YEAR 76-NO. 288, A JUNBI 4| Divorce That Will Likely Cause Trouble. h QUEER POSITION HOW A NEW YORK MAN FINDS HIMSELF, Liooks As If Two of His Weddings He First Were Frawdulent--Now Wants to Remarry His Divorced Wife. New York, Dee. 8.--+A motion in a woman's suit for separation yester- day revealed a most unusual matris monial tangle, caused by a fraudul ent decree of divorcee. John Cotten Smith js the persdn directly concern- ed. In IS88 he married Miss Lillian Brown. In 1892 a lawyer gave him wht purported to He a decree of di- voree issued by a Philadelphia court. Since then he has married twice. He divorced his second wife, and his third wife is suing for separation. His first wife acting on the assump- tion that the fraudulent decrée was valid, was married, and afterward divorced her second husband. She was about to be married a third time whan' she learned the original decree which deprived her of a hus band was fraudulent. It is now as- serted that of these four weddings all except the first are void. The strangest part of it all is that Smith and his first wife are now eager to be reconciled. They do nat know whether they are still man and wife or whether a new marriage will be necessary, and it remains for the courts to straighten out the tangle, Smith is a direct descendant of the famous John Cotton, one of the May- flower Pilgrims, who came to he known as "The Patriarch of Now England' * beeause of his Puritan teachings. Smith's third wife, who is suing for a separation, is a descen- aant of Anetje Jans. After seventeen years of separation Smith and his first wife have begun their courtship all over again. The letters that have passed between them so far show that both are anxi- ous to begin their married®life anew. The first Mrs, Smith regards the dis- covery that the = decree was fraudu- lent just when she was about to be married to a wealthy Kansas City real estate man as an act of Pro vidence. In Ohe 'of her| letters sub- mitted to the court she tells her hus- band she is willing to receive his at- téntions in a new courtship, and ex- presses a hope that the court will separate him from the last wife, "How long ago it seems," she wrote, "You strong and handsome, and I, young and perhaps pretty. Ah, how long ago it all seems, and yet | long to see you, for I know you are my husband and my first sweet. heart." As Viewed In Australia.
