Court Grants Decree on Ground of Desertion Alone, Saying Other Charges Xot Proven. ST. LOUIS, Ftb. 18. A decree of divorce with alimony of JhOOO a year and the cus tody of her son was awarded Mrs. Will lam J. Lemp, Jr., by Judge Hitchcock In the Circuit Court here today. The deci sion followed a sensational trial which lasted more than a week and closed Tues day last. Judge Hitchcock stated that the sole grounds for divorce recognized by him was desertion. It had been established, he said, that Lemp had absented him self from Mrs. Lemp for a year. "The plaintiff Is not entitled to a decree on any other ground stated In her petition." said the court. "The issues on these grounds are decided in favor of the defendant." Mr. Lemp is given the society of the 7-year-old boy from Saturday morning to Sunday evening of each week. Mrs. Lemp has contended strenuously for an award of alimony in gross, her attorney asking for $500,000. This would have given her an income of more than thrice the allowance granted by the court. The net result of the suit is regarded somewhat as a compromise. The suit was filed by Mrs. Lemp last ntuiniw It was followed shortly by bills were frequently amended before the case came to trial.
