WIFE  SAYS  HUSBAND
  REFUSED  TO  WORK
----------
(From Friday’s Daily)
          Mrs. Mary Tillison, 506 Montgomery street, has filed a complaint
against  Allie Tillison,  in the Shelby circuit court for a divorce,
charging failure to provide and the defendant’s refusal to secure employment. 
The couple was married June 12, 1920, and the separation occurred January 1,
1923. Elmer Bassett is the attorney for the plaintiff.
          Mrs. Tillison asserts in the complaint that she gave the defendant $100 of
her money after their marriage on his promise to repay her, but that he has
never done so.  She states that she was compelled to work at Indianapolis from
the time of their marriage until March, 1922, when she returned to this city to
live at the home of her mother.  The defendant provided her with no clothing and
refused to go to housekeeping she says.  He went to Anderson, Indiana to work,
the first of the year, the complaint sets out and promised to provide a home
there but she asserts that when she arrived at Anderson, he again refused to
provide a home and she returned here.
          The defendant is now residing in Anderson, the complaint states, and is now
working in that city.  Mrs. Tillison requests the return of her former name of 
Mary
Headlee.
