HAS THREATENED
HIS LIFE
----------
Shaner and his wife were married January 6, 1923, after they had become acquainted through the columns of a matrimonial newspaper. Their separation occurred about six weeks later, on February 22, 1923.
Shaner advertised for a mate and Mary Hare, a young girl of Bartholomew county, answered his notice. Soon afterwards they were married, and came here to live. Then trouble started.
The husband charges that James Elliott, of Bartholomew county, a wealthy and aged farmer, called on his wife and took her riding. He alleges that Elliott gave her candy and called her “honey” in his conversations with her.
The plaintiff charges that his wife remained out late at night and that she threatened to strike him with stove wood. Shaner asserts that as a night watchman he was at his work all night and that when he returned home in the mornings, he had to clean the house and wash the dishes. He complains that his wife would not stay with him when he was sick. When they separated, Shaner charges that his wife went to live with Elliott.
Shaner has filed a complaint for damages against Elliott in the Bartholomew Circuit Court at Columbus, alleging Elliott alienated the affections of his wife.
