WIFE BEAT HUSBAND
IN FILING COMPLAINT
----------
Mr. Blackburn is associated with his father in the operation of a restaurant here. He and his wife were married September 24, 1914 and separated last Saturday. Mrs. Blackburn resides at 814 south West street and in her complaint she asks for the custody of their son, Hugh, 8 years old, and allowance of $15 a week until the trial of the case and $10 a week after that.
The complaint charges that Mr. Blackburn called his wife vile names that he threatened to strike her, told her to leave and that he did not love her. Mrs. Blackburn alleges that her husband spent his evenings at pool rooms and remained out all night. She states that he refused to take her any place or to visit her relatives, only taking her to his relatives several times.
Failure to provide is charged. Mrs. Blackburn says that her husband bought her only one coat in eleven years, telling her she did not need clothes and the he could not afford to buy them. Last August he bought an automobile costing $1,200, she states, and is paying $50 a month for the car and $8 a month for storage. He spends a great amount of money in poolrooms, she states. Her relatives and his relatives were forced to provide clothing for the child. The plaintiff also alleges that Mr. Blackburn objected to having children and remained away from home for two months before their son was born, and for seven weeks after.
