Eggleston. who has brought suit against
Eveland P. EgSeSston for an absolute
legal separation. The ground on which
Eggleston seeks a decree is cruelty.
Charles Eggleston's matrimonial ven

visit to friends in the East he met and
after a very short courtship took as his
bride the young woman he Is now suing.
The marriage took place in Kansas City
only last May, and from all accounts the
happiness of the young couple was quite
as short as the courtship, for within less
than one month Eggleston had left his
bride and returned to his home in this
city. Even then only n few OF his closest
friends were made aware Of the fact that
he had become a benedict
