CHARGES OF WIFE
E. A. Rounds, the House Mover
Defendant in Sensational
Divorce Suit.
SPOUSE DRIVEN FROM HOME
In Hiding for a Week in Fear of
Husbands Threats-Married
in 1874.

Edwin \. Rounds, the house mover,
is made defendant in a suit for di-
vOrce containing sensational charges
filed by his wife, Margaret Rounds. in
the circuit court, through her attor-
neys, Sweeney & Walker.
The couple were married at Clin-
ton, Iowa, March 16, 1874, and have
four children. Albert, William, Ma
dora and Nellie. The male children
are all married, while Nellie has been
an invalid for a year past and has
been living with her mother.
In her declaration Mrs. Rounds
states that ION account of some triv-
al matter, which was unintentional
on her part. and without provocation
said defendant commenced to abuse
your oratriX. calling her bad names,
intimating she was untruthful and
unfaithful to him, and did this to such
an extent your oratriX was almost
driven to desperation, and finally
drove your oratriX from the house
in violent manner by pushing her,
and would not permit your oratriX
to take her clothes therefrom."
Mrs Rounds states that, fearing
threats to take her life. she hid from
him in the neighborhood of her home
for week. He told her she must
leave Rock Island; that both of them
could no longer live in the same town.
Leaves City to HumOr Husband.
To humor her husband she states
that she did leave the city. remaining
away for three weeks, and making
her home during that time with her
sister-in-law. At the solicitation of
her children she returned. and for
awhile her husbands behavior to-
ward her was bearable, but he did
not continue long in this frame of
mind.
In 1901 Mrs. Rounds charges that
her husband became intimate with
a domestic employed at their home,
and when she protested against his
conduct he drove her from the house
again. The couple have lived apart
for more than two years.
Judge Graves yesterday granted a
divorce to Ida May Close from Edward
Close, on the grounds Of cruelty. They
were married in 1896 and have two
children.
