Martins met for the first time to-day before Juatice Wilmot F. Smith, in the Brooklyn Su- preme Court. and assisted each other in undoing the matrimonial bonds that tied them both to a weulthy young lawyer. Mrs. Virginia “Martin, tall, blonde and pretty, was the plaintiff in the mar- riage annu!ment proceedings, and Mrs. Jessie Brokaw Martin, a dainty little ‘brunette, was her chief ally. Martin did not dare the battery of s0 mmch wifely scorn and bitterness, but hig father, Joseph Martin, aleo a iaw- yer and his son's partner, appeared for him and offered a rather feeble defense. ‘Mrs. Jesste Brokaw Martin was the first of the two to wed the lawyer, and hers was a sensational matrimonial ca- reer, She had never met the young man unt she went hunting a lawyer in her effort to divarce her first husband, James W. Malcolm, son of a wealthy real estate operator of Harlem. She became Malcolm's bride in July, 1900. She was Miss Jessie Brokaw, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Brokaw, of Loraine, N. J. As Mrs. Malcolm she was not a happy wife. In fact at tae end of the honeymoon the romance was dead and the young couple separated, Mrs, Malcolm went to William J. Mar- tin and retained him to bring divorce proceedings. While he was preparing her case he made ardent love, and in a few weeks was an accepted suitor, naturally, with the reservation that the divorce should be obtained first, In the full of 191 the young lawyer announced to his client that the di- vorce decree had been obtained and their wedding took place in October. The couple went to lve at the Hotel Navarre and later moved to Roselle, N. J., where the young lawyer bought Gut. |@ handsome house. All was happy un- ul Mre, Martin was shocked at being served with papers in a divorce action by her former husband, Malcolm. She then learned that no decree of divorce had been granted to her, and that she was not legally married to Martin. Sho immediately fled from his home and went to live with her parents, Malcolm obtained his divorce, naming Martin as co-respondent. Tae deceived young woman, though unable to offer a eubstantial defense in this divorce sult, appeared through counsel to prove that she had married the lawyer in good faith. Then she sued Martin for $60,000 for falsely rep- resenting to her that he had obtained a divoree for her. While this litigation was tn progress Martin met the dashing young blonde who ultimately became Mra. Virginia Martin. Sie was living in East Orange with her parents when she and the lawyer were wed, In October, 1904, In defending hia aon Joseph Martin ee ina rge tre is led to the altar, He protested abting of the annulment deere 22 thet, ground. ‘The Court, however, de- Cided That there was ainple ground au handed the young woman her decree, whereupon the two wives left court arm in erm, | ACCUSED OF KILLING AT 70. |Prinoner Shot Ma: \ ung at RIVERHEAD, L, I, Feb. 14—John Gatlin, seventy yours old, was locked Who Was Via- 8 Home, up in the county Jail here to-day on a charge of having shot and killed Joseph Contin, yeurs old, who died at thisty: hiy Home tn Bathtown last night, The shooting ocourred at Gatiin's Gmlthtown last Pridaw during a duaest te JAMES McGREERY & C0, Shirtwaist Patterns Embroidered Batiste.
