The test ‘was' made to determine the sound eat would have resulted from such a , diecove. Whether the sound of a falling on the stairway from jMrs. Angie's apartments could have Ween heard in the apar:..ont of Pat- (pick R:-vitt below?” asked Progecu- e Cummings. “We did,” replied Coroner Phelan. “At my direction a dummy, of the as- @umed height and « ned weight of Mr. Ballou, was prepared. It was thrown down the ‘stairs from. Mrs. Angie's apart.nent to the landing. I ‘was in the apartment of _bbitt lis- jttulng and I distinctly heard the wound of the fall. Q.

Up for Injustice of Laws and Society by Not Fighting Her in Courte, Suffragist ‘Believes. Are modern husbands losing their honor and ia the double standard responsible? cs J Divorce records just compiled in the Supreme Court show that few men sued for divorce ever defend themselves against the charges, while almost every wife charged with marital wrongdoing defends herself to the mit of her resources. p The question loomed up as an aftermath of the divorce suit tried this week before Supreme Court Justice Greenbaum, wherein Mra. Edith Ostend Goldman, a chorus girl bride, though uninformed inthe laws of-the land affecting her rights as a wife, fought a divorce suit with all the energy at her command, although she had been caught, as the police would say, “red- handed and with the goods on.” Her husband is the son of @ millionaire banker who had tnlimited*resources and an imposing array of legal talent on his side. The odds were greatly against her. Her honor was at stake. She lost. Would the average husband, haled @——__ to court under similar conditions, have made the same kind of a fight? And would other accused wives, similarly placed, have made the same fight that she did, in defense of honor? The records of New York's divorce mills for the last four years answer the first question negatively; the answer to the second is in the affirmative, EXPERT TELLS WHY MEN LET SUITS GO UNDEFENDED. James B, F. Smith has been for more than twenty-five years the cal- yendar clerk in Part Ill, of the Su- | preme Court, and because he has sent thousands of divorce suits ‘oj their fateful ends he 1s considered an expert on matrimonial matters in : Court House, Furthermore, he has: made a special study and has kept accurate record of the number of men and women who seek divorces or who are sued. ene His figures say that more than 60 rer he ssi Peden cent. of the undefended divorce sults CeUGE There ero “fi CD are brought sgainst husbands who anotuer, Derriction.© make no defense of their “honor” and allow the sults to go py default, They make no attempt to disprove the charges, these husbands, and the rec- ord of tire court brands as wil- ful violators of the marriage vow. The wife-defendant invariably takes her case before a jury and, like the Goldman woman, fights against the eternal damnation supposed to be her lot if the verdict goes against her, Mr. Smith says that manly gal- lantry and complaisance and not 98 of the sense of honor mal the husbands indifferent to the outcome of suits brought against them, Inez Milholland Beiseevain, the lawyer and advocate of woman's rights, says that man is ca of the same blemish th: ve poms ile a0-often wi n that when the glameve urat ine the best interests ‘of the. parties are served by a dissolution of the marriage. THE LEGAL VIEW OF THE:IN- hy FLUENCE OF EXAMPLE. ‘Persons of prominence and wealth come into court seeking divorce, The husbands in these cases are complal- sant in the matter of the severance of the marital ties because of the ‘chil- dren and the influence of example. The legal view that examples make for the bett em of mankind leads these’ husbands to permit decree to be entered againgt them.” Mr. Smith refuses to be pessimistic. Twenty-five years would ordinatily make @ man whose sole business is handling matrimoniat troubles fearfal of what the world is coming to, but as he puts it, “There was a deluge once, and If the world is worse now than it woe he encth Seen surely there other living things of this earth vata “There are en. The season for divorce hunt- ing was especially productive of big bags of decrees for sinned-against wives, A close observer of the di- vorce courts sees a wife come into court in an undefended action brought by her against her husband, hears her tell her little story of do- mestic infelicity, unfaithfulness and the eternal triangles, but never sees hide nor hair of the accused husband. ‘The Justice finds, 98 he must under the law governing wndefendec di- vorce actions, for her. Three months elapse and she is a free woman, in many cases with children to care for, until she sees fit to take a second dip into the matrimonial pool, and the husband is prohibited from ever re- marrying in this State unless his wife dies. But journeys to adjoining States are inexpensive and short and so he should worry! ONE YEAR'S RECORD OF Q- VORCE BY COMPLAISANCE.
