CRAVEN VS. CRAVEN
By a night session, the divorce case of Evangeline Craven vs. J.E. Craven venued from this county to Putnam, was concluded Saturday. The court took the matter under advisement. After the conclusion of the evidence, the case was submitted without argument. It is generally conceded, according to the Greencastle Banner, that a divorce would be granted, the amount of alimony requiring some consideration. The cruelty alleged in the complaint was set out in detail upon the witness stand. At one time the defendant, according to the story related by the plaintiff, took a revolver out of a chest of drawers and went to a peach orchard but evidently changed his mind and did not shoot himself. Another time the plaintiff said she asked the defendant if he still loved her and he shook his head and said he did not. The plaintiff then went on with her story and told of how things went until the separation occurred in August.

DIVORCE GRANTED
The divorce case of Cravens vs. Cravens [sic], which was venued here from Hendricks county and which took up two days of Circuit court last week, was decided by Judge Hughes, Wednesday morning, says the Greencastle Banner. The plaintiff asked for a divorce and $5,000 alimony. Judge Hughes gave her the divorce and judgment for $3,165. This, together with $200 which she was allowed to pay the costs of the suit, amounts to the sum of $3,365. She will have to pay the expenses of her witnesses who came here from Hendricks county to testify. The settlement of this case closes one of the most lurid cases ever tried in Putnam Circuit court and all connected with it will probably be glad that it has ended. The defendant is required to pay all costs except those specified to the plaintiff in the above.
