Atlanta Rivals Reno in Its Divorce Mill

Atlanta, Ga.—Because of the great number of divorce suits undefended in the Atlanta courts Judge John T. • Pendleton, who a few weeks ago declared that Atlanta is out-Reno-ing Reno In divorce records, has recommended the appointment by the county of a “divorce defender* to Investigate thoroughly all divorce pleas and actively represent the defense in all undefended divorce cases. “If husbands and wives knew that both sides to these family, troubles would be aired in court and that the faults of both sides would be exhibited before the jury, there would be a lot of people more willing and eager to settle their differences peaceably instead of rushing into divorce courts,” declared Judge Pendleton.
