NEW SUIT ON NOTE FILED

Case Set For Trial Today Continued Indefinitely
Because Defendant is Suffering From a Broken Leg

(From Thursday’s Daily)
Mrs. Lulu Hume, employed as a domestic in a home on west Franklin
street, filed suit in circuit court today asking a divorce from Claude Hume,
and the custody of their son, Claude, now six years old. Mr. Hume is said
to be living somewhere in the north part of the state. The couple were married
February 24, 1908, and their period of happiness together was brief indeed, for
the complaint shows that they separated March 12, 1908.
Mrs. Hume alleges that her husband abandoned her without cause and that he
has not since the day he left contributed anything toward the support of herself
and the child. She asks for the custody of the child on the allegation that Mr.
Hume is not a fit person to have the care of the boy. She states that her
husband is past thirty years of age and that he is earning good wages. In
connection with the issuing of the divorce decree she asks that the court order
her husband to pay her attorneys $25 as a fees and that he be compelled to
contribute $3 per week toward the support of the child. Mrs. Hume is represented
in the suit by Hord & Adams.
