Newton v. Lehman

This action was instituted by a complaint for declaratory judgment by plaintiff, Bernard E. Newton, as against defendant, Mamie Lehman. In the complaint plaintiff prayed that the court find that the parties were not legally married.

Lehman, 67 Ill App2d 302, 214 NE2d 142). The issues considered on the previous appeal are of no further significance at this time.
