Mrs. Maria Sapieho of Mansfield says farm life with her husband Isadore is too laborious. She prefers milking cows cleaning the barn and tending chickens and ducks as her daily duties instead of life with him.
The witness describes a sequence of alleged violence and financial hardship. She says the husband gained forty dollars weekly, then forced her from their Lev erett street flat to a farm life with ten dollars monthly for herself and three children. She fled with the children on a Sunday morning in March last year after he planned to move to Maine and after he knocked her down in disputes over a parade and a wash basin. Sapieho denies cruelty. Judge Bell took the case under advisement.

Benjamin F. Loring, actor and Loring Stock Company proprietor, seeks to annul his marriage to Stephanie C. Perry of Bridgeport Connecticut. He questions her prior marriage to William D. Hamilton of New Jersey and alleges he married her before the six month waiting period after his divorce from his first wife.
Cross examination hints Hamilton may have been married before entering the present marriage to Mrs. Loring. A three year old daughter watched from the jury box as her mother, an actress once employed by Loring, sat nearby. The couple wed in Bangor to bypass the five day law, with attorney Rice obtaining a waiver before returning to New Bedford.
Loring testified that he married a woman before the agreed six months, saying she urged immediate nuptials. He claimed she had been married before, showed a marriage certificate, and said it was annulled, a point he later disputed. He admitted living with her post-divorce decree and faced non-support charges. He did not contest the wife’s status, citing lack of opportunity to challenge it. The Hamilton marriage allegedly occurred in September 1913 in Jersey City, with Loring later obtaining a divorce in March 1918.
