The other divorce was granted to Mrs. Fannie Alford, of Ypsilanti also on the ground of non-support. It will be remembered that some time ago Noble Alford, applied tor a divorce from his wife and then proceeded at once to get married again under another name, supposing, as he claimed, that he had the legal right, having applied for a divorce. to marry again. In defense of his action in givIng another name at the time of his second marriage, he insisted that that was his real name. When asked why he had not given his real name when married the first time, he said he dld not then know what his real name was.
