FILED BY MRS. PRESLEY
She Claims Her Husband Has Been
Implicated in Crimes and
Treated Her Cruelty. |

Nora Presley yesterday began am
action for divorce from her husband,
William Presley, to whom she was
married in st. Paul in 1892, plaintiff
then being seventeen years of age and
defendant twenty. The plaintiff al
leges that the defendant, who now livas
at Mankato, was implicated in the
grand larceny in December, 1893, for
which one Charles Hastings is now in
the penitentiary. She claims the prop
erty stolen was taken to the home of
Presley, but she was ignorant as to
how it had been acquired, and that
her husband tried to fmplicate her in
the crime, and when she demonstrated
he threatened to kill her. She charges
that Presley again told her he was
about to commit another larceny in
September last, and when she remon-
strated with him he threatened to kill
her with a razor. She further charges
that he is man of other immoral
habits and practices: that plaintiff
was delicate woman when she mar
ried him, and that he has forced her
to submit to excuses that have made
her life miserable. She asks for a de-
cree of absolute divorce and that she
: be allowed to resume her maiden
name, Nora LOngWay.

him for $500. The agreement was
drawn up and signed, but was not to
take effect legally until the money was
paid. Johnson, ii is stated, fraudulent

of making him preferred creditor.
