MARRIED THROUGH AN AGENT.
Mrs. Benjamin Was Unhappy, but
Court Refused to Interfere.
Mrs. Rebecca Benjamin, who says she is divorced from her first husband according to the law of Moses, was refused a divorce from her present husband yesterday by Judge McCune, who said he would not separate where love did not enter into the courtship of the contracting parties Mrs. Benjamin's present domestic life was arranged by a Chicago junk dealer who collected fees from both she and Benjamin before he introduced them, and then only by mail.
After Mrs. Benjamin recited the manner in which she sought and found her husband, Judge McCune assured her that nothing but misery could result from such a union and stated that he did not propose to help her find a way out. Judge McCune added that his court did not recognize the law of Moses, which gives divorce simply by the written consent of one person to another.
