Justice Lawrence, in the Supreme Court, yesterday declared another Oklahoma divorce invalid, and awarded to the wife. Mrs. Margaret Driscoll, against whom the Oklahoma courts had given judgment, a decree against her husband, John F. Driscoll. A year ago the latter went to Oklahoma, where he got a decree against his wife on the ground of cruelty and abandonment. Then he came back to this city. His wife had him arrested in a suit for absolute divorce. Driscoll did not appear, 'but Justice Lawrence holds that the Oklahoma divorce has no validity whatever, as Mrs. Driscoll was not a resident there, and as she never appeared in the action the court never had jurisdiction over her. BAY STATE GAS SHARES MAY BE SOLD. Justice Andrews has dissolved a temporary Injunction obtained by Lawson, Wiesenfeld & Co. restraining William Buchanan from disposing of $103,000 worth of income bonds and 5,000 shares of stock of the Bay State Gas Company, which he holds as collateral for a note for $50,000 made by Lawson, Wiesenfeld & Co.
