• 09 Apr 1921 The divorce trial of Eleanor against Ora C'ne, which went to trial in superior court before Judge Ballou yesterday proved to be devoid of thrills despite extensive advertising which it received several weeks ago, when the plaintiff announced some rather unusual plans in connection with the trial. Court officers, it is learned, frowned on any plan to issue invitations to the trial or drape a costume on the little daughter of the parties in the presence of the court. The evidence heard yesterday was just the oft repeated recital of incompatability after the first flush of remance has faded and many of the spectators who were present when the case was called did not stay until the court adjourned. The intoduction of evidence was not completed at 5 o'clock and the hearing will be resumed to-day.

"He often slapped me," she told the court, and went on to tell how she had been made to shake out the furnace while in a delicate condition. The case so far appears to be one of allegation and denial. Practically all the testimony given by one party was directly contradicted by the other, and no proof of any statement was introduced.

Mr. C'ne stated that he could not pay any such sum. The testimony revealed many peculiarities in the conduct of the household. Mr. C'ne designed hats and clothing for his eife, and she stated that she was expected to attend to the furnace. Mr. C'ne denied that he had every called is wife by any other epithet than "fool," and sought to prove to the satisfaction of the court that he was justified in its use.

The plaintiff, in describing her brief marital experience while on the stand testified that her husband married her, wept continuously for two weeks, threatened to kill himself and then deserted her.

• 22 Jun 1921 Judge Ballou was forced to become a private detective late yesterday afternoon when a case in superior court developed into a tangle that required his personal supervision in the solution, the defendant in a divorce suit denying the allegations of her husband regarding support and extraneous witnesses being required. About two weeks ago Calvin Rohrbaugh filed a suit for divorce from Matilda Rohrbaugh, alleging that the defendant was unfaithful to him. He named a co-respondent and told of having been knocked down by his wife's paramour when he remonstrated with her for staying out with him until 1 o'clock in the morning. When his wife learned of the suit she "put her arms around hime and cried," he says. He made preparations with his attorney to dismiss the suit and at the suggestion of his wife, borrowed $300 in order that she "could go away and rest her disordered nerves," he says. He went with her to a loan agency, and after mortgaging his furniture, gave her $260 of the amount, he told the court. Two days after he fave his wife enough money to go away with, she filed a cross-complaint for divorce against him, and precluded any chance of his dismissal of the original suit, he says. Mrs. Rohrbaugh flatly denied having received the money from him since May 5. "One of you two is lying," the judge remarked sternly. Both reiterated their statements regarding the money. Rohrbaugh told of having allowed his wife $107 a month for the past two years by working overtime. His salary is $86 a month, but by hard work he is able to double it quite often, he said. It developed that he was supporting not only his wife but her brother and his wife and child. There was an agreement for the payment of $20 a month for their support, which was not attended to, he testified. "That is all for the present," Judge Ballou told the attorneys. "I will take the matter of support under advisement," he added. The judge personally satisfied himself as to the financial situation of the woman after obtaining certain data from her husband. Telephone communication with tradesman with whom the woman dealt, showed that she was in possession of "quite a roll of cash," paid "spot cash," and was a "good customer," She had forgotton the necessity for support until more than two weeks after he separation from her husband, and nearly six weeks after the las time she said she received any money from him, it developed. Rohrbaugh complained to his attorney that he had been followed for several days by a woman. The woman followed him into the courthouse, he said, and proceeded to point her out. It was remarked that she followed him out again, too.

He started to furnish a small apartment in an undersirable district for her, and then let the payments on the furniture lapse, and it was removed, she said. When she remonstrated with him, he sighed because the laws of this county prohibited him from killing her, she declared. "I'd stick this knife into you and turn it around if I had you in my country," she quoted him as saying, adding that he said that he regretted that he "could not get away with it over here." Hassen would not allow his wife to attend the church of the "Chrisitan dogs," as he termed them, and insisted that they live in a colored neighborhood, she said. He was not interested in her threats to have him arrested on charges of non-support, she said. Mrs. Hassen said that he had only lived in this country for four years when she married him. Judge Ballou was curious to know why she married him in the first place. "I was in hard circumstances at the time, " the woman replied. "Was marriage of convenience?" inquired the judge. "Not exactly - he said that he would protect me," she replied.

"She bit me like a doge," Mrs. France exclaimed when telling of a fuss with a neighbor over the custody of a child. "I couldn't use my hand for weeks afterwards," she added. Mrs. France told the court that she had been married to two other men before she married France, and had three children by her first marriage, one during her second and another during her most recent.

Fordyce, former Fort Wayne policeman, Saturday filed suit against Emma Fordyce, who was refused a divorce from him June 2, by Judge Ballou after one of the most sensational divorce hearings in the local courts for several months. Mrs. Fordyce sought to implicate her husband with the murder of Asa Hardesty, who was attacked while on duty as night watchman in Moellering's coal yard last fall, and died as a result of his injuries.

