A Grand Guignol "Thriller" in Real Life, This Unusual and Uncomfortable Stratagem by Which a Rich Swedish Merchant Secured Divorce from the Wife Who Loved Another

IT is not often that real life supplies the peculiar sort of plot required In the hair-raisins plays which luivo made the Theatre Grand Guignol, of Farls, famous the world over. Yet a divorce case just tried in Stockholm, Sweden, presented evidence that shows a faithless wife and her male accomplice to have flirted in scenes that could hardly be improved upon at the Grand Guifinol, where the sential slap; "props" ard coffins and shrouds, bottles of vitriol and knives dripping with stage blood.

Divorce court records reveal Trniny Ingenious runes Whereby wives and husbands have secured evidence of the faithloBsne.su of their wedded partners; but this appears to be the first instance of a husband accomplishing such a feat by having himself pronounced dead and placed in a coffin ready for burial.

That, is the feat that was successfully performed by Karl Petersen, a well-to-do citizen of the Swedish capital. Upon evidence thus presented the • court granted him a divorce from the handsome woman to whom he had been married barely a year.
