2 WOMEN GRANTED DECREES OF DIVORCE
Two women who said they were forced to leave their husbands won divorce recommendations from Advisory Master William B. Knight yesterday.
Mrs. Mary Joslin, 1890 Mulford street, said that after “15 or 20 preliminary separations,” her husband, Felix, ordered her and their son out of their home in July, 1933, because she refused to go with him to Sea Isle City “and live in a tent on the beach for the July 4 holiday.”
Mrs. Joslin said she was married in July, 1907, and that her husband started quarreling with her a few months after their marriage. She testified her husband ordered their daughter, Mrs. Catherine Shaw of Camden, out of their home in 1927.
Joslin, whose address was given as 358 Atlantic avenue, had filed suit for divorce against his wife, alleging desertion. Mrs. Joslin filed a countersuit. Later Joslin dropped his suit.
