Cats and clairvoyance are the reasona given by Simon Fritz of 46 Goffe street, .New Haven, for separating from his wife. The couple were married in Iowa about 40 years ago. Ten years ago Mrs. Fritz developed a mania for cats. She gatnerea m anu caxeu lor every stray xe-line xe-line she could find. Mr. Fritz tried to escape from them by moving to this city, but 6he brought a crate of cats with the furniture. Mr. Fritz is a woodworker. He set up a repairing shop on "Winter street, and they lived in the building until the constantly con-stantly increasing number of cats around the house caused the neighbors to complain, com-plain, and they moved to Goffe street. Mr. Fitz also has some inventions he is trying to perfect, but the nightly uproar by the cats seldom allowed him to get a night's rest, and he was unable to work effectively. Then Mrs. Fritz became a trance medium, me-dium, and, her husband says, neglected her household work to delve into the mysteries of the past, present and future. She attracted attention by asserting that Anna Orr, then missing from Bridgeport, Bridge-port, was dead in a well. The girl's body has since been found in a well in Fairfield. Fair-field. Mr. Fritz could stand the fortune telling, tell-ing, but he couldn't stand the cats, and he finally declared that his wife's pets must all go. Mrs. Fritz demurred, but her husband wras firm. The cats went, and so did the woman. Now Mr. Fritz j declares he will apply for a divorce. New Haven Cor. New York Press, |
