sTANWooD AGAIN SUED.
His Wife Alleges That He HIS Grossly
Mistreated Her and That He
Has No Mems of Support

Ex-Jusiice of the Peace James H. Stan
wood. of Westport. was yesterday sued
for divorce by Margaret /. Stanwood,
whom he married only a few months ago.
A number of charges are alleged I'm the pc
lition.
The couple were married April - last
and lived together until October !. At the
lime OF the ceremony the petition alleges
keeping a boarding house at No. 1704 East
Eighth street. The defendant is said TO
have concealed from the plaintiff the fact
that he had no employment. =
For time, Mrs Stanwood alleges, they
lived on the savings of the plaintif. from
her earnings, but when these were ex-
and make a living for him. herself and
her l2-year-old daughter. She acceded to
his wish, she says, and did secure en-
iloyment in a store on Walnut street:
Her earnings, she calims, he took from
her and about the middle of May he be-
gan systematic course of violence and
abuse. She says that he told her that "he
did not have 10 work. as she could earn
good wages as he could" He also
abused her in the presence of her daugh-
ter, and she says he called her such vile.
indecent and scurrilous names that II would
he improper 10 set them forth in the petit
tion. She alleges that he also ground
lessiy accused her of immoral conduct and
that when she once tried to persuade him
10 secure employment he assaulted her
During the short period of their married
life. the petition alleges. he was pursuing
his ana ueNDtlOns 10 Otner
women. especially to woman named Mrs
Lena Grace. to whom he wrote a letter.
saying that his present marriage lies
would soon be dissolved and that he would
then marry her.
A second count In the petition says that
the plaintiff has moved to No. 1909 Garfield
avenue, but the defendant annoys her there
and is endeavoring to drive her boarders
away from her house. She states that he
IS a vagrant within the meaning of the law
and asks for an order restraining him
from interfering with her.
The case will come up for hearing in
Judge Henrys court.
Stsnwood has achieved considerable no.
toriety in the past. Another claim to dis
tinction is based upon his refusal to sur
render his Office of Justice of the peace at
Westport after the office had become ex-
tinct.
Married and deserted in one day is the
brief story told in a petition for divorce
filed yesterday by Alice NJ. Bemis against
Joseph Remis She states that the cere-
mony was performed ut INDEPENDENCE, Sep
fember %. 1926. and that the same day
her husband left her. and that he has never
contributed n cent TO her support
He thought that her parents would sup
port him. said Attorney Wallace. when
he filed The suit, but when they gave him
TO understand that he would have to get
out ard hustle he hustled himself off and
took his grip with him."
Henry Campbell alleges desertion I'm his
suit for divorce from Fannie Campbell.
