JUDQE CANN COMMEND8 JURY
AND SOUNDS WARNING
FROM BENCH.
8pcclal to The Georgian.
, Savanah, Oa., Juns 7.—In. the su
perior court Tuesday Judge Cann, aft
er disposing of n number of divorce
rases, took occasion to commend the
juries for providing In some cases that
the offending party should not' be al
lowed to remarry. The preaiding Judge
expressed the opinion that such restric
tions would have a wholesmne effect
and would tend to decrease the num
ber of divorcee. Reference was Also
made to the Increase In divorces.
You are probably unaware of haw
this divorce buelnese Is on ths In
in this county,” said Judge
Cann. “It la a matter over which
the Judge has absolutely no control.
The court feels that Jt Is not within
his province to charge the grand Jury
on the subject.
"An long as husband or wife
guilty of flagrant violations of the
marriage vow the best interests of so
ciety may require that dlvorcsw be
granted. Whatevor our personal views,
those laws now stand. But the law
wisely provides that ths Jury has the
right to put'tho party In the wrung
under certain disabilities, nnd may deny
lo ths person who has flagrantly vio
lated the marriage vow the right to
perpetrate such outrages on any fu
ture husband or wife.
-The records show that In this coun
tv In 1902 there were 140 divorce cases
disposed of; there were 142 In 1904,
and In 1196 there wero 111. At the
same time there has been an approrl
able decrease In (he number of ali
mony cases, this being due to the strict
showing which the Judge has required,
that being a matter under his con
trot"
