When the divorce was granted In July, 100, tha three small children were awarded to the husband. - Now tho wife la trying to gat the little ones- into her own handa. 4 - Attorney Bloomneld, acting for Wil Uama. attempted to threw the case out of court on tha ground that the woman had been guilty of contempt of court In - marrying nine daya after - tbe dl voroe.

While siding with Mrs. . William a attorneys in his expressed opinions. Judge Fraser avoided rendering a formal deciaion la tha ease, saying that tba auprame court had not yet passed upon it directly. The argument of Attorneys Sohnabel and Logan for Mra. Williams waa that tho alx months law la operative only when the defendant In a divorce suit haa not lost the right to appeal. By, falling to oonteat, the defendant loaea . the right to appeal, the divorce beoomee absolute, and either party may imme diately remarry. .. The proposition that ths defendant losea the right to appeal and that a de fault divorce becomes Immediately ab solute waa decided by the supreme court In tha Leeala case.
