Couple Married In May Have Separated
And Wife Asks For a Divorce
----------
Mrs. Mildred Poole, residing at 36 ½ east Broadway, asks judgment of
a divorce and the return of her former name, in a complaint filed today in the
Shelby circuit court against Elbert (Pete) Poole, clerk in a downtown
store. The complaint was filed for Mrs. Poole by Emerson Brunner, her attorney
in the action.
The marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Poole took place May 29, this year, shortly
after Mr. Poole had obtained a divorce from his first wife in the Shelby circuit
court. The complaint sets out that the couple separated Tuesday of this week.
Mrs. Poole asks the return of her former name Mildred Anthony.
Mrs. Poole alleges that her husband abused her, criticizing her method of
housekeeping and was out late at night. She charges that his first wife lived
with them for several days although the plaintiff protested. She alleges that
Mr. Poole said he did not care for her and that he frequently professed his love
for his first wife.
