A WIFE FOR THIRTY-THREE YEARS SEEKS DIVORCE
The suit of Caroline S. ROLL for a limited divorce from her husband,
Christian F. ROLL, on the ground of cruelty, came up before Chief Judge
NEILSON without a jury, yesterday afternoon, in the City Court. The parties
have been married thirty-three years and during all that time have resided in
this city, where the husband carried on the business of a barber. Counter
charges of cruelty and abandonment against the wife were made by ROLL, who
also charges that the wife before bringing the suit secured all his real and
personal property amounting to about $45,000. The parties have two
daughters, one of whom is 21 and the other 23 years of age. Since the suit
was brought the eldest daughter has lost her reason and was arrested a few
weeks ago by an officer who found her in Prospect Park acting in a manner
which was decidedly erratic. She is now in the Flatbush Lunatic Asylum. The
ROLL family is well known in the Fifth Ward and was always highly spoken of
until the quarrel between the husband and wife was made public. Argument in
the case will be heard next week.
