between Tanner and Prof. f. w.
Benton, which had attracted atten-
ton for several weeks until both
persons were fined in police court. is
presented by the allegations in the
petition and a point in favor of Ben
ton is thereby scored.
The woman states in the petition
that she and Tanner were married in
Southern Illinois about six years ago;
that Tanner treated her shortly after
their marriage in a, cruel and inhu-
man manner. finally ending in driv-
ing her from home. She became a
school teacher. leaving Illionis and
coming to Paducah, where she Sc
cured a position in the schools.
shortly after settling in Paducah
she alleges Tanner followed and be-
gan to interfere with her in many
ways by threats and other acts which
made life unpleasant. For five years
she alleges they have been separated
and she asks for a divorce, the Gus
tody of their child and the restora-
ton of her maiden name.
Tanner, it will be remembered, ac-
cused Benton of alternating the affec-
tions of his wife, but the suit brought
today, II the allegations be true,
shows that she was driven from
home prior to coming to Paducah.
