MAS. FERRENBACH 6ET3 A DIVORGE Judge Kerrigan Grants Her a Decree for Cruelty. Dismisses Two Prior Actions on Husband’s Promiss to Reform. After suing for divorce three different times Mrs. Minnie Ferrenbach has at last secured a decree. Judge Kerrigan heard her story of domestic troubles yesterday and granted her a divorce from Otto Fer- renbach on the ground of extreme cru- elty. He also awarded her the custody of their little girl, the father having taken charge of the other two children, both of whom are boys. Mrs. Ferrenbach testified that her hus- band frequently beat.and abused her. She brought a suit for divorce several years ago, but her husband promised to reform and she withdrew the' complaint.” He kept his promise but a short time. When she filed another suit he prevailed upon her to believe in him again, and she filed another dismissal.

She returned a week or so ago with the company now playing at the Columbia, and he promptly served her with a summons in divorce. . Mrs. Jurgens did not appear in court to contest the suit, so Jurgens obtained a decree by cefault. The trial of the divorce suit of Ama- ryllis Crooks against Frank B. Crooks was commenced in Judge Hunt’s court yester- day. Mrs. Crooks, who is an artist and music teacher, charged her husband with deserting her in 1897, four years after thein marriage in Kansas City.

She testified also that on one occasion while her husband was asked him what he was doing. “I am going to bury a dog, but I wish it were my mother-in-law,” is ‘the reply Mrs..
