65-year-old Joseph E. Mayott (left) with attorney Hal Hughes during a court divorce proceeding from his wife Angelina. This is the second time the Mayotts have divorced. They were first married in 1899, then divorced in 1925 and remarried in 1933. Joseph Mayott filed for the divorce this time, citing cruelty and separation. He claimed that Angelina called him a tramp and a beggar. Joseph Mayott is said to be suffering from a rare disease which causes him to grow shorter. He was 5'7'' in 1923 and is now 4'3''
