ALrRsBuRGER's DIVORCE.
A rather full account OF the Altenburger
divorce suit was published at the time of the
filing of the suit, which was year ago this
month The complaint alleges that Jacob
and Anna Aitenburger were married July
10. 1862 jacob had been a resident OF the
State for thirty five years, and for twenty
years had lived ia the city. He bad no chill
dren by Anna, but she had four children by
a former husband. These came TO make
their home with Jacob and Anna at the time
OF the marrisee, and continued to live with
them up 10 the time OF the separation. After
they bad arrived of eye, thev concocted a
plan TO worry jacob and force him TO turn
over his proper v. worth At that time 5000,
to them in order to be relieved from any fur
Their annoyance. To this end his wife aud
stepchild en- began q system of petty persecu-
tons against him. such as heaping abuse
upon him. calling him all manner of foul,
obscene and insulting names, throwing him
out of his chair and pitching him of the
porch. He was then seventy years of age
and unable to protect himself from them.
He finally, as q me ms. of relief, did transfer
one OF four pieces OF real estate TO them
worth s. 600 but this made no difference to
them, for they still continued 70 annoy him,
and, as the complaint alleges, they
took him out 10 shed one
day, threw rope over his
head and hung him. His life was only saved
ment. At various other times they threat
ened to kill him unless he would give up ID
them all hi~ property. To save himself from
further harm be did transfer portion OF the
property to them, among other things all his
furniture and 5000 10 Mrs. Altenburger. At
that time be was living at 100 Blake street
which had been his home Since 1862. The
divorce was soon afterward granted by Judge
Adams and entry was made to that etfecs,
although Mrs. Altenburger made defense
in Court to the case.
