THE HANSSON DIVORCE TRIAL

Was Expected to Bd^Completed at Kentland Yesterday. The Hansson. vs. Hansson divorce case from Rensselaer was expected to go to the court about noon yesterday. The case started Wednesday afternoon before Judge Berry of Fowler, and many witnesses from here were summoned and -testified for both plaintiff and defendant, during the trial, which was at Kent-* land. Mrs. Hansson, the plaintiff, is represented by Mose Leopold of this city and W. H. Parkison of Lafayette, while Dr. Hansson, the defendant, is represented by E. B. Sellers of Monticello and William Darroch of Kentland. Mrs. Hansson sued fqr divorce and $20,000 alimony and SI,OOO per year for the suppprt of the daughter Annetta, who will soon be 21 years of age. In her complaint she alleged that the defendant was possessed of real estate of the value of $30,000 and personal property of the value of $20,000, but the latter established by incontrovertible evidence that he was worth less than SIO,OOO, hence plaintiff’s attorneys were not expecting a verdict for but a few thousand dollars.
