Omaha Man Up a Stump
Since "Temporary Divorce"
Fell Through.
Getting a divorce from his wife ir.
order to lie naturalized and to bring
he.- to this country from Russia and
remarry her, availed Hersyl Feld
ma;1. nothing.
For , yesterday District Judge
Sears refused to grant him his sec
ond naturalization papers and scored
him for his failure to go to Russia
and bring his family here.
"I don't know what I will do
now!" exclamied Feldman as he left
the room.
'Tt seems to me that you obtained
your divorce by a fraud upon this
ccurt," declared Judge Sears. "If
yoit were anxious to be united with
Vour family you could have com
municated with the United States
authorities near the place where it
!s located."
Feldman said that he has done
everything possible and would go
to Russia himself, if he were , not
afraid the bolsheviki would caus-;
him trouble.
Now that the "temporary divorce
did not work, Feldman is undecided
.hat to do.
