New York divorcees, who obtained thelr decrees via the “lightning meth- ods” in vogue in Reno and formeriy in the Dakotas with the intention of marrying men who seemed more suited to them than their husbands, will get no solace out of a decision which Supreme Justice Guy handed down in a suit rought by James Montford Schley wealthy nephew of Admiral Sch! against his former wife, Morna Cif Barclay-Andrewa, to enjoin her from enjoying @ financial settiement which Schley gave her in exchange for @ divorce which she obtained from him in Texas.
