Verne F. Riser, who recently returned to his home after three years in
the United States Navy, today filed a suit for divorce against Pearl Riser.
He also asks the custody of their four year old daughter Dorothy.
Wray
and Sullivan are his attorneys
The complaint states that the couple was married January 24, 1914, and
separated June 19, 1916. Mr. Riser charges that his wife refused to keep their
home tidy, and that she would remain in bed late of mornings, refusing to get
breakfast, and sometimes refused to prepare other meals for him. She nagged him
about money, he alleges.
After she abandoned him, he enlisted in the navy, and she filed a suit for
divorce. Later Mrs. Riser dismissed the suit, the husband charges, and sought to
obtain a government allowance. The plaintiff says that he voluntarily made an
allotment for the support of the child, but that the mother used most of the
money on herself, buying clothing and for pleasure, and that the child
benefitted only a small amount.