Fernwald states that Parry induced the plaintiff to leave him in April, and that Parry and the woman lived together at 1657 High street for several months, posing as man and wife. He alleges that he has evidence to prove that Parry took Mrs. Fernwald on several trips from the state when his duties, as an employe of the Nickel Plate railroad made such trips necessary. They visited several cities together, he says, posing as husband and wife, brother and sister and father and daughter in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. He alleges that July 28 the woman reappeared at his hime, and a few past minor differences having been settled, he brought her a home on Milton avenue, where, he says, she stayed one day before Parry induced her to leave him again. After she had left him a second time, he declares, his neighbors and friends placed evidence of her alleged infidelity in his hands. He states that up to the time that they commenced to give him information, he had no evidence that she was unfaithful. The defendant asks the custody of his son Oliver, aged 11, in his cross complaint, alleging that his wife is not a proper person to control the destinies of a child. He also alleges that the co-respondent is not a fit person with which to entrust a child, either, since he says that he has had reports from his neighbors that the man beats and otherwise mistreats the child.

• 31 Aug 1921 Matilda Rohrbaugh was granted a divorce from Calvin Rohrbaugh in superior court yesterday and granted $300 alimony, payable in 15 months. The case went to the cross complaint when the plaintiff withdrew. The allegations in the original compalint and in subsequent petitions for support indicated that the case would be of a sensational character when it came to a hearing, but nothing but the recitation of a sordid domestic tale has been heard up to the time when the plaintiff withdrew his complaint. The plaintiff stated in his complaint that his wife returned home rearly on Sunday morning with a man, who gave him a black eye for remonstrating with his wife for her alleged infidelity. Rohrbaugh stated that the man apparently knew more than he did about his wife's health. He told the court of his suspicions of his wife's misconduct and of his attempts to ascertain the truth. He told of hiding when his wife received a visitor, and declared that "they must have known that he was there," since the behaved with propriety. He named Arthur Brandenburger as co-respondent. Amusement was created in court by the attitude of Harry Hogan, for the defendant, who pretended anxiety to know whether the plaintiff was disguised when "Spying upon his wife." Rohrbaught was allowed to retain his furniture, which he valued at $2,000.

• 01 Sep 1921 The only two allegations in the divorce complaint of Frank Wagner, that Lenora Wagner admits to be true, are that she is married to him and that they separated in January, 1919, according to a sensational cross complaint fild by the woman yesterday in superior court. She brands her husband's complaint of the "supposed abuses" he has suffered at her hands to be a "tissue of falsehoods," and states that they were all incorporated in a complaint filed against her in 1919 and were disproved at the hearing of the case. Mrs. Wanger states that she did file suit against him 10 or 12 years ago, but withdrew the complaint upon his promise to behave. She says that at the time the man was under arrest for a "criminal assault upon a woman," She worked to obtain his release, she says. The cross complaint alleges that her husband "thrashed her for doubting his morality" when she returned from a visit to Chicago and told him of finding enidences that another woman has occupied her place in the home. She names Clara Vaures as a co-respondent, stating that police shot at her husband as he left her home by way of a basement window to avoid arrest. Wagner exchanged baskets of provisions for his laundry, the cross complaint avers, adding that the man was such a familiar figure around the woman's house that her two children called him "daddy." He also rented a place for a woman named Katherine in the Pixlie-Long block under the name of a well known and respected gentleman of Fort Wayne, living with her as man and wife, she alleges. Her husband endeavored to ruin her, Mrs. Wagner says, after her father had bought her a rooming house with a partial payment down, by letting payments upon it lapse, but her father again came to her assistance and she is now in comfortable circumstances. "Brought up in a religion that is adverse to divorce," Mrs. Wagner states that she regrets that her husband has forced her to seek her freedom.

Tears stood in the woman's eyes as she related the manner of her husband's departure. He gave her a nickel for street car fare to visit her parents and left her home while she was out, she said. Mrs. Creighton's story upon the wirness stand was pathetic in the extreme. She told the court of her marriage to Creighton in 1916, how she had bought a suit of clothes to wear at his wedding, bought him a team of horses so that he could start in a business of his own and how he had beaten and choked her during the two years of their married life, which ended with his desertion of her. Creighton insured the horses, she said, and then poisoned one of them to collect the insurance, she said, and intimated that as she carried a large amount of insurance herself she became fearful of her life. Creighton wrote the following note to his wife when he departed: "Darling wife: As I am doing something that in most ways does not seem right, I am looking at it in a different way. I am going to step out of our home until I get my mind straight. Well, I am going to take one of your watches - the on with your picture in it. I won't take it with me, so you will know where it is. Don't worry about me, for I think that things will turn out all right yet. You dispose of the things as fast as you can. The Carl company will sell the horse for you and you will get the difference. I will write to you later to take care of yourself, from Sherman, good-bye." Judge Ballou read the woman's letter from her husband and granted her a divorce and the restoration of her maiden name, Anna Doonte. The man has been married four time before, it developed, but the woman stated that she did not know it when she married him. "Never again," the woman remarked to the judge through her tears as she left the court room.
