Show TIIE CHICAGO people and the readers of Chicago newspapers will heave a sigh of relief over the termination of the CARTEII divorce case It was one of the filthiest cases ever tried in a court of justice Day after day the papers which reported the testimony fairly reeked with nastiness How they escaped prosecution for publishing publish-ing obscene matter is a mystery Mr CARTER CAR-TER charged his wife with adultery and put witnesses on the stand who swore that the woman had been little less than a common I com-mon strumpet in America and Europe On j the other hand Mrs CARTER charged her husband with nameless crimes against her I The parties being wealthy of course the I trial attracted much attention The jury found the woman guilty and I the husband not guilty While CIRTER nay be innocent of the offenses charged in the petition and sworn to by Mrs OUSTER the jury should have brought in a special finding declaring him an idiot or a coward His wife traveled in Europe and this country With other men spending 50000 a I year only part of which money he supplied sup-plied > and yet he seems to have been satis fied with the goingson until she tired of him and cast him off entirely Any woman of spirit would despise such a husband If a woman goes to the bad under such circumstances cir-cumstances her fall should be charged to her unfortunate marriage as much as to anvil an-vil tendency But the case has ended I and now let us hope that Mrs CARTEL will neither go on the stage nor shoot anybody |
