TWO CAMDEN WOMEN WERE REFUSED DIVORCES The Court of Chancery yesterday filed a decree in the divorce case of Mary E. Shaw vs. Policeman Albert Shaw. The complainant in her bill asked for counsel fees, alimony and separation on the ground of desertion. In filing the decree, the Court, said that they found from the evidence that the desertion if any was on the part of the complainant and her bill was dismissed. Lawyer W. T. Boyle represented Policeman Shaw. Vice-Chancellor Reed yesterday filed a decree, refusing a divorce to Mrs. William Sand, the wife of William Sand, the saloon keeper, of Haddon avenue and Line street, on a charge of brutality. This is Mr. Sands' second wife and she said that her husband abused her continually since 1895. On one occasion she said he beat her and broke her jaw because a cock fight held in the cellar of his saloon did not end in a manner to suit him. The court held that there was brutality but the woman's conduct was not all that it should have been.
