Her-A Distressing Tale.

Mrs. Frances A. Golightly of 52a

ciuded that love in a cottage, when her
companion is Thomas r. Golightly, is
not what it has been cracked up to be.
SO yesterday she began suit for divorce
from her husband in the Third district
court
Her complaint tells a narrowing tale
of brutality, in which her husband
plays a role that Bill Sykes would
have biushed at. She was married to
Golightly, who is barber by trade,
on April 6, 1896, and has two children.
About month after their marriage,
she says, Golightly began to use her
most cruelty, one of his favorite pas
times being to seize her by the nose
and twist it. He varied this, she al
leges, by knocking her down, kicking
her and shaking her by the arms, using,
in the meantime, all kinds of choice
language toward her.
AS a result of these pla. fuI amenities
on the part of Golightly, MI Golightly
says that she has been very seriously
injured, and has been compelled to have
doctor attend her on several occa-
sions. She asks divorce, the custody
of her children and reasonable ali
