SEATT LE 1914, ONE CENT ewe JUDGE GIVES DIVORCE TO WOMAN WHO SLAVED TO EDUCATE HUSBAND, NOW ADOCTOR, WHO DESERTED HER hal ASH, TUESDAY, NOV. 17, For a little while longer Dr. Carl W. Silverberg must endure the bonds which bind him to the wife he jdoes not love, and who is not his “social equal.” Judge Humphries yesterday granted to Mrs. Hannah Silverberg an interlocutory decree of divorce, which does not become operative until Dr. Silverberg has paid her money | which she gave him to enter college and become a physician. The defendant must pay $1,800 at the rate of $100 every three months; and he also must pay alimony of $50 a month until the $1,800 is paid. The court granted Mrs. Silverberg attorneys’ fees to) the amount of $250. Mrs. Silverberg did not ask for divorce, but for separate main- tenancé, but Judge Humphries, in granting the divorce, insisted that it was in the best interests of society that “this union without love, this mockery of marriage” should be dissolved. * * Cz * . * The Star told yesterday of the early beginnings of the Silverbergs’ ro- mance, conceived in love, srifice and worthy ambition, which now ends in a sordid settlement—a romance from which all love and trust have been wrung, leaving only distruct and cold suspicion They were playmates in Finland.
