THE-WORLD: TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 1906. COURT AGAIN RULES | Act as Stay of Divorce Suit. James B. Duke won another victory to-day in his sult for divorce against his wite, Lillian N. Duke, to whom he was married on Nov, 2, 190, in ‘Cumden, N. J. Mrs. Duke's counsel it to tle the divorce action up for @ period of five years by appealing from a technical decision and naving ft act as a stay of all proceedings. ‘When the matter of the stay came vp before Vice-Chancellot Pitney in Chan- ia | cery Chambers, Jersey City, to-day the Court held that the suit cowl not be | delayed. The millionatre dent of the Am- erican Tobaooo pany was repre- sented by Richard 0. Léndebury, of Newark, and Oherles W. Fuller, his pecsonal attorney, of this city. Samuel Halish and Obmuncey Packer were course] for hurs, Duke. ‘When the divorce sult was begun the Getendant’s lawyers declared that Mr, Duke had no residence in New Jersey. ‘They contended that he was elther resident of North Carolina or New York, notwithsstanding his fine estate at Somerville, which he has maintained since 1881, The plaintiff's lawyers set up that as Mr. Duke had married in New Jersey, as he ‘had lived In that State a part of every year since 1884, | and owned a valuable estate at Somer- ville, he surely tad a domicile. Vice- Chancellor Pitney took the same view, roting in favor of Mr. Duke. Immediately after he had handed down this decision tie lawyers of Mrs. Duke appealed to the Court of Errors) and Appeals. It was this appeal that) they desired to have act as a stay, and ‘then no matter how the azpeal was de- cided to carry the case up to the United States Supreme Court Mr. Duke's lawyers argued to-day that such a stay would tle the divorce suit up for a period of five years or more, and that meanwhile the witnesses might die or thelr memories grow dim. It was contended that the issues of the sutt could be tried and disposed of while the appeal was still pending without injuring the interests of either party to the action ‘ihe Court ruled as Mr. Duke's lawyers argued.
