Major Azor H. Nickorson's Wife Obtains a Divorce. HISTORY OP THD APPAIIl A Tnle TImt Itoada Llko Ono by modern Novoltit. "I never grantod a divorce moro cheerfully than I do this, ond I have granted several," said Justice Merrick, In the Equity Court to day. It was the case of Kmma C.

I). Ntckcrson against Aror II, Ntckcrson. The bill was filed June 20, 188J, and created considerable of sensation at tho lima. Tho defend nut was an olllctr In tho United States Army, and married tho complainant in San Trauclsco August 13, 1370. In March, 1870, bo bavlug been assigned to duty In the War Department, they came to this city to reside.

Tho wlfo's hcnltb bclug poor, In July, 1U30, sbo with her child, at her husband's suggestion, went abroad, lie kept up a corrcspondenco and sent remittances until May. 183, rrom May 31, 1832, to April 31, 18fJ. she was In I'arls or Dresden, uu able to understand tho sllcuco of her husband or cause- for tho treatment alio was receding. On the last date above ghen sbo received a telegram from her mother to tho clTcct that her bus band bad obtained a fraudulent divorce and married again. Mrs Klckerson tmmcdlaUlj returned to this country, aud finding tbat tho divorce) bad been fecured in a Philadelphia Lourt, she Instituted proceedings to lmu Una nulled for fraud and was successful.

it was developed that by false statements, supported by perjured testimony, Major Klckcrson bad secured tho decree. It was only a few days after doing so that bo returned to this city and married Miss Lena Delta Carter of No. 7 pout Circle, In whoso mother's house! ho was bourdlng at the) time, nod the couple went to ltaltlmoro to liavu the ceremony rerformtd. It Is just to say that Miss Carter believed tho representations made to Iter by Major iMtKireon, mat no was legally orecd nml free to marry. Tho first Mrs NIckersou, finding this stato of affairs on ber return from Kuropc, unit to work to undo sorno of the mUthlcf done nnd placo bcrsolf In a true light before tbo public.

After the ftaudttlent divorce obtained by Major islckerson bud been set aside, she petitioned foi dKorce, chuglug him with adultery nnd cruelty, asking alimony, custody of tbelr child aud permission to resume ber maiden uamo of Dtnma Cecelia Derby. In addition she filed a bill in equity to secure her share of tho property owned by ber husband and transferred by blm to Miss Carter. When these circumstances came to light army circles were astounded, and the scandal spread with remarkable speed, Major Mckerson had stood high with his fellow officers, and was doomed above tho committal of such au act. Hut the difficulty Into which tho false hnsbind bad got himself did not end hero lbe Philadelphia court, which bad boon Imposed upou, transferred tlu matter luihu prus.cullni; attorney, and sjmi Islckerfon wa Indicted for obtaining a dlorcc through fraud and suboumllon of perjury, At tlio Fame tl tu tbe War Department bal taken tho cae up and ordered a court martial to trj tbu officer on the charge of perjury aud nllur frpccIMcatious It was cldeiil that tbo sliuulnn was be-coinlug too hot for the Major, and be sought a cooler climate In Canada, wheio liu has since resided. traiifuctliv his business iu tho United States through counsel and friends His attorney In this easu admitted that there was no defense to lbo charge preferred, nnl that tbo wife was entitled to the dlvorco sbo prajed for.
