The 6 to 3 ruling, written by Justice Felix Frankfurter, af firmed the convictions of a Pin eola N. C, couple for "bigamous cohabitation." The couple O. B. Williams and Lillie Shaver Hendrix twice were convicted in North Carolina courts. They went lo Nevada in 1040, established residences there for six weeks, obtained uncontested divorces ;,t Las Vegas from for mer spouses, then got married and returned to North Carolina. The state of North Carolina re fused to recognize their Nevada divorces. "North Carolina was entitled to find, as she did, that they did not acquire domicile in Nevada and that the Nevada court was therefore without power lo lib erate the petitioners from amena bility to tiie laws of North Caro lina governing domestic rela tions," the court opinion said.
