Dr.. clifford Sued.
His Wife Wants a Divorce From
Him,
Neglect. DrunkeneSs And Illicit Re-
lationS With Well known WO-
men Are Charged.

A stir has been created in political
as well as social circles by divorce
proceedings, which were instituted in
the Forty-fifth District court yester-
day. The defendant in the case is Dr.
George G. Clifford, Republican, who
is at present in Washington, it is, said,
on a political mission.
The complainant is Eleanor Clifford,
and she alleges in her petition that she
always demeaned herself toward her
husband with forbearance, kind
ness, fidelity and affection, but that
he has disregarded his duty, and has
been guilty of excuses of cruel treat
ment of such a nature as to render
their living together insupportable.
She alleges that shortly after their
marriage defendant commenced a
course of cruel treatment towards her
which he has since kept up; that he
has led life of dissoluteness: that
during the last fourteen months he
has neglected her by coming home
late nearly every night in a state of
lnebrity; that he has failed to support
her and her child, throwing them up
on the Kindness of her mother; that all
his earnings were spent in carousing
and drinking and gambling, and in
such a manner as to bring reproach.
and disgrace upon her anr her child,
and to constantly and deliberately
cast insult in her face.
q pl1 infiff fnrfhaY. uare
defendant during the whole of his
married life, has often. night after
night, gone hack riding with lewd wo-
men, winning and dining them, and dur
ing said time, he sepnt and squandered
large funds and sums of money, which
were the separate property of this
plaintiff, and in his life of lewdness
and libertinism and adultery, he has
been so open and notorious. and so
disregardful of the rights of this plain
tiff, as to bring insult and shame and
reproach upon her by his said life.
That said conduct, as before alleged,
has been studied and deliberate.
A sensational feature of the petition
is the names of feminine members of
well known families of San Antonio.
which are given, and plaintiff charges
1t to be fact that defendant has had
illicit relations with these. women.
This part of the petition has proved
quite a drawing card, and District
Clerk Nat Lewis office has been be-
sieged with visitors to get glimpse
at the names set forth in the petition.
Plaintiff and defendant were mar
ried in this city January 10, 1891, and
have one child, a girl.
