Mrs. Bertha Bowley has filed suit for
divorce in the Shelby circuit court against her husband, James W. Bowley.
The complaint was filed by Attorneys Tindall & Walker late yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Bowley is a resident of this city while her husband is employed
in a grocery store at Logansport, where they lived before moving to this city
about two years ago. The complaint states that the couple were married June 13,
1894, and lived together as husband and wife until May 10, 1908. The plaintiff
charges her husband with cruel and inhuman treatment and alleges that he abused
her without any provocation on her part whatever. The complaint states that the
defendant frequently cursed her, calling her vile and abusive names and
epithets. On May 1 before their separation, the complaint alleges that the
defendant threatened to kick her down stairs and later did strike her in a
brutal manner. On the day of the separation the complaint states that the
defendant ordered the plaintiff to leave home and on the same day sold their
household goods. The defendant alleges that the plaintiff stayed out late at
night and when she would ask him where he had been he would tell her that it was
none of her business. According to the allegations in the complaint Bowley is a
habitual drunkard and has not contributed toward the support of the plaintiff
since their separation. Mrs. Bowley prays the court to grant her an absolute
divorce and asks that her maiden name be restored.
