The couple was married October 7, 1922, and separated last Sunday, the complaint states. Mrs. West charges her husband was quarrelsome, cursed her and threatened to kill her. On the day of the separation she says he became angry and broke her stove, then rushed toward her with a threat to kill. She had to leave home and go to her son, she claims.
During the fits of anger, Mr. West would tear down curtains, draperies and break up the glassware, she alleges.
