CAUSED SEPARATION

Irvin D. Howery Filed Suit For Divorce

----------
Married About Six Months

The complaint states that the couple were married in this city on September 18, 1909, and lived together as husband and wife until April 12, 1910, when they separated and have since lived apart. The couple went to housekeeping shortly after their marriage and all was tranquil; and quiet in their household until the day of the separation. In the complaint Mr. Howery avers that he has always conducted himself as a good true and loving and devoted husband and that he has never been guilty of breaking his marriage vows. On the day the estrangement took place the plaintiff states the he went home from his work expecting to find a good meal prepared and to receive a warm welcome from his wife. Imagine his surprise when he found his wife waiting for him to come home but in a decidedly different frame of mind from what he had expected to find her. As soon as he appeared on the scene Mr. Howery alleges that his wife began to accuse him of associating with other women, whose character is not above reproach. To prove her assertions Mrs. Howery brought forth the night clothing worn by him the night before and showed him stains, which she claimed bore mute testimony that he had been guilty of associating with other women of ill repute. Mr. Howery avers that he attempted to remonstrate with his wife and show her that she was laboring under the wrong impression but to no avail. The complaint states that the plaintiff and his wife occupied the same bed on the night preceding the day of their separation and that his wife’s allegations relative to his conduct could have not been true.
The plaintiff states that his wife still insisted that he had been guilty of wrong doing notwithstanding all the argument that he could advance. Mr. Howery states that his wife was not satisfied with upbraiding him and took his night clothing to the homes of neighbors where she showed them the brown stains on his clothing and said that she would not live with him any more.
The climax in their domestic tribulations happened when Howery returned home from his work and found the doors to his home locked and his clothing and belongings piled out in the yard. Mr. Howery states that he searched the neighborhood for his wife, but when he failed to find her whereabouts he removed his effects to the home of his father, where he has since been staying. The complaint avers that his wife’s allegations are false and that he has never had improper relations nor been afflicted with venereal disease since his marriage. He prays the court to grant him an absolute divorce.
