SECRET DIVORCE | IS SET ASIDE I j .Judge Sets Aside Secret ’ Divorce Granted bev- , en Years Ago Vincennes. Ind., The strange case of Karl e Hi .. r who secretly married while in school, who even more secretly ( obtained a divorce seven years ago , without tolling his wife, and w o , became the father of two vbildt.n , while "divorced,” today was • < aside by Superior Court Judg Sherman G. Davenport on grounds of fraud. . . , eier told the court, did she know Not until last fall. Mrs. Pielem- j her husband had obtained a di- , vorce in 1930. She said they quar- ; i reled over attentions he paid an- , other girl when he said: I “What can you say to me. You are not my wife " Mrs. Plelmeier said they lived together after the divorce was . granted and that their two daugh- . ters were born during that time- ( They were married in 1928 while students in high school. Two years later Pielemeier obtained the divorce. In 1934, shortly before their first child was born, their marriage was announced and they started housekeeping. Tne attractive. 28-year-old brunette. testified that Peilemeier had told her he was filing for divorce , i but that he later informed her to “forget it, it dfdn't mean a thing.", Pielemeier testified he had used an assumed name to gain the divorce decree, that he had withheld information of the divorce from his wife and had lived with . her afterwards. He said it was his wish that the i divorce be declared void. “I think that any man who brings suit against his wife, then | tells her he is going to dismiss it and so induces her not to make a ; defense when she has a defense,. has committed just about as fraud-‘ ulent an act as can be committed," Judge Davenport said. "I can’t understand why. after the divorce was granted, he would nerntit two children to be born. I don't feel that these two innocent , children should suffer. The judg- ( ment is set aside." Mrs. Pielemeier has a suit for a limited divorce no w pending against her husband. Date of the trial has not been set.
