Divorce Was Refused

THE CELEBRATED REIBHERT DIVORCE SUIT ENDED Judge Kinne Said There Was No Reason Why They Should Not Live Together and Be Happy. The conclusion of the divorce case of Katherine C. Reichert vs. John G. Reichert. occupied the time of the circuit court today until after 3 o'clock. The defendant testified to what he was worth when he married his wife and what he was worth now. Coming to the difficulty between himself and wife he said they had always lived happily together until during the past three or four year. He related the many terrible accusations his wife had made against him, including unfaithfulness and drunkenness but denied them all emphatically. He also related some of the bad things he had said to his wife while in anger. But he declared he still loved her, that he had never had improper relations with any other woman, that his home was open for her to return and that he would be glad to have her return at any time, that if she did not like to live in the country he would willingly move to town. He related the numerous times he had called to see his wife but she always repulsed him. He declared that he never believed her other than a pure woman. When the evidence was all in the attorneys stated that they had no arguments to make to the court. The court declared that his mind was so fully made up in the matter that he did not think arguments of attorneys would change it, nevertheless he would willingly listen to attorneys. Judge Kinne then stated that he could not grant the divorce. There was no law for it under the evidence. These people, he said, ought to fix up their differences. There appeared to be no valid reason why they should not live together and be happy. They ought to do this on their own account, on account of their children and the community in which they lived. Mr. Sawyer stated this would be impossible and that the case would be taken to the supreme court. Judge Kinne said attorneys should help on a reconciliation and drop the matter right where he left it. This the defense seemed willing to do, but stated their intention to fight if it was necessary.
