Chicago, Illinois, June 20—The marital troubles of Prof. R.C. Journey, until last week an instructor at North Carolina State college of Raleigh, N.C., apparently were ended today when he was granted a divorce by Superior court by Judge Sabath. The affairs of the couple had figured in the news for half a year as a result of the allegations of Mrs. Helen Journey’s application for a divorce from Professor Journey and his subsequent filing of a counter bill of complaint.
Mrs. Journey filed her complaint last December seeking a divorce and charging her husband with extreme cruelty. Professor Journey came back with a cross bill and alleged that his wife had been guilty of misconduct with Oscar Harmon, a law student, who had roomed in the Journey home some time before the professor joined the North Carolina college faculty. Harmon, when placed on the stand, denied the teacher’s charges and testified that he had been hired by Professor Journey to compromise his wife.
Under the terms of the decision made by Judge Sabath today, Mrs. Journey will have the custody of their two children but the father will have the privilege of seeing them whenever he desires.
