The Strong Divorce Case
Of this case, a New York dispatch gives the following summary. It will be recollected that the jury has since been discharged not being able to agree upon a verdict: The STRONG divorce case, which has occupied the attention of the court for over five weeks, and so largely filled the columns of the papers here, was, on Friday, after a charge from judge GARVIN, given to the jury, who up to 10 oclock on Saturday night, had not agreed upon a verdict. The parties to the suit are Mr. Peter Remsen STRONG, plaintiff, and Mrs. Mary Stevens STRONG, Defendant. Mr. STRONG prays for a divorce, charging that his wife, at sundry times, violated her marriage vow with her brother-in-law, Edward N. STRONG, and she, in defending herself, denies the fact, but claiming that even it if were true, her husband had forgiven her and lived with her, while as a matter of law and equity he was equally guilty, having had, at divers times, laid himself open to similar charges.
The main source of trouble seems to be the custody of the two STRONG children, one of whom is at present with her father, the other having been taken away by her mother several months since, in defiance of a writ issued by the Supreme Court. Mrs. STRONGs absence is thus accounted for and her father, Mr. STEPHENS, communicates with her only through her counsel, so that he can, with absolute truth, say that he knows nothing of her whereabouts. The relatives on either side are greatly interested in the matter, and testify with great readiness on points involving half the crimes mentioned in the decalogue, revealing a state of morals quite undreamed of by the uninitiated in the mysteries and miseries of fashionable life.
