DIVORCE And DAMAGE
Mrs. Merle Martin Makes Sensa-
tional Changes In Court.

Merle Martins complaint against
her husband, Freddie Martin, took on
more serious turn than that Of the
justice courts, where when the case
was first heard II was a days amuse.
ment to those present, and in the dis
trict court today her petition as fled
recites more grevious wrongs than be-
ing chased out Of her home In the
dead Of night, clad only in her night
clothes and fiimsy fascinator. And
for her wrongs she asks $4,000 dam
ages and divorce.
Mrs. Martin, who was a girl OF IL
when she married Fred Martin, and
married him, her petition states, not
too soon, claims that she was preg-
nant at the time, and that without
her knowledge or consent, and vita
false pretepse the Martins caused an
abortion. She claims that her health
has been greatly damaged by the act,
and for this she asks a damage OF s5,-
10000. She also asks a similar
amount for alienation Of her hus.
bands affections. The suit Is brought
against Maggie and Ed p. Martin, par.
ents OF Fred.
Mrs. Merle Martin also appeals TO
the court asking that she be divorced
from her husband.
The case attracted attention In the
justice courts where II was tried as
an assault case before Justice Bacon.
Fred Martin, the husband, his brother
Noel, and VIII Hamm, brother.in.
law, were convicted OF assault upon
the child wife, and fined $1,000. They
had the Sunday before appeared at
the Martin home, armed with rife
and revolver, II not also shot gun,
and frightened the young woman. One
Of the men, Hamm, according to the
testimony, held up the gun like sol
der and asked the nrrve-racked wife,
who had ordered him to stay out OF
her home, Now what do you think
you can do?"
The most serious charge in the petit.
ton filed with the county clerk by
Mrs. Martins attorney, G. Z. Orvls,
was but limited at in the trial in the
Justice court Mrs. Martin, when be-
fore Justice Bacon, stated that she
was at that time pregnant, and that
the row which occurred between her.
self and the Marins was partially at
least due to her refusal TO submit TO
similar operation. She ayerred that
she mad been given some drug in tea
by the Martins, and that II produced
characteristic pains which made her
believe that an attempt was being
made by drug 10 accomplish that pur-
pose. 4 was the fear Of such a pois-
oning that drove the girl from her
home to a neighbours clad only in her
night clothes.
The trouble according to the story
Is case OF TOO much mother-in-law,
and unique in history is the fact that
II is the WHEY who objects.
The same trouble occurred when
mrs. Martin formerly was taken to
her mother 8 home by her husband,
after a quarrel In which his mother
figured, and at that time Mrs. Martin
brought suit for divorce, which was
afterward abandoned upon reconcIlIa-
tion, and the stipulation that Mrs.M
tin, the elder, not interfere with the
children.
