COURT NEWS

The case of Mrs. Edna T. Collison of Valparaiso against her husband, Albert T. Collison, for a divorce, was called for trial Wednesday in the Jasper circuit court, where it was brought on a change of vfenue. Mrs. Collison is asking for an absolute divorce, $150,000 alimony and the custody of the two minor children. Collison has banking interests at East Chicago and Danville, 111., and owns several thousand acres of land in Porter county. Attorneys for plaintiff allege that he is worth nearly half a million dollars, while the defense is that he is as poor as a church mouse; that he owes his mother as much or more than the value of all the property he is credited with and which, it is understood, has been placed in her name. There are many witnesses and the case will probably last for several days, perhaps all next week.
