She was given possession of thelr Queen Anne home, and she was also grant- Te $150 a month alimony, her costs jin the case and $500 attorney fees. Judge Hall granted both parties @ |divorce decree. Burckhardt was given the privi- llege of having his son one month each summer, He was also granted the right to have him from Friday evening until Sunday evening each © wee Burckhardt was required to — pay insurance and taxes upon the house. The furniture in the house, valued at $10,000, will be divided Jat- er, Judge Hall ruling that hardt may have some things that he values, and the sion will be made when he has. information at his disposal. ‘The house was not awarded Burckhardt as a permanent posses sion. She is to retain Lara it for three years, when it be sold and the proceeds divided « ly between Burckhardt and Burckhardt. BURCKHARDT CLEARED OF ARSON CHARGE Judge Hall completely cleared Burckhardt of the charge of arson alleged against him by Mrs. Burck- hardt, He said there was no .evidence to sustain the story that Mrs. Burckhardt told on the witness stand that she had seen her husband set fire to the cannery to collect $290,000 insurance. “I make a finding that it is not a fact, and there is no evidence that — it did occur," Judge Hall said with reference to the cannery fire charge. Much of the testimony introduced by Burckhardt against his wife was discredited. i the Galpin incident of February: 24, ~ when Maurice Galpin was alleged to have ®een found in the attic of the Burckhardt house, partly clothed, would be entirely disregarded. The testimony of Tillie Edgel, which sought to prove that Mrs. Z hardt had been intimate with Jerry _ O'Keefe, would not be given credit. The court said much of the testi- mony concerning drunkenness on the part of both had been over: emphasized. “I don't belleve either is as guilty of drunkenness as is charged in the — complaint. Where liquor is in the house, both parties are likely to use it to excess," said the court. COURT PAYS TRIBUTE TO MOTHER LOVE Judge Hall delivered a touching” tribute to mothers, declaring that there had been no direct testimony in evidence to prove that Mrs. Burckhardt was unworthy of the custody of her child. z “It has been snid that mothers have the best of it in a court of justice. That is true, not be — cause of chivalry, but because — of justice. Mother is the one that bears the pain and suffer- ing; she stakes her life when the child is born, and. in doing so, she is sanctified by God. Proof must be definite and cer- tain in order to take away from a mother qualities given to her by the Creator at the time of child-birth, and especially that one of integrity. “In awarding the child the main thing is his welfare, and it is best that he be not taken away x! his mother,” Motion for a new trial will made by Burekhardt ane and, if that faiis, the case will taken to supreme court on app A crowd surged around Mi Burckhardt at the conclusion of tht trial, and congratulated her and her attorney, Edward A.
