Edwin Laing, a former resident of Monticello, was refused a divorce by Judge Lairy in the Cass Circuit last week. He alleged abandonment, his wife having left him at Remington thirteen years ago, but on the witness stand he admitted that she had afterward asked him to take her back and he refused. Later, he said, she wrote him a letter making the same request and he again refused. Laing stated that his wife had accused him of being intimate with other women, which was nor true. In view of his own admissions the judge hefd that the charge of abandonment was not proven and denied the divorce. Though his wife lives in Logansport she did not enter an appearance in the case. Ed is now about 60 years old.—Monticello Herald.
