Earle S. Warner

Earle Spear Warner (August 12, 1880 – December 1971) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

He was born on August 17, 1880, on a farm in the Town of Phelps, Ontario County, New York, the son of Henry D. Warner (1844–1908) and Frances Belle (Spear) Warner.

In 1908, he was appointed as Attorney of the Village of Phelps[2] and held this office until 1945.

He resigned his senate seat on January 22, 1945, and was appointed to the New York Supreme Court.

In June 1954, he decided to annul a marriage after thirteen years, and give custody of the two daughters to the wife, because the husband had committed a fraud by hiding from his wife his belief in communism.
