2 Husbands, Wife Win Divorce Suits

2 HUSBANDS, WIFE WIN DIVORCE SUITS Charges of Desertion Bring Recommendation for Marital Freedom Three divorce decrees were recommended by Advisory Master William B. Knight yesterday in uncontested actions charging desertion. Mrs. Theresa B. Baldwin, of 20 Haddon avenue, was awarded custody of her two children, 13 and 11 years old, in her suit against William H. Baldwin, of 2946 High street. Married Oct. 7, 1925, he deserted her in November, 1937, the woman testified. Paul L. Skeggs, of 4965 Oxford street, Philadelphia, and Russell E. Lord, of 106 Ogden avenue, Collingswood, both were married in Elkton, Md., the former May 10, 1923; the latter Nov. 13, 1937. Skeggs said his wife, Helen I., of 922 Spruce street, left him in February, 1932, saying she was "fed up" with married life and its responsibilities. Numerous attempts to induce her to return were unavailing, Skeggs said. Lord gave similar testimony concerning his wife, Amorel B., of Bloomfield, who left him March 17, 1939, after a little over a year of marriage.
