Mrs. Laura Houghton believed for many years that her husband, William W. Houghton, from whom she separated in 1862, was killed while serving in the rebel army. Several months ago her belief was changed, for she found Houghton married to another woman in Mobile, Ala. She had him arrested, but he procured his release by presenting a decree of divorce granted to him against Rose Ann Houghton in the Supreme Court here. Mrs. Houghton asserts that the decree was procured without notice to her, on untruthful testimony, and on a description of the defendant which did not appy to her. She was never named and never known as "Rose Ann," she says. Judge Donohue has issued an order to Houghton to show cause why the decree of divorce should not be set aside as fraudulent.
