Hodge
Each of his wives brought forward
charges OF cruelty il her plea for divorce.
To the plea of cruel and inhuman treat
ment the last wife has added the charge
of Incorporating her property.
Hodge came to Winchester about ten
years ago. To women he was fascinating
and he quickly won the hand of Miss Anna
Moore, daughter of a prosperous Laurel
County farmer. They had not been mar
ried two years before she procured di-
yorce. Then in another year she died.
After the death OF his first divorced wife
Hodge began to pay attention to ner
younger sister. In year they were mar
ried, in another year divorced. Then after
the expiration of six months came a recon-
ciliation and remarriage OF the Divorces.
The court was asked to separate them
finally within a few months after Their
second wedding. The third Moore sister
helped Hodge bring about his fourth mar
riage two years ago. Now she, too is
suing for divorce.
