Both Wander Astray Divorce Denied for Couples in Court
In Madison, Fred M. Bird and Edith W. Bird each sued for divorce on cruel and inhuman treatment, but Judge Stevens denied both claims. He condemned a husband boasting of illicit relations as the harshest form of cruelty, and noted that mutual breaches prevent a decree when both spouses seek divorce. A separate suit by Amanda M. Kramer against William Kramer cites habitual drunkenness and cruel treatment. Kramer, 57, and Kramer, 44, married since 1889 with two grown children.
