Neville tells how his first wife was up before a judge for a small offence that carried six months in jail, how he pleaded with the judge to forgive her, how she then asked him for the divorce papers, and how he got his divorce in New York City while sleeping in the assumption that he was already married to his present wife. The page also reproduces Neville's account of pleading for Mildred after her arrest and then receiving the divorce papers. The source records the decree against Mildred and reproduces Neville's account of pleading for leniency after her arrest before she accepted the papers.
