain avenue with a man named Fredericks and the landlord said he understood these tenants were man and wife, The landlord said they moved out and stuck him on the rent in February, 1915. The witness also testified to going to enother house later with the agent and Sheriff Tubbs and finding Mrs. Scinta and the man Fredericks living there. The agent said this woman was the one that had lived as Mrs. Fredericks at the other | house. The agent, Alvin E. Vail, and Sheriff J. H. Tubbs corroborated what hap- pened at the visit when Mrs. Scinta and Fredericks were found together. Judge Greene declared the divorce granted on the grounds of adultery. Husband Didn't Come Back. The divorce business for the day ‘was concluded with the case of Wildred Tola Tracy of Norwich against Charles H. Tracy of Hertford. Attorney A. J. Bailey appeared for the petitioner, who brought the suit on the grounds of desertion and adultery, but the evi- dence showed that not emough time had elapsed to give the divorce on de- sertion. Mrs. Tracy, whose maiden name was Parkinson, testified to her marriage on Feb. 1, 1894, to Tracy, who was em- ployed as e driver. They lived in Hartford. The desertion occurred one time when he had a driving job which took him to Bloomfield. He telephoned that he would be back, but he did not come, and explained by telephone that he had been detained by a sick horse. The next day when Mrs. Tracy tele- phoned to him he said he wasn’'t com- ing back. aeorge H. Woods of Hartford testi- fled to having knowledge of Mr. Tracy visiting women at disreputable houses on a number of occasions and one in particular in December, 1911. W. L. Parkinson, father of the petitioner, was also a witness for her, and the divorce :n. granted on the grounds of adul- ery. Mrs. Tracy was also given $200 ali- mony in cash and was allowed to re- sume her maiden name of Parkinson. TENTH ANNUAL CONCERT BY ACADEMY ORCHESTRA Programme Given with Fine Effect Before Audience That Filled Slater Hall, Slater hall had an audience that took about every seat on Friday eve- ning when the tenth annual concert by the Academy orchestra was given and the programme was one that was given with conspicuous merit by the orchestra under the direction of Fred- erick H, Cranston. Their numbers wera rendered with admirable finish and understanding that indicated the musicianly talents of those comprising the orchestra and the care in prepara- tion that they had given to the pro- gramme, Among special features they had the assistance of Miss Elaine Hitchon, who was heard with delight in two soprano solos, Love Is oS Fickle (Kruseman) and A Perfect Day (Jacobs-Bond), re- sponding to an encore for the last number. The Girls’ Glee club, with Miss Lu- cllle Lord as leader, contributed two well rendered numbérs and the Boys' club, of which Howard Peckham is leader, was also on the programme with one selection, for which they were called upon to give an encore. Henry La Fontaine was given en- thusiastic applause for his rendering of the piano Polacca de Concert (Tschaikowsky), in which he showed interpretative ability and command of technique and when an encore was called for responded with a composi- tion by his teacher, Professor Farrell. This was The Music Box, and was rendered with such delicacy and grace of expression that Mr. Fontaine was called upon to repeat the number, There was an encore also foy the Wreath dance, given by the Gymnastic Dancing ck who were gowned in flowing white Tobes and carried green hoops wound with wreaths, They were called upon to Tepeat the pretty num- ber. The dancers were the Misses Ruth E. Bogue, Beatrice A. Boyd, Villa C. Bussey, Nellie F. English, S. Irene Everett, Eleanor G. Fitzgerald, Hazel L. Fletcher, Henrietta H, Gallup, Helen E.
