Ill Crockett. of Newtown. from the
Rev. John A. Crockett. of on to no.
known. granting also the app ication
ley. The grounds upon which the div
vorce welc granted were cruelty and
assertion There was much curiosity
manifested when the papers in the
suit were first dra‘wu. to know the rea-
son for the assertion and cruelty
which followed so soon after the mar
ridge, and it was thought that the
reason would appear in the evidence lli
court. but as the defendant was not
replesented and the application was
not contested. the reasons for tho
strange actions of the husband did not
develop.
The first witness was Attorney McI-
rls H. Beardsley. who drew the papers:
He was questioned by Attorney Stod-
dard in regard to the efforts which had
been made to locate the missing hil'i‘
band. and of the cilcrta to ser'va the
papers in the suit. Since he returned

husband seems to have been lost, an
if any one knows where he' is. they
have been very careful to conceal that
knowledge.
Mrs. Crockett was called to the
stand. She said that she was maIrled
on June Ii. 1886. and that at the time
of her marriage her husband was an
Episcopal clergyman with a. lectorate
st ‘Newtown. She said that it was a
part of their plan to go abroad on a
wedding trip. and that on June 26.!01
hand went abroad. The unexplainable
conduct of her husband began while
they Were still on the ship. and it con
tinned while they remained together.
it made itself manifest in many rude-
ceases
The witness testified that she and
Ireland then into Scotland and from
her husband had traveled through
therthad gone to the continent. The
conduct of her husband was extreme-
ly rude. and she cited one particular
case. She said that just after they
had arrived in Paris Mr. Crockett pro
posed a walk on one of the boulevards.
She had consented to walk. and they
had gone some little way. when he
said that he desired to procure a cigar.
and told her to walt‘for him while he
went into n‘ nearby cafe.
He went into the cafe, and she walt-
ed. but he (lid not reappear, and after
waiting for some time she began to be
worried. She found herself in a very
unpleasant predicament. Deserted In
the streets of Paris. and without mou-
cy. she did not know what to do. but

advised her to trsv l north. and um
parents urged liar I travel north with
them When she spoke to her hus-
band ln regard to the proposition. he
said that if she wept with her parents
she should never look on his face
again. She followed the advice of the
doctor. and went north. going to Ge-
noa. then to Turin. and thence to For-
is. where she remained for some time.
Then. with her father and mother. she
went to Liverpool and returned to this

town. She saw llcl husband but once
since they separated in Florence. and
that was upon her arrival In America.
She has not heard from him in eight
