An order to dismiss the motion for new trial upon the first verdict In the divorce suit of W. J. Wood against his wife, Mrs. Capltola Wood, was granted by Judge Pendleton Saturday afternoon. The motion to dismiss the motion was made by Attorney Luther Z. Rosser, representing Wood. Attorney Rosser argued that A mo tion to set aside the verdict could not be sustained because at the time the verdict of the Jury was rendered the allegation of Mrs. Wood that she was confined In the Insane asylum did not appear upon the record, and that In order to set aside the verdict a bill would have to be filed In chancery and the case determined by a Jury. Judge Pendleton sustained the point. A second motion to set aside the second verdict In the case Is now pending In the'superior court and Is set for a hearing next Saturday to follow a case now set os a special or der for that day. This motion Is based upon entirely different grounds from those set out In the motion dismissed Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Wood was not In the asylum at that time and she alleges as grounds for the motion that neither she nor her attorney were notl. fled that the case'would come up for triul 'on the day the,second verdict was Lecured. While this second motion Is pending -Mrs. Wood, through her attorney, J. L. James, will file a bill In equity in re gard to the first verdict and the merits cf that motion will be determined by a jury. ESTABLISHED 1861 LOWRY NATIONAL BANK OF ATLANTA.
