SENT BOTH HUSBANDS AWAY

Then Got Divorce From First and Re-Married the Second. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 23.—The Enoch Arden "stunt” did not appeal to Mrs. Mada W, Finn when her husband, William, appeared at the home sixteen years after he had deserted her and their two children and three years after she had been married to Harry Phillips on the supposition that Finn was dead. Instead of greeting the wanderer with open arms, Mrs. Finn told him that he might as well depart, because she was through with him, whereupon he left the place, going to Chicago where he is employed. Then she Instructed her second husband also to leave until she could obtain a divorce from her first husband, and Phjlllps did so. Saturday evening Judge Frank Ellis, of circuit court, heard the story and a divorce was promptly granted. Mrs. Finn will now remarry Phillips. The custody of her two children was given her. Mrs. Finn said her husband’s mother had told her of Finn’s death and she had no doubt of it after that until he ap-» peared at her home.
