From the Cincinnati newspaper, The Enquirer, Tuesday, June 26, 1888: "A 'State of things' was developed yesterday at the hearing of the divorce suit of Samuel HIRSCH against Mary HIRSCH. The woman, through her ignorance and fondness for men other than her legal husband, committed a crime punishable by imprisonment in the Penitentiary. It is not probably, however, that she will be prosecuted. The couple were married May 31, 1882. In 1885 she left him and went to Cleveland with a man named Pat MACKLIN. She returned in a short time and confessed that she had committed an unpardonable sin. MACKLIN also told HIRSCH that his wife's story was true. HIRSCH would not live with her after that. She had sold all her household furniture before she went away with MACKLIN. When her husband refused to live with her and filed suit for divorce she supposed that the bringing of the suit released her from all obligations as his wife. She therefore, not long afterward married a man named Michael SCULLY, in Covington. She is now living with him in this city. This was the story told to Judge Evans, and he allowed HIRSCH a divorce."
