Parties wero interested.
Judge Robinson of the Superior
Court had an extraordinary divorceseo-
sion yesterday. when nine uncontested
petitions were down on the list. All
but two of these furnished business.
and six decrees were granted.
The first case called ‘ was that of
Jennie Disbrow against Frank Dis-
brow, which was partially heard last
week. Attorney John J. Walsh. of
Norwalk. brought in two more witnes-
ses to prove the desertion. but Judge
Robinson was not manned and the de-
cree was not allowed. Just as Judge
Robinson announced his decision At-
torney Walsh asked for permission to
withdraw the case. “Why did you not
ask that before i rendered the decis-
ion?" said Judge Robinson. Attorney
Walsh had no satisfactory reply to
make. "No. i do not think i canal-
low that." said the court, and Attorney
Walsh had to retire to inform his ass-
ious client that she could not have the
divorce“,
it was a terribly sad story that Fan-
nie E. Gavin had to tell when she
took the witness stand to ask the court
for a divorce from John M. Gavin.
Her counsel was Prosecutor John H.
Light, and he told the court that his
client's 'claim rested on the ground of
intolerable cruelty. Mrs. Gavin is a
very pretty woman, with a sweet, am-
iable face that made it hard to believe
any one could ill treat her. She mar.
ried Gavin on October is. 1891. and
went with him to Brooklyn to live.
- "Gavin first began to illtreat his wife
in March. “94. At that time he beat
her in a most shameful manner. On
another occasion he grabbed her by
the throat and put a razor against her.
threatening to kill her. She. was so
a thing.
This sort of thing continued for sev-
eral months. .Then she left him and
went to live with a friend. He follow-
ed her and demanded an interview.
She consented. When she faced him
he grabbed her by the arm and threw
her up against the side of the house.
He asked her to live with him and
she refused. He told her that he
would kill her. Then he grabbed her
by the throat and choked her until she
could not breathe. But for her friend
coming to her relief she would have
been killed. She then tried to run ilp
stairs, but he grabbed her by the an-
kle and almost pulled her down the
stairs. This outburst decided Mrs. Ga—
vin. She would leave her husband for
good. She then came home to her par-
ents in Bowayton. After she reached
home her husband followed and beg-
ged her to come back. He admitted that
he had wronged her and promised to
do better. But she would not listen
to his pleadings. He had frequently
made such promises before. only to
break them after she had been with
him a few days. When the notice of
the divorce proceedings was sent to
him he wrote her a very pathetic letter
in which he admitted all that was
charged against him. \He begged her
to always retain just one kind thought
of him. He admitted that she was in
the right and that it would be better
for her to get the divorce. in closing
he said: "i wish you well for you cer-
tainly deserve it. A better and more
lovely women it would be hard to find.
May God bless you. With kisses for
our little one and one last kiss for you
for this is the same as death to me. i
will close. Your Unhappy Husband.”
The absent husband pleaded that she
would not turn their child against him.
and asked permission to see the little
girl occasionally.
There was some moisture in Mrs.
Gavin's eyes when this letter was read.
but she added with ,a sigh, that her
husband always wrote in that way af-
ter he had been particularly abusive
and cruel to her. Mrs. Marietta Allen.
of Brooklyn, testified to seeing Mr.
Gavin attack his wife and Mrs. Julia
Clarke. the petitioner's mother, gave
testimony that Gavin had admitted be-
fore her various attacks on his wife.
Decree granted and custody of child.
Lurenda P. Flinn was granted a de-
erm from George F. Flinn on the

er and scripture reading by E. R. Ben-
nett. and a brief but suggestive talk
in which he pointed out to the society

recting evils and cvangellzing the
world.
The report of Miss Wixon. the sec-
retary. was then read. Roll call fol-
lowed, each society. as its name was
called, giving the number of members

voices, as soul stirring and uplifting.
The speaker also referred to the ad-
dress of Amor R. Wells in which be
compared the Christian Endeavor

what each part was for and the work
the shears could do.
President Heath then called upon
those who attended the state conven-
tion at Piltnam. last week.
Mm. Durand, of South Norwalk. was
the first to respond. She said Putnam
was a place of six thousand inhabi-
tants with only one Christian Endea-
vor Society. but the seal and hospital-
ity was large enough for the members
to open their homes to three. hundred
delegates. She also gave an explana-
tion of President Buck's motto. Sow

Miss Edna Wilson. of Norwalk, gave
a complete report of the convention,
paying especial attention to the co n-
miuee conferences. She closed with
