| The divorce suit of Alice Thompson
against her husband, Howard Thomp-
son, on the ground of adultery,
came up before Judge Thayer Mel
win in the Circuit Court yesterday af-
ternoon. The petition for divorce was
filed some months ago, but not until
yesterday did the defendant make an
swer. In his answer. Mr.. Thompson
alleges improper relations with a GER
| tain prominent young gentleman of
Wheeling. His allegations generally,
were of such a character as to have
| furnished him ground for divorce in
an action brought by himself, if they
were sustained.
| The case came up in the form OF
motion by plaintiff for temporary ali
mony and for expense of conducting
the suit, pending its determination.
Mrs. Thompson was represented by
John A. Howard. and Mr.. Thompson
by Capt B. B. Dovener.
The fact was developed by affidayits
submitted, and by the statements Of
| counsel, that Mrs. Thompson was paid
| S35 a month by her husband through
Col. Arnett. who was then her attor-
ney. This sum was not agreed upon
by the parties, but was paid voluntarily
by Thompson. The sum which Thomp-
son set aside for the purpose was $500,
and virtually all of that sum has already
been paid to the plaintiff, who asked for
| greater amount, alleging that she
paid $45 per month for board at the
Hotel Windsor, and that she supported
child in addition. 1t also developed
that tender of $35 was made to Mrs.
Thompson yesterday, which she refused
to accept. The statement was made to
the court in her behalf. that she did
this because she feared her signature
to the receipt for the money would in
some manner affect her interests in yes
terdays proceedings.
The court decided that Mrs. Thomp-
son be paid temporary alimony in the
sum Of $35 per month, and that she
be allowed SIS for expenses.
