----------
Edward Rouse, 48, Charged by
Mrs. Hazel Strange With
Performance of Illegal Oper-
ation.
----------
Rouse, who is the father of six children, and whose wife passed away about a year ago following the birth of a child, denies his guilt and today named another man whom he charges performed the abortion. Mrs. Strange, however, when interviewed at the hospital, insisted that Rouse is responsible for her condition.
According to her story, she had been making her home with the defendant on the Elmer Bassett farm, north of this city on State Road 9, since the death of his wife about a year ago. She told authorities that she has a husband and four children living in Dayton, O., and that a few months ago she entered divorce proceedings, planning to marry Rouse when she received her divorce.
Mrs. Strange was admitted to the W. S. Major hospital here on Sept 6, suffering from effects of the alleged abortion. A short time later she was discharged from the hospital and was taken to the county infirmary. Her condition became such, however, that it was necessary to again move her to the hospital and physicians now hold slight hope for her recovery.
The case is one of the most sordid that has been under investigation here for many years. Persons familiar with the principals in the case state that two of Rous's children left home some time ago because of his actions and relations with Mrs. Strange.

WIFE OF ROUSE FILES DIVORCE
----------
Married Month Before Arrest of Husband
on Charge of Criminal Assault
----------
Mr. and Mrs. Rouse formerly lived in Brandywine township. They were married March 19 of this year and the separation is given in the complaint as taking place on the day that Mr. Rouse was convicted in the Shelby circuit court of the rape charge. He was alleged to have criminally assaulted a girl, 12 years old. The assault took place a short time after his marriage to Mrs. Rouse.
The only ground set out in the complaint is the conviction and sentence of Mr. Rouse on the charge of rape. Mrs. Rouse also asks the return of her former name of Sarah H. Land.
