I. | ‘This suit will go down into the his- | tory of celebrated actions-at-law in| Brooklyn, because of the social prom- fmence of the chief actos. The friends of Col. Stokes and Mrs. Stokes flocked to the Courthouse doors pefore the time assigned for calling the case. The corridor outside the courtroom was an ehibition gxround of shifting gems and furs, which gravitated later into the courtroom adorning their fair owners. Col. Stokes’s legal effort to rid him- @elt of his wife is based upon the con- tention that at the time of his mar- | riage -his bride had another husband | Uving, to wit, one John Hitchings, who | is now a resident of the State of Wash- ington, An affidavit signed by Hitch- ings is @ part of the documents sub- mitted by Col, Stokes to substantiate his claim.
