JENKINS SECURED A DIVORCE AND THEN MARRIED AGAIN.Hi* First Wife Found It Oat and Secure* Alimony—Trial* of the Rioter*.Attorney Thomas Hanna has succeeded in securing alimony for hi* client In the Jenkins divorce case, and is waiting for the court to fix the amount. Although the litigant* are Indianapolis people, their marital troubles have ail been aired In the Illinois courts. The last decree of the court was issued at East St. Louis Mondfay. Maj. Thomas K. Jenkins, the plaintiff in the original complaint for divorce, Ciad lived in Indianapolis nearly all his life. The defendant, Nancy J. Jenkins, resides at No. North Pennsylvania street. She ha* some reputation as an artist. Maj. Jenkins is sixty-one years old, while hi* ex-wife is twenty years his Junior. For several years the Jenkins family lived at No. 400 North Illinois street, and afterward resided at No. 250 North Pennsylvania street. Major Jenkins was for seventeen years connected with the railway mail service, with headquarters in thia city. He left tie service in 1893, and went out to 8t. Elmo, 111., to take a position, aa auditor of a railway company. Mrs. Jenkins. with her son, remained In this city.Prior to his taking up a residence In Illinois there had been some trouble between Maj. Jenkins and his wife, but after the departure of the former the breach began to widen. In two or three months the Major returned, and it 1* claimed that he came back to advise his wife to got a divorce. She declined to listen to the proposition, and he went back to hi* duties at St. Elmo. About this time Mrs. Jenkins learned that her husband had become Infatuated with a woman at 8t. Elmo w ho was known as Freda Fletcher. Mrs. Jenkins claimed to have received letters from the Fletciher woman. In which the most endearing terms were used concerning Major Jenkins. During all this time the latter had been sending money to his wife, and in 1894 he cams back home, when the question of a divorce was again discussed by husband and wife. It Is eaid that the Major on that occasion hotly declared that if Mrs. Jenkins would not apply for the divorce he would seek the separation himself. A short time later he brought the suit In the Circuit Court at Vandalla, IU., •'hanging Incompatibility. Mrs. Jenkins’s attorneys say that the notice of publication was made In a village newe?aper at Ferina. 111., and that their client had no opportunity of acquainting herself of the proceedings against her. Notwithstanding, Mr* Jenkins heard of the pending auk and hurried out to Vandalla. There she had an interview with her husband. and the result was that the Major dismissed the suit.Mrs. Jenkins continued to oppose a separation, and her attorneys Insist that ahe believed there would be no further action In that direction on her husband’s part. It is asserted that she first learned that She had been betrayed throught a St. Elmo newspaper sent her last November. A marke-l paragraph staged that Major Jenkins and his new bride had taken, room* In St. Elmo. Subsequently Mrs. Jenkins learned that the ’new bride was Freda Fletcher. The Indianapolis wife could get no news of her recreant husband other than contained in the newspaper and employed lawyers to look up the matter. After a good deal df corrcspooderK-e the attorneys found out that Major Jenkins had secured hi* divorce In East St. L/suls last August. Under the Illinois statutes, where a divorce has been obtained by publication and there has been a default, the defendant can, within three years after the decree has been Issued, come In with an answer showing why the divorce should be set aside. Under this law' attorney Hanna, acting for Mrs. Jenkins, filed a motion in the East 8t. Louis court for an investigation, and at the same time petitioned the court for alimony. The court set down the hearing for alimony for last Monday, when It came up.Mrs. Jenkins’s attorneys claimed that Jenkinp was not a resident of Illinois when the application for divorce was made, and further that he was actually living with his wife in Indianapolis when he averred that he did not know of her whereabouts. The defendant, in lh* motion, held that as there had been an actual severance of the marriage relation by a decree of a former term, the question of alimony could not be considered. The decree should first be set aside, so that the couple could be placed in their former positions of husband and wife, after which a motion for alimony, pending a suit, would be properly considered. The court held that a divorce procured when the defendant Is served by publication Is not a valid decree until the txplraticn of three years, and during the time the defendant may appear and ask leave to answer a* in an original suit. It WOUldMtot be fair, he said, to set aside the deorP; first, because If either of the parties had nrarrled subsequent to the entering of the decree an indictment for bigamy might follow. In case of the success of the defendant, however, the plaintiff would have no cause to complain of a criminal prosecution, as he accept* his decree at bis peril. The court decided that Mrs. Jenkins Is entitled to alimony, and announced that he would fix the amount later.Jenkins and his new wife are living in Mexico at present.
