Arguments in the contested divorce case of Florence Leeds of Hamburg against George Leeds on the ground of intolerable cruelty were made late on Tuesday afternoon in the superior court here before Judge John H, Keel- er who reserved his decision after hearing Atorney Clayton R. Smith speak for the petitioner and Attorney Arthur T. Keefe for the respondent. Judge Keeler made some comment Wwhen the attorneys had finished that showed his eninion on the authentici- ty of a certain letter produced in the case would have an important bearng on his decision. Both the husband and w'fe are past middie age. Tn his argument for Mrs. Leeds who is seeking the divorce, Attorney Smith dwelt upon peints in the testimony which showed what he called the sor- did life that the couple had been liv- ing and made it seem impossible, he cla‘med that they could ever be recon- ciled. He referred to the support that Mr. Teeds had received from his wife who had given him $2 a day, but final- 1y stopped this. In combatting testi- mony of Mr. Leeds that hé had re- turned from New York to live again with his wife in response to a letter that she had sent him. the attorney charged that the letter had been writ- ten by Mr. Iyeds himself or that he had some one else write it for h'm and mail it from Lyme to him, as Mrs. Leeds denied that she ever wrote it and against the testimony introdueced to show that Mr. Leeds was living at the house in Hamburg with Mrs. Leeds, the attorney claimed that the evidence showed that he was living in the barn, cellar, attic and garage, while Mrs. Leeds 1ocked herself in her reom away from him and Mr, Leeds boasted that he was waking it appear that he was living with her. For the respondent, Attorney Keefe arguad in pert that the letter was a proof that she invited him to come back to her and that the whole situa- tion upon which she alleged intolera- hle cruelty had been planned by the wife, which was shown by evidence given that she had smeared her hands and clothing with bleod that came from nosebleed and she had told a witness | that she was making evidence for divaree case. He claiim.f that she had struck her- self with a heavy pot on September 1| 1917, and that Mr. Leeds had not; thrown it at her and that there was| evidence to shew that they had lived; together up to New Year's eve of that lyear which amounted to condonation land nullified her suit for divorce.
