DIVORCE CASE ORDER
MODIFIED BY COURT
----------
An order which was made at the time a divorce was granted
Charles I.
Fishel, of this city, and Mrs. Gertrude Fishel, of Hope, in the
Bartholomew Circuit Court, has been modified by Judge Donaker to the extent that
the father will be permitted to visit the two children, at the home of the
former wife, or at the home of his mother, Mrs. J. C. Fishel, at Hope.
Mr. Fishel had asked that he be permitted to keep the children at his home in
this city a part of the time, but the court refused the request. Fishel was
married several months ago to Miss Lora Brooks, of this city, formerly of
Hope. The first wife some time ago visited Judge Donaker at Columbus, and
remonstrated against the children being placed with the father a part of the
time. She said that she did not believe the daughter would go, even if the
petition of the father was granted.

DIVORCED AT COLUMBUS
----------
Mrs. Gertrude Fishel,
of Hope, has been granted a divorce from Charles I. Fishel on the cross complaint which she filed several days
ago. She was also given the custody of their two children and allowance of $10 a week for their support.
The case has been pending
for months. It was started in Columbus with Mr. Fishel’s action for a divorce, next it was located in Greensburg on a change of venue
and later was returned to Columbus. Mrs. Fishel charged her husband with infidelity, naming a Shelbyville woman as correspondent.
The Fishel's are prominently known in this section of the state.
