HUSBAND OF TWO GRANTED DIVORCE Judge Permits War Veteran to Remarry in Strange Matrimonial Tangle, to The Indianapolis SHELBYVILLE, July Stevens of Franklin, one of the princepals in an extraordinary matrimonial entanglement that was disclosed here recently, was granted an absolute divorce this evening in the Shelby Circuit court from Queenie Allene Stevens Loyce, Fla. The nature of the ruling of the case by Judge H. C. Morrison permits Stevens at once to remarry his second wife, from whom he separated last February, when status of his first marriage was questioned by the government.

The evidence in the complaint, which was filed by Stevens, was the most unusual in the history of the court here and required several days for deliberation before the court reached a decision. Stevens desired an absolute divorce in trial of the case in which the de. fendant was not present, in order that he might immediately marry again. The Indiana law prohibits remarriage for two years where a divorce is granted, and only newspaper publication of the case has been made, the defendant not being present for the trial. However.

Judge Morrison granted the absolute decree on the theory that the defendant, living in Florida, was aware of the proceedings, that she had signed a waiver of appearance for the case and had every knowledge of the pendency of the complaint.

His wife, believing him dead, remarried at Loyce, Fla. Stevens recovered from the wounds and returned to the United States, later going to his -home at Franklin. He was informed by a relative in Loyce, that his first wife had married again and, supposing she had divorced him, he married A.

girl at Franklin. They became the parents of a child. He was receiving compensation from the government and was taking vocational training. when the government requested a report on the standing of his Arst marriage. Then Stevens discovered that his Arst wife had not obtained a divorce and he and his second wife separated until he could get the decree and remarry her.
