Gambler, mr husband, a New York bank cash lot, according . to a decision handed down In her action by the Supreme court this afternoon. Gambler's suit for annullment of the marriage Is on the fall calendar for jury trial. "Wan Not Deserted." Justice Pendleton, who wrote the decision, finds that Mrs. Gambler was not deserted by her husband, within the meaning of the law, because (be desertion was justifiable. 'Mrs. Gam bier's effort at reconciliation the oourt finds could not be accepted In good faith. If at the time she Is said to have sought a reconciliation she was con ducting herself with another man in the manner testified to by some wit nesses, the court held that her efforts could only be received as Intended for the purpose of litigation. "It would be impossible to recon cile such conditions with a relief that she entertained a feeling of. love for her husband or was willing to live with him." the decision reads. It was testified at the trial, which had several sensational features, that Mrs. Gambler was often seen In the company of "an unknown man," The court says, "This was scarcely In accord with the customary prop riety for married woman." On the other hand, the decision states Gambler "loved the plaintiff, married her with every Intention of do Lag his duty by her, and treated . her with ' a-reat consideration..- kind.! neas" and attention. : VZt 1 possible If he had treated her with less consideration and had been more selfish It would have been better for her and both of them," the. decision continued, "as to the fCvmttnoed on page seven) CITIZEN'S BIG S5.B40 COT-TEST WILL GET FAIRLY STABTED THIS WEEK Still Plrnty of Room for Hustlers Enter Your Today or Help Some Contestant Win Old you read the list published Sunday of the candidates who have entered the Citizen's 5.40 Prise Sub scription Contest?
