Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 April 1905 — CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS. [ARTICLE]

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.

Little has been doing in the circuit court this week. Monday the petit jury is called and the last two weeks of the term will be quite busy ones. Following are the proceedings since our last report: Esther C. Williams vs. Charles C. Starr et al; judgement for $3,997.50 and mortgage foreclosed, and the court finds that said mortgage is a senior claim to that of W. B. Austin. Walter E. Rich vs. Owen J. Conrad et al; title to real estate owned by plaintiff is corrected by correcting deed made by Oliver B. Mclntire and Margaret C. McIntire to John S. Moorhead, by inserting correct description of lands. Capital National Bank of Indianapolis vs. Fred Eggert and Rufus Fulk; dismissed by plaintiff.

Jasper Guy of Remington refiled the two state cases against his wife, Josephine L.Guy, which were quashed last week by reason of defective affidavits, and Mrs. Guy came over Monday and gave cash bond in the sum of SSOO in each case. At this writing no further action has been taken in the matter toward setting date for a hearing and it is likely they will go over until the September term. Mr. Guy has also filed two additional paragraphs to his action for divorce, in which he replies to Mrs. Guy’s cross complaint and charges her with having admitted to him after marriage several lapses from morality, naming one Patton, John and Bert Crowe, and one Vickory of Remington and a Rensselaer lawyer with whom she bad been intimate, and that she visited Chicago in the latter’s company. He alleges, also, that he employed a detective to look up her Illinois record and found that she had been immoral since 12 years of age. Regarding the gambling charge made in the cross complaint, he admits that he did gamble some for a time after an agreement urged by her that be should do so and give her 10 per cent of his winnings, which she made him deliver over before retiring each night. All other allegations in the complaint are denied. The additional paragraphs are warm ones, and besides charging her with want of chastity mention is made of attempts to poison plaintiff and many other things. Regarding her claim of having little property, he alleges that she has a $9,000 farm in Benton county, houses and lots in Remington worth *4,000, notes and accounts of SI,OOO and $4,000 cash in bank, or SIB,OOO worth of property all told. The divorce case has not yet been set down for trial and it may go over to the next term of court.
