Dorchester Man Denies Abusive Claims in East Cambridge Divorce Case
John G. Martin of Dorchester defended himself in East Cambridge Divorce Court telling Judge Bell he never abused his wife and had tried to reconcile.

She cited fear of Catholic church excommunication as delaying filing. Martin said he paid his wife's salary and their marriage began after a three year acquaintance.
