Kisses for Pajamas Start Divorce Suit

1920

New Form of Affection Is Quickly Noted by Judge

LONDON, England. — A professional gymnast, Ernest Dillon, asked the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of his wife's misconduct with Francis William Chamberlain, a store keeper.

Florence Baker testified she assisted Mrs. Dillon at the house. The witness said that one day Mrs. Dillon appeared to be very much upset and was caressing and kissing some pajamas, at the same time exclaiming, "Oh, Frank."

"Do you say she was kissing and caressing the pajamas?" asked the court.

The Witness: "Yes."

The Court: "Well, I thought I had exhausted all possible forms of human affection."

The hearing was continued until the pajamas, initialed "F. W. C." could be positively identified as Chamberlain's.

Mrs. Dillon used to assist her husband in his work, but after a time she gave up the stage and bred pedigree dogs. In this way she got to know Chamberlain.
