Salzman for divorce was dismissed by the Judge for want of sufficient evidence, not all of the former's witnesses being there Mr. Salzman informs us he offered in advance of the suit to get a divorce himself on the grounds of desertion next June if the prosecution would dismiss the ease until that time.
