Judge Rebuffs Erie Attorney In Divorce Hearing
Judge Miles B Ellis refused to grant a divorce to Harry Cole of 117 East Vth Street after his attorney Edward B Perrillo was accused of unethical methods to obtain a decree for the client. Cole, suing his wife Minx Cole of Gloucester Massachusetts for a second time, faced previous libel filed in 1941 and a decree dismissed due to missing records. The court condemned Perrillo’s tactic as unethical and noted Cole had priorly been denied divorce after complete records of the original proceedings were found in another attorney's file.
