Mrs. Ella Wiltbank, wife of Peter Wiltbank, the well-known real estate speculator, has commenced suit for divorce for her husband on the grounds of desertion and unfaithfulness. The couple are of highly-respected families and wealthy. Mr. and Mrs. Wiltbank lived in Egg Harbor City, a few miles form this place, and their home was a happy one until a year ago, when the wife frequently saw her husband kissing the photograph of a Mrs. King.
Things went on smotthly for a while, when, finally, he withdrew his support, in March last departed from her and their two children. The suit for divorce was sought in the Camden County Court, and yesterday Vice Chancellor Green heard the testimony in the case. Mr. Wiltbank made no defense.
