. Yesterday Springfield learned that the romance had gone on the rocka In the divorce courte of Son- ora state. Mesicu. Attorneyr for Northrup here confirmned reporte i that he had obtained a divorce on the grounds of desertion. The de- cree stipulated that neither he nor Mra. Northrup were to receive all- monr.
Failure of Mrs. Northrup to share the responsibil !: les of her husband's social life caused their separation in Septeniber. 19:5, and the recent .11- torce, according to Fred A. Moon. atturney for Mr Northrup in the Jivorer action.
Springfield society. somewhat
thrilled. watched the Northrup
years ago. After

SHE RETURNED, HOME
But the romance ended abrutply In September. /1925 .: +when Mra. Northrup returned i to": her home here. She did not return to Mex- ico, and Northrup began divorce proceedings about six months Ago. There was little opposition to the euit, but legal papers had to be ap. proved and teapproved by author- ities in Mexico and the Mexican runsul at St. louis, so that severul n.onthe pamerd before the decree Was granted finally.
Mr. Northrup is a member of the Church of England, and the laws of the church forbid him to marry again.
