DIVORCE - WITNESSES.
Mr. Glessner offered a resolution that the Committee on Rights and Privileges, to which was referred the bill [S. 117] be instructed to consider the propriety of so amending the bill as to allow parties to a divorce suit to testify when both may be in court. His judgment is that no better amendment could be made to prevent the granting of divorces - it would be a bar to two-thirds of divorces granted now if the truth were known to the court.
Laid on the table, upon a divison; affirmative, 19; negative, 10.
