The Reichert Divorce Case

The Husband Sues for the Divorce Denied Wife

On the Ground of Desertion—The First Divorce Trial Was One of the Most Celebrated Ones in County

John George Reichert has brought suit for divorce against his wife, Mrs. Katherine C. Reichert, nee Koch, on the ground of desertion.

About four years ago the wife brought suit for divorce and one of the greatest divorce trials in the history of the county ensued, interest being widespread not only on account of the prominence of the parties and their family relationships, but also from the nature of the testimony. The case went to the supreme court and was finally decided Oct. 31, 1900, and Mrs. Reichert was not given the divorce she asked for.

Now Mr. Reichert is asking for the divorce he previously fought against. The parties have not lived together since their previous trouble and Mrs. Reichert is put down in the directory as a widow, a fact which isn't at all pleasing to her husband.
