Two Sisters Shed Common Husband in Topeka Case

The Newberry sisters from Holyoke Massachusetts, Grace Dorothy Newbe and Amelia Annamae Newbe, were involved in a Kansas case. Grace Dorothy claimed marriage to Ira Lee Morris while Amelia Annamae contested it, leading Judge Beryl Johnson to invalidate the second marriage for Grace Dorothy’s misrepresentation of age. Amelia Annamae was found legally married to Morris under Kansas law, but she filed for divorce. Morris, a 40 year old lathe operator at Forbes AFB, sat silent as the judge ruled. In a separate note, a Chicago report notes a rabbit used in an experiment was refused by a lab due to exclusive use of female bunnies at Wesley Memorial Hospital.
