HUSBAND WINS DIVORCE SUIT
Much Talked of Case Will Be Appealed to Supreme Court
JUDGE GIVES LECTURE

Mrs. John E. Hill, who was suing her husband, John E. Hill, for
separate maintenance, lost her case which was tried in the district court
before Justice Hutchinson last week. The case came to a conclusion Friday.
Judge Hutchinson decided in favor of Rev. John E. Hill and allowed him
petition for divorce and also taxed all the costs to the plaintiff.

Judge Hutchinson delivered a talk in which he scored Mrs. Hill
for a woman who had lost no opportunity to make life miserable for her
husband. The minister held a handkerchief to his eyes throughout the talk,
but Mrs. Hill remained dry eyed, listening to the judge upbraid her for her
abuse of her husband and the manner in which she had hounded him.

The trial was the second one in the case, the first being an
alienation suit against Mrs. Lillian Stinton, whom the minister's wife
accused of stealing her husband's affection. In both trials evidence was
offered that the minister was seen to kiss Mrs. Stinton and that he
clandestinely visited her.

The Hills are the parents of two daughters, Bertha and Ruby,
both of whom took the stand during the present trial and testified for their
mother.

The case will be appealed to the supreme court according to the
attorneys representing Mrs. Hill.

COURT OPENS NEXT MONDAY

The first case listed for trial at the coming term of court is
that of Mrs. Anna Hill against John E. Hill. The plaintiff asks for
separate maintenance and the defendant has filed a cross petition for
divorce. The suit is an outcome of the sensational alienation suit of Hill
vs Stinton tried at the November term of court when Mrs. Hill sued Mrs.
Lillian Stinton for stealing her husband's affections. The jury in that
trial returned a verdict in favor of Mrs. Stinton.
