Husband Returns; Wife is Married.
Remarkable Story Develops During Trial of 
Divorce Case in Cedar County District Court

	Tipton, May 7. - A story that reads like a tale of modern fiction was 
revealed on the witness stand in court this week when the divorce suit of 
Annie Glasser vs. George W. Glasser was called.  Glasser is a barber who lived 
in Tipton for a time early in the nineties, being employed in Harry 
Klosterman’s shop.  From here he went to Lowden where he opened a shop of his 
own and in 1893 was married to Miss Annie Spoo, a daughter of Mathias Spoo, a 
well known and well-to-do citizen of that place.  Two daughters were born to 
them.  After living with his family three and one-half years Glasser 
decamped.  He was heard from only once, when he wrote to his father-in-law in 
an effort to make a touch for $25.
	His long absence with no word led to the conclusion that he was dead 
and about a year and a half ago Mrs. Glasser, supposing she was a single 
woman, was married to a man named Abengroth.
	But like the proverbial bad penny, Glasser turned up.  Last fall he 
made his appearance in Stanwood as a tramp and was seen and recognized by the 
Caldwell boys.  He stated that he had been in the south and was going to 
Maquoketa where his parents lived.  Others who knew him also talked with him.  
He manifested no particular interest in the family he had deserted many years 
before and made no attempt to see them.  The news that he was very much alive 
led to the divorce proceeding which was heard this week.  It took Judge Smith 
a very short time to grant the decree when he learned the facts in the case, 
and a second marriage ceremony will doubtless follow quickly.
	Another feature out of the ordinary was the fact that Mrs. Glasser is 
deaf and dumb.  Her testimony was given through her 16-year-old daughter, who 
acted as an interpreter.	
	George was in Maquoketa some months ago having the appearance of a 
confirmed and besotted tramp.  He is a son of Jacob Glasser, but the family 
and relatives have long since given up all attempts to reform George, who was 
a pretty good boy in his youth. –Ed.
