HEW DIVORCE LAW MAY BE ENACTED

Court's Decision Leads Lawyers to Believe Law Is 7 Unconstitutional.

JOSEPH WENDLING PLACEDJ STAND Says He Ran Away from Louisville Because of the Jealousy of Wife.

KING CASE AN EXAMPLE

Seems as Though There May Be Remarriage Despite Prohibitory Decree. Indianapolii. Dec. 2. Lawyer who have read tho decision handed down by the supremo court In an appeal from St. Joseph county, believe the court meant plainly to hold that in case a divorced person remarries within two years in spite of a decree prohibiting such remarriage within that time such person cannot be punished for the violation. While the court decides only the case before it at the time, the lawyers say that the language used in he opinion is bo plain and general in its nature that it lays down a general rule to that effect. If this is. the real gist of the decision, it is pointed out it will throw down the bars and open up the way by which divorced persons may remarry at any time after the divorce has been granted. , St. Joseph County Case. Ada King was divorced from her husband, Arcblllous King in St. Joseph county on April 13. 1908. She had given notice of the filing of her suit by publication in a newspaper in the legal manner. In the decree of the court her maiden name of Ada Cripe was given her, and she was prohibited from remarrying within two years. Tho divorce statute says that where a divorce is granted in a case in

which notlco has been given by pub-

llcation this prohibition shall be

part of the decree, but the statute does not provide a penalty for viola

tion of the statute.

. But Ada Cripe and William Branner

slipped over to St. Joseph, Mich, about a month after the divorce and were married, the woman thus disregarding

the prohibitory part of the Judgment. Later on John Selfert filed in the St.

Joseph circuit court an affidavit charging the woman with contempt of court In violating the decree. Just how Selfert, an outsider, happened to file the affidavit is not shown in the record of the case. The prosecuting

attorney and another attorney of

South Bend came into the case at this

point, the prosecutor to protect the interests of the state. They filed a

request that the woman be placed un

der bond" for her appearance to answer

me cnarfre or contempt, ine motion oe-

ing batted on an affidavit that she was about to leave the jurisdiction of the

The court refused to place the worn

an under bond, and on her motion the court discharged her, holding that Seifert's affidavit was not sufficient to

charge a contempt of court. The prosecuting attorney appealed from this

decision to the supreme court. Opinion of the Court. Chief Justice Myers wrote the opln Ion of the court and in it says: "The statute making remarriage un

lawful within two years is grounded

upon consideration of public policy, and the violation of the order is ne

cessarily a violation of a declared public policy, but no penalty Is attached, and we must presume from a public policy not to do so. The order of the court Is simply the statement of the legislative flat, without any penalty attached and its violation is not the violation of the court's decree, but the violation of the statute for which no penalty is attached,, nor has any been expressly provided by any other statute. TJndr this statute there is no right vested in the former spouse or any individual, either of property or of a personal character which can be affected by the remarriage. It is significant that no penalty is imposed for the violation of this statute and as all our offenses are statutory, it can hardly be Insisted that general laws or other statutes may be looked to, unless it be the statute of contempt."
