Intimidation and Fraud in Divorce and Property Case
In a partition suit filed by Julia Judge through Holtzman and Leathers, she alleges her husband James E. Judge obtained her signature to a Summit Street deed by intimidation and secured a divorce in Decatur through fraud while she lingered in Indianapolis awaiting a lawyer’s promise of a delay. She says letters from her husband during her absence supported reconciliation, but returning found the divorce finalized. She claims she signed waivers to avoid service and that Attorney A Donovan urged a second signature, disguising the instrument as the same paper but meant to trigger immediate trial. The defense seeks to delay partition pending an Illinois motion to set aside the divorce decree. A separate firemen’s committee has urged Prosecutor Wiltsie to prosecute Burton for the alleged murder of Frank Redmond, with Greenfield hearings slated soon.
