The opinion reviews previous revocation and affirms the refusal based on lack of legitimacy and risks of commercializing ceremonies. Additional suits include absolute divorces for Henry and Sarah True and Charles H. Evans, plus a Canada dispute over a nine year patent partnership with Percy H. Moora. The court also ordered a Saturday clerk’s office closing hour change from 12:36 to 12.
