The Wife Keeps The Property

THE WIFE KEEPS THE PROPERTY

Judge Kinne Declines to Set Aside Deed of

ALLMAND TO HIS WIFE

The Proceeds of Sale of Property will not be a Large Sum to Assist Wife and Children

Judge Kinne has rendered his decision in the case of Frank J. Allmand against his former wife, May Anna Allmand, brought to set aside a deed of their home made to Mrs. Allmand before the divorce. The judge decided in favor of Mrs. Allmand as follows:

If the complainant is right in his contention in this case he is meeting with injustice at the hands of the defendant and his children.

In April 1898 he made an unconditional deed of his home to his wife. This may have been a mistake on his part but I think under the evidence in this case he is remediless.

If the defendant is right in her view of this case then the complainant has no reason to complain. The case must be decided upon the proofs submitted with this deed, I think the clear preponderance of evidence is with the defendant and that complainant has failed to sustain the allegations of the bill. There now is probably less than $900 left of the proceeds of this home. It certainly is not a large sum to assist the wife and these two children to another home. I think the bill should be dismissed.
