Warren, for divorce, was called to be roasted to a Drown before Judge Willet H. Parr. The attorneys generally thought the privacy of a court hearing would be the better course of procedure and it was the first trial that has not been publicly heard for some time.On Sept. 28, 1910, Mrs. Warren entered through her attorneys, Jones Murphy, of Crawfordsville, and S.M.
