So Charges Mrs. Donna Clingenpeel
In Complaint For A Divorce Filed Here

HAD  THREATENED  HER  LIFE
----------
          Sent into a tobacco shop in a strange town, many miles from her home and friends to purchase some tobacco for her husband, and to find her husband has gone when she emerged from the shop, was the experience of  Mrs. Donna Clingenpeel, of this city, according to her statement in a complaint for a divorce which she has filed against  Clarence Clingenpeel, in the Shelby circuit court.  Wray and Sullivan are attorneys representing Mrs. Clingenpeel.
          The couple was married April 15, 1919, and separated December 13, 1922.  Mr. and Mrs. Clingenpeel formerly lived at St. Paul.  The wife says that her husband struck and beat her.  She says that she was compelled to use money which she had received from the estate of her first husband, to support herself. Mrs. Clingenpeel asserts that her husband knocked her across the stove, and that he threatened to kill her.  A former suit for a divorce which she had filed here, was dismissed by the wife, after she says that her husband had promised to treat her better.
          She states that she and her husband left here last fall for an automobile trip to Florida.  Arriving in DeLand, she says that her husband sent her into a store to buy some tobacco, and that when she came out he had driven away in the machine.  She asks that her former name of  Donna Youngman  be restored to her.
