Mismated humanity flocked to the Supreme Court in droves to-day— divorce Wednesday—praying that Jus- tice Scott give relief to aching hearts. It was the first “troubling of the pool’ since the summer recess of the courts, | and 130 applications for surcease of marital woe were filed. Justice Scott is empowered to adjust only undefended cases, Consequently there were no hard looks flying around, between plaintiffs and defendants, as the latter made no appearance. The! air was thick with sympathy and woe.| Women of all ages gathered in little | groups in the crowded court-room and, waiving formalities, told their troubles to each other. Tell Harrowing Experiences. Each experience was apparently more harrowing than the other, and each hus- band more unregenerate, for their whis- pers had grown to a roar during the wait for the Justice. Husbands were there a-plenty, too, but they confined thelr speech to thelr ttorneys. Many a look of sympathy 2) and understanding flashed from one man to another, however, Bvery one knew how it was. er "Abe" Hummel, who is espe- sought when man and wife fall ‘out, had six cllents under his wing. “Ign't there a lot of misery here, eh?" he asked, one arm protectingly around a frail little woman and with one hand on a repudiated husband's shoulder. “But the sorrow will be joy in three months, for then the verdicts, 1f favor- {able to the plaintiffs, are signed by the Justice and the knot is then legally un- tled. The new law makes a@ divorce not in complete force for three months after the granting of the decree. “Too much care can't be taken’ in these matters and perhaps some of these would-ve-divorcees right here are more at fault than thelr mates.” MILL Beg! to Grind.

All were of the same theme, but with Varying incident, ‘Of the 130 cases set for hearing this and next month, nearly all are for ab- solute divorce on statutory grounds.

The hotel register with this name was oroduced to corroborate them, Justice Scott said; “It has been repeatedly held that #& divorce will not be granted upon the uncorroborated evidence of private de- tectives. In the present case the only evidence of the defendant's guilt is the testimony of two persons, who, while they did not describe themselves aa private detectives, obviously acted as such when they observed the occur- rences to which they swore, and one of them admits that he acted under the in- strucdons of the plaintiff's attorney, Henitate to Grant It.
