get the drawings. She obeyed, but. it
is alleged, only did as commanded
and therefore cannot be punished for
the crime.

out the light and went downtown to
the office of a lawyer, where she ap
plied for a divorce.
“I married William Fields in Sep
tember, 1909,” she told the lawyer,
“and he left soon afterward. For ten
years I have been waiting for him to
return and have written numberless
letters. Each night during those ten
years I have kept a light burning in
the front window for him. But I have j
decided at last that I have been de
serted and I want a divorce.”
Judge Graham granted her a divorce.
