Divorce Is Denied In Circuit Court Lengthy Opinion Is Given By Parrish Judge Myles F. Parrish denied the divorce, sought by Willie Cornett v» Iwae' (iornett in Adarfbs circuit court Tuesday afternoon in a lengthy opinion. The case .had consumed several days of hearing evidence. Cornett filed his original suit March 13, 1051. charging desertion and cruel and 5 jinhuman treatment. The court questioned the non-resident notice because the plaintiff \ knew 5 at the time where the defendant was living . Judge Parrish gave a summary of the history of marriage and divorce through the ages, stating that courts had found that divorce was an actiop in a court of equity. In summing up the case, Judge Parrish said that plaintiff had not proved abandonment, because defendant had not been absent for two years and because plaintiff had taken defendant to Kentucky where she remained and that plaintiff had not proved cruel and inhuman treatment. He denied the divorce. In December, first evidence was heard in the matter and then plaintiff completed testimony Monday and Tuesday of this week. De fendant moved for a directed verdict and plaintiff joined ip the motion. Therefore the court’s rub ing was made following the presentation of .plaintiff's evidence. “Marriage j|s the strongest link in our government,” the court' said in his finding, “therefore it cannot be destroyed by trivial means.” , Ed A. Bossg represented the defendant and Hubert McClenahan represented the plaintiff in the action.
