Durbin Divorce Case Dismissed.

The divorce case of Mrs. Mary Durbin vs Burley Durbin, a Carpenter township case, was before Judge Hanley, Saturday afternoon. Owing to the failure to have witnesses to establish the fact of Mrs. Durbin’s residence in state and county for the length of time the law requires, the case was dismissed. However it has been refiled and probably next time the plaintiff will meet with better success. The plaintiff’s attorney declared that one of his witnesses, whom he depended upon to establish the fact ofhis client’s residence, had got mad abont something and ex perienced a convenient lapse ol memory when called to the witness stand, and “didn’t know where she lived.” But such things will occur in the best regulated divorce cases.
