Justice Lambert in Special Term
of the Supreme Court at Buffalo yesterday
handed down a decision in favor
of Mrs. Adele F. Zaggle of North
Tonawanda who sued her husband,
George Zaggle of the same city, for
divorce. An interlocutory judgment
was granted. The Zaggles formerly
lived at No. 268 Tremont street. The
husband is employed as a machinist
at the Gillie Engine & Boiler Com-
pany's plant on Tonawanda street.
Sensational charges were made
against Zaggel by his wife. The two
free use of Zaggel's boot was the principal
cause which Mrs. Zaggel gave as
the start of the trouble. Besides this,
the complainant claimed to have found
that another woman was being ad-
mired by the man from whom she
would separate.
The Zaggel's were married here
eight years ago. They had one child,
a daughter, now four years of age.
Zaggel had a good position and was
earning enough money to have a com-
fortable home and a bank account. In-
deed, everything seemed propitious for
the proverbal "happy life ever after"
until there came a change in the hus-
band's disposition, so Mrs. Zaggel
says, about two years ago. He began
going out nights and returning home
in the early morning, she alleges and
when she remonstrated, he abused
her. Finally, she declares, he kicked
her out, not only figuratively, but act-
ually. She returned, then he kicked
her out again and the kicking out pro-
cess later became a mania with him
so that one night, on being kicked out,
she never came back.
After the separation, Mrs. Zaggel
told the court that she heard stories
of another woman, some mysterious
damsel of flashy appearance, living in
a road house. She did some detective
work of her own and finally presented
the evidence she had accumulatedd to
her lawyer. Thereupon an action for
divorce was started and yesterday Jus-
tice Lambert handed down the decid-
ion that set Mrs. Zaggel free.
